Two Herbal Remedies for Oily Skin

Use Apple Cider Vinegar and Yarrow for Problem Skin

Both apple cider vinegar and yarrow have cleansing and astringent properties that help to approve the appearance of problem skin. Following are two easy herbal remedies that you can make at home. Either one of these facials will have your skin glowing in no time!

Vinegar and Citrus Facial
Vinegar is good for both oily and dry complexions. The topical application of vinegar has been shown to noticeably improve skin plagued by acne, because vinegar not only cleanses the complexion but also tightens and closes the pores. In addition, vinegar has often been used to treat mature skin. Vinegar actually softens the skin and helps to eliminate fine lines caused by age. A citrus vinegar facial cleanser has a refreshing scent and serves has an excellent cleanser for most skin types. Although it does take a little time - two to three weeks - for your citrus vinegar facial cleanser to be ready for use, the wait is well worth the rewards.

Ingredients:
1 quart of apple cider or white wine vinegar
½ cup grated orange peel
½ cup orange leaves
½ cup orange flowers
Glass jar with lid

Warm the quart of vinegar. You do not need to put it on the stove and cook it. Simply place the vinegar on a sunny window seal for an hour or so.

Add ½ cup grated orange peel, ½ cup orange leaves, and ½ cup orange flowers to the vinegar.

Seal the vinegar mixture in a glass jar and sit on a sunny window seal for two to three weeks. Shake very well daily.

Strain the liquid into a glass jar and use as needed. For a less potent mixture, just dilute with water.

Tips
Consider substituting lemon for the orange.
This herbal vinegar can also be used as a hair rinse.
