Case Summary  |  Dry , Flaky Skin - From working under the sun


Condition Skin Dry Flaky
Case Description

Ever since I started to work at the Airport, I noticed that my skin is getting so dry and flaky . This condition irritates me so much. It will get itchy especially during summer and winter time. My face is getting red. I have try a lot of products from the pharmacy, facial wash, skin ointment and even cocoa butter. Even though It does help a little but I noticed that I did not get enough moisture from these products. Until one day my wife told me to use natural product such us Extra Virgin Olive Oil, and Castor oil. I hesitate at first because I do not think I will like the feeling of oil on my face but I still gave a try. Amazingly, my face feel much better after 2 weeks of the regimes. My wife also told me to take Apple Cider Vinegar (Raw Unfiltered) in the morning for added benefit. It makes you cleanse the body and natural detox which help for your skin.

After trying these cheap/natural treatment, I will never go back buying expensive products/lotion /skin repair from the counter. Plus I don't have to worry about any chemicals and ingredients because this is pure natural oil. I also learn that, the best moisturizer is your own natural skin oil. So when I used EVOO and Castor Oil to clean my face, not just that It removes impurities but at the same time it wont completely strip your skin natural oil. My skin is not completely healed yet but I am going to right path.

Description

EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL & CASTOR OIL

Before I go to bed, I will deep clean my face with Extra Virgin Olive Oil (70%) and Castor oil (30%) mixed together. First I will massage the oil all over my face. Then get a towel and soak into warm water and put on your face until the towel is cold. Then slowly massage your face for a minute or two. Then soak the towel again onto warm water and leave it on your face until it is cold. Repeat until all the oil is gone. DO NOT scrub your face with towel. When you wake up in the morning, just splash some cold water to freshen your face.
