DIY For Oily Skin

The oily skin in my opinion is awesome but that totally depends on how you care for it. The benefits of oily skin are endless including younger looking skin and less wrinkles. So stop complaining and start loving your skin.
The mud or clay mask is suitable for all skin types but best for oily skin. It draws excess oil and impurities from the skin. Also a remedy for large pores.
Clay can be found  in local markets.
                  Things you'll need:
Clay
Water
A bowl
Spatula
Mint leaves (optional)
       Mix clay with water until you achieve a smooth paste.
          Chop leaves, squeeze out water and add to  mixture
          Apply on face and neck avoiding eye and mouth areas
          Leave for 20 minutes
          Rinse with warm water
          Apply moisturizer

Cleanse skin before applying mask.

Skin Bleaching And Low Self Esteem

Image
It seems like everywhere you turn to these days, there is a skin bleaching or rather a ‘toning’ product. Though I am dark skinned, there are times when people I know have said “you’re getting darker, you should do something about it. Try to tone your skin.

I have seen girls come out of school straight into their...
