Well I wanted to start off by saying that as I was growing up I never had skin "issues" I actually had amazing skin but, like all good things that came to an end around 2 years ago. I started getting break outs on my face it was like I was going through puberty at 29 instead of at 13-17 like most girls so clearly I was not so happy and was like really at 29 are you serious??? Finding a solution to deal with your new or old skin "issues" can be tough when you don't know what to use so what I recommend is to read up on your skin type your skin "issues" and, anything that may be helpful to you in anyway shape or form. Not all of us in this world live a lavish life where we can go to the spa and get facials every week like in the real housewives of every county they show lol, so I like most housewives turn to at home facials with everyday things you probably already have in your home already. FYI {you don't have to be a housewife to follow these tips hahaha!!!} Lets face if our ancestors had at home recipes for almost everything and they made it work why can't we in this day and age? So lets do it and get ready to get your facial on literately lol I will post some recipes that I found on the internet "my best friend" some for oily skin types and some for dry since those are the most common issues we woman face, either we are to dry in the face or we are too oily.
I will also post some pics of my self so you can see Nazvie is a very brave girl lol. I hope you enjoy and as always thanks for reading. Please feel free to ask me a question or leave a comment and I will always try to get back to you as soon as I can.

Oily skin is troublesome to deal with most of the time. This skin type is often prone to pimples. However, if one can balance the oil levels of the face, it makes the skin look beautiful and smooth. In order to obtain that, you need proper cleansing, toning and moisturizing regimen. You must also know about an appropriate face mask which reduces oil levels. Following are some homemade facial masks for oily skin.
{Oily Skin:Strawberry and Yogurt Face Mask}
Take 4 – 6 properly washed strawberries in a small bowl and use a fork to mash them. Later, add a tablespoon of yogurt to it and mix them well. Make a smooth paste and apply it on the face evenly. Let it stay for about 15 – 20 minutes and rinse with cold water.
{Oily Skin:Avocado and Egg Face Mask}
Take an egg white in a bowl and thoroughly beat it. Mash half an avocado such that you get a soft pulp. Now put beaten egg, mashed avocado and a tablespoon of lime in a blender. Mix it well and apply this mixture on the face. Allow it to sit on the face for a few minutes and rinse it off. This gives you a clear and smooth skin.
{Oily Skin:Cucumber and Oatmeal face Mask}
Take a small cucumber piece, one tablespoon of yogurt and a cup of oatmeal. Chop cucumber into small pieces and put it in a blender. Put yogurt and oatmeal also in the blender and make a smooth paste. Apply this on the face and leave it for 10 minutes and rinse. This cleanses the skin pores effectively.
