FACIAL PACK FOR OILY SKIN AND ACNE
A facial pack is an intensive healing treatment that makes use of moist heat a to remove deep-seated impurities. If you have pimples, blackheads or boils, a purifying facial pack may be just what you need. Even if you don't have any unsightly blemishes, a facial pack will provide moisture to dehydrated skin (oily skin can get dehydrated, too).
Oily and acned skin need to be completely moisturized and nourished, just like dry skin. Facial packs are applied in a thick layer (unlike facial masks) to offer skin a very intense cleansing. Regularly apply a facial pack to supply your skin with minerals that are crucial in maintaining a healthy, taut complexion without dryness.
FACIAL PACK FOR OILY SKIN & ACNE APPLICATIONS
APPLICATION
Prepare your skin for a pack with the oatmeal-yogurt scrub. Then, with your fingers, apply a facial pack thickly, leaving the eye area uncovered. If the pack is a bit gooey or runny, lie down for the 20-30 minutes you leave it on. Rinse with warm water and pat dry. Finish the treatment by massaging in a moisturizer or aloe vera gel, which will add moisture to the skin's surface.
A powdery, astringent "healing earth" called French Green Clay may be purchased in health-food stores or online. It is available through Mountain Rose Herbs and Herbal Remedies. This mineral-rich clay reduces sebum production and keeps moisture in the tissues.

ENZYME PACK
1/4 Cup Freshly Mashed Papaya
1 Teaspoon Fresh Pineapple Juice
To combat oily, acned skin and surface dehydration, mash the papaya and combine it with the pineapple juice until thoroughly mixed and smooth. Gently pat this onto your face and neck.

Leave this mixture on your face for 15 minutes and then rinse. The enzymes in these fruits will help dissolve and lift away dry-skin scales which can, over time, build up on your skin, clog pores and result in a dull appearance.
