TIPS DIY home remedies for dry, oily or sensitive skin:

Protect and hydrate your skin this spring with the right skincare products to prevent sun exposure from damaging and aging the skin. Use moisturizing  Serums and nourishing oils or gels to nourish and brighten your skin. Don't forget to exfoliate without damaging the skin, to remove dead skin cells and give it a fresh, younger look.

Did you know that when skin is well hydrated and nourished, our skin produces extra Filagrin, a protein that occurs naturally in human skin and is essential for the formation of a healthy skin barrier where it is converted into the components of the skin's Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF).

To stimulate filagrin production, it's important to hydrate the skin well and protect it from dryness and irritants. Dehydrated skin can disrupt filagrin production, which can lead to a weakened skin barrier and various skin problems.

DIY: Unclog Pores and Eliminate Pimples:

Your skin secretes natural oils called sebum to keep the skin hydrated and protect it from moisture loss and damage. Unfortunately  excessive sebum production  can clog pores and also attract dirt and dust, causing acne, blackheads and uneven skin.

Did you know that there have been studies claiming that excessive consumption of cow's milk can lead to increased sebum production, which can worsen acne, while yogurt or goat's milk do not. How this works exactly is unknown. One theory is that hormones in cow's milk cause inflammation in the body, which can trigger acne by clogging pores. However, more research is needed to confirm this. Read about this study here.

Do you suffer from clogged pores and want to deeply cleanse your skin at home and achieve clearer skin? You can try natural remedies at home. Read more here:
