Re: calming inflammation-suggestions

[Guest guest]

here's a few that i use/have learned:

1. Greatly reduce simple sugars/carbs in your

diet. Go on protein and veggies if you can.

2. Resist the temptation to try new skin care

products to fix the problem. Stick with what you

usually use.

3. Drink alot of water (if you don't already.)

4. Keep a washcloth in the freezer. lay it on

your face to cool it off.

5. If at a restaurant or at work, get some ice

water in a glass and roll it on your cheeks.

a can of soda works well too!

6. Rinse your face with distilled water, leave

pretty wet and put a drop or too of pure oil on

each side. i use almond oil. if your face is

really inflamed, only use oil for a couple days -

no moisturizer. this seems to let my skin be

protected and heal at the same time.

7. Sleep on your back in a cool room, preferably

with a window open a little, or a light fan on.

if you can't fall asleep on your back, try on

your side with arm under your temple so that your

face stays mostly off the pillow.

8. Wash pillow cases frequently. get a satiny

pillow case that does not rub your face at all. i

sleep on onw the those allergy pillows that has a

slippery cover. i don't use a pillow case at all.

9. Eat alot of fish with omega 3's. Try salmon.

10. try taking 1-2 tblsp. a day of flaxseed oil.

really helps dry skin and seems to reduce

inflammation/flakes.

that's all i can think of right now. hope that

helps!

take care,

carrie
