Here are some natural things you can use to help in keeping your skin clear.

* Papaya - it has skin care properties in this tropical fruit, which is used in healing cuts and is used as an antibacterial medicine. It helps in removing damaged and dead skin, because of the enzymes in it. Papaya juice is used in reducing brown spots and freckles. Here is a recipe for a facial mask for any skin type:

1/4 cup of ripe papaya

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup cocoa

2 tsp. of cream

2 tsp. of oatmeal powder

Mix together until the consistency is just right and apply it to your face. Leave on for approx. 10 minutes and then wash your face with some warm water.

* Walnuts - the Persian walnut is considered an ingredient that is used through out the cosmetic industry everywhere. Chinese people use walnuts in creating kidney tonics, which is a very traditional medicine.

Grinding the walnuts very fine, into a powder, helps in getting rid of dead skin and helps in cleansing it.

Use 2 tsp. of fine ground walnuts and 2 tablespoons of plain yogurt, combine and apply it to your wet face. Scrub the mixture into your skin and avoid getting it near or under your eyes. After 20 minutes rinse it off with warm water.

*Coconut - did you know that the coconut tree is actually called "the tree of life"? I just learned that the water that comes out of the coconut after it is cracked open contains the same mineral context of blood. By washing your face with this water will help keep your skin free of any blemishes.

Using a paste from the coconut milk (not the water) and red sandal powder will help keep your skin glowing and soft. You can find these coconuts in some Asian stores.

If you are interested in keeping your skin clear then I hope these 3 remedies helped in your search. You don't have to go broke buying all those expensive store products to have clear skin. You will find these foods in your local grocer or health food stores near you. Some of these results may not happen overnight but at least these are safe products you are using on your skin.
