Oily Hair/Skin-
This is an imbalance of the oil production in the scalp and skin. Like
acne, improving liver function can help. Also, excess oil production often
indicates that not enough moisture is present, so the skin is overproducing
to compensate. Even with oily skin, a good moisturizer is necessary.
Nettle-nettle leaf can
help with balancing the oil production at the skin surface. Make a tea
using 1/2 ounce of nettle leaf in 1 pint boiling water. Steep for 15 minutes.
Strain. Cool. Apply to skin or use as a hair rinse.
AHA's- alpha hydroxy acids derived from fruit acids are used as face
peels, and are helpful in treating excess skin oil.
