We continue our tour of our own garden in search of plants that help fight skin problems and diseases. Our natural clothes, given to everyone at birth, need care and attention to be elastic, silky and irresistible
St. John's wort
Golden yellow small flowers of St. John's wort can be found in meadows, or in thin woods. If the plant has already bloomed, then it's time to collect the healing herb containing a lot of components useful for human skin (tannins, phytoncides, vitamin C, carotene, essential oil …). You can plant St. John's wort in your own area so as not to waste time looking for him in the wild.
St. John's wort is a well-known and beloved doctor who helps with many ailments. But today we will talk about its ability to help our skin. Watching how deep wounds instantly heal on the body of action movie superheroes, we smile condescendingly, they say, that's what the movie is for. But, look at your finger, which you hurt with a sharp knife three or four days ago, trying to cut an onion that is slipping out of your hand with thin plastics. On the finger, even a cut mark is no longer visible. Such a fantastic life! But you have not even done anything to facilitate the work of your microscopic workers, who day and night stand guard over the integrity of your “temple” body.
Physiological natural process, called by scientists "epithelization", or in simple words - healing of wounds on the skin, can be accelerated by resorting to the help of drugs made from the herb St. John's wort. In addition, they will help relieve skin inflammation or irritation.
With a high fat content of the skin, which loves to attract dust, pathogenic microbes, viruses, and even spoil the appearance and mood of a woman, it will help
water infusion St. John's wort, for which all you need is 10 grams of dried herbs and a glass of boiling water.
Acne and oily skin of the face will help to pacify 30-40 drops
alcohol tincture Hypericum perforatum, added to half a glass of water. It is also used when discolored spots, called vitiligo disease, appear on the skin. The beautiful name of the disease does not add beauty to a person affected by vitiligo. There are many reasons for the appearance of white spots, including the stressful condition that haunts modern people.
If
water infusion of herbs helps fight oily skin, then
oil infusion St. John's wort is used to soften irritated dry skin of the face. It will take three weeks to prepare the oil infusion, any vegetable oil and St. John's wort flowers in a ratio (2: 1).
Wild strawberry
Once upon a time, wild strawberries were easily collected in large quantities, and therefore girls who wanted to shine with velvety and fresh skin, smeared their face with berries, going to bed. Although they hardly knew the chemical composition of berries, which lack only "bird's milk", but several useful acids (citric, malic, cinchona, salicylic), essential oil, vitamin C … iron, in terms of which strawberries are ahead of grapes at 40 times (someone has counted!), have a place to be.
Today, strawberries can be found in almost every summer cottage, where they are cared for and cherished, but they forget to grease their face with berries. Apparently, they do not want to lose freckles, which the mask of crushed berries can easily deal with.
Squashed
strawberries, water infusion of berries, freshly made juice not only destroy freckles, but also help get rid of annoying and painful acne, and simply soften the skin, preventing its premature aging (masks from the pulp of strawberry berries).
Do not lag behind in their healing qualities and
strawberry leaves … Compresses and lotions from an aqueous extract of leaves will help young people get rid of annoying acne. Such lotions also help with spots on the face.

Today we will run through our summer cottages, trying to find among the ornamental plants those that will help us in caring for our skin. It is so nice when the skin is soft and silky, not disappointing. Often we remember the skin only when it starts to rebel, covered with a rash, acne and other "negligible", demanding our attention to itself
