I also have oily skin that is prone to breakouts. I have had great results clearing out blackheads and shrinking large pores by applying a paste of baking soda and water after cleansing my face at night. Just use it as you would a face scrub and wash off. My skin is so much softer and really does glow!Replied By Barb (Perth Wa Australia, Australia) on 10/10/2012
Have read these post with alot of interest- it makes sense that mustard would work and any other product that draws. Clay is another product that as a 12yr sufferer of demodex I have found to help. Mustard has been used for centuries as a poultice to draw out splinters etc., clay is the same. Was thinking about the question of a carrier oil. Emu oil penetrates the skin to 6 layers deep. At least this may be a way to penetrate the layers easier and enter the follicles. I also found that using an LED machine has had great results.Replied By Lou (Tyler, Tx) on 01/24/2013
I read a post on another site that someone got a burning rash from emu oil. Please use care next to your brain.Replied By Andrea (Lufkin, Tx) on 06/26/2016
Look up "Flushing", I have this problem too.Replied By Sunnie (Santa Clara, Ca) on 08/01/2016
The apple cider vinegar, gives me a "flush" as well! It is because AVC is highly acidic. I too have Candida Albicans, and it takes awhile of constant use for a "reaction" to happen. At least one that you would notice. I personally, have just ordered DE. Diatomaceous earth. I will use this both externally for bird mites, and internally, for the candida! DE breaks down the "exoskeleton" of these parasites, and then immediately dehydrated them!!! Here's to hoping! -SunnieReplied By Dmoore (Ten) on 08/31/2016
Do you think defusing the oils you mentioned will help? I think my dogs contracted mites and were kind enough to share with me. I bought the neem, cedar oil, and peppermint and want to use them in the best way possible. I have GOT to get rid of this stuff before mid september because I have a vacation scheduled!!!!
