When a remedy is used orally, by the consumption of it, this treatment is focused on removing the fats and toxins from the blood flow. For this purpose, the beneficial herbs should be added into the meals and the drinks should be made of them (teas).

Also, the cosmetic masques can be made at home. They can be based on various species of herbs, such as nettle, aloe, basil, horseradish, chamomile, and so on. Those thick masques should be put on the face not more than the three times per week, but, when we talk about a daily usage, the mixture that is very beneficial to be applied onto the facial skin is actually the tea made from the herb called astringent.

Other than the mentioned mixtures, the creams and oils can be made with the herbs, and they are meant to be put on the face on a daily basis. The creams are made in the similar way as the pastes (masques), but the basis is not the herb itself, but the mixture of lanolin, honey and the oil from almond, for example. To that base, the ground herb should be added and that mass should be cooked after that, for a third of an hour. As far as the oils are concerned, they are made from a herb in the dried form, which should be mixed with some other herbal oil.
