Home Remedies For Skin Problems

Hello!


Girls! And boys, how often are you embarrased with the issues you face with your skin? If you are like me, all the time! I always have dry, flaky skin and will always have a pimple in my face, which results to become scarred. It is awful. You are always insecure about it and your self-confidence drops...

More than for you, this is for me! Here I have a list of home remedies for the following skin problems. Try them and I will for sure look back at this and try these out. Note that I have just reseached them so I am not sure if they will work. If any of these do work, please let me know!


1. Dry/flaky skin

- Olive oil - make a scrub with sugar and exfoliate skin with the mask in round motions then rinse it off. Best to use brown sugar as it will be more gentle

- Milk - use a cotton ball to soak some milk and apply through the face and leave it for 5-10 minutes then rinse it off.

- Honey and Yogurt - make a mask by mixing both of them together and apply as a mask for 10-20 minutes then rinse off.

- Coconut oil - use it as a mask and wash it off after 10-20 minutes or as a moisturiser before going to sleep.

- Avocado - mash some avocado and apply it like a mask and leave it for 10-20 minutes.



2. Oily skin

 - Lemon juice - soak some lemon juice in a cotton ball and apply through the face and rinse off after 5-10 minutes.

- Tomato - slice a tomato and rub it all around your face and leave it for 5-10 minutes for the skin to soak up the juice then rinse it off.

- Cucumber - Same method as tomato

- Egg white - whip an egg white until stiff and apply as a mask for 10-20 minutes then rinse it off.



3. Spots/Blemishes

- Lemon juice - same method as oily skin but targetting the spot only.

- Garlic - cut a piece of garlic in half and rub it in the spot and leave it for 5-10 minutes then rinse off.

- Potato - slice a potato and rub it against the spot and leave it for 5-10 minutes then rinse it off.

- Avocado  - same method as dry skin but only targetting the spot only.



4. Hyperpigmentation

- Lemon - same method as oily skin. Beware for sensitive skin as it may irritate the skin so dilute it with some water. This can also have the reverse effect for some people, it may make it darker.

- Potato - same method as spot/blemishes

- Turmeric - make a paste by mixing with some milk and apply like a mask and leave it for 10-20 minutes then rinse it off.

- Aloe vera - use the pulp as a mask and leave it on for 10-20 minutes then rinse it off.



5. Redness

- Chamomile tea - soak some tea bags in luke warm water and apply all around your face with a cotton ball, leave it for 5-10 minutes then rinse it off.

- Green tea - same method as chamomile tea.

- Turmeric - same method as hyperpigmentation.

- Lavander oil - apply some oil directly on your face, or where you have redness and leave it for 10-20 minutes then rinse it off.



6. Open pores

- Ice - take an ice cube and rub on your face targetting the open pores until the ice cube lasts.

- Apple cider vinegar - soak some vinegar in a cotton ball and apply to the open pores and leave it for 5-10 minutes then rinse it off.

- Egg white - same method as oily skin.

- Baking soda - make a paste by adding a bit of water to a bit of baking soda and apply to the area with open pores then rinse it off after 10-20 minutes.

- Cucumber - same method as oily skin.



I hope you enjoyed it and you will make the most of this guide as me. I am sorry it is late, whenever I decide to post this. Again, if you try it or you have tried it before, let me know how it goes!


Take care,


Yours, Nafiza
