Natural Remedies to Cure the Most Common Skin Problems
1. Acne: Such breakouts spoil the beauty of your face with red patches all over. More than pimples, acne instantly grab the eyeballs no sooner you are on the road. No matter how much foundation or concealer you put on, you simply cannot stop it from being in the spotlight! Certainly, you can go ahead for conventional treatments to treat acne but if it is of a mild or moderate degree, using natural methods can offer you great results. For treating acne naturally, you must apply aloe vera – a plant popular for its anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties. When you apply this, the action of bacteria is curbed, preventing the breakouts from becoming worse. Moreover, it soothes inflammation as well as the redness, the two most unpleasant parts of having acne. Another natural product is witch hazel – it effectively cures redness, inflammation and oiliness.
2. Scars: It is one of the most common skin concerns and let’s accept, we all have some or other kinds of scars. While some scars are minor ones but others are a bit more prominent. Not all scars can we treat so easily but fortunately, some scars are suitable for natural treatment more than anything else. If you have scars that are newer than the rest, home treatments can work wonders. It can do a lot to reduce the effects and give you great skin altogether. Should natural treatment be the perfect remedy for you, start with moisturizing – use aloe vera gel or coconut oil to moisturize the affected areas. Also, apple cider vinegar has proven effects in reducing the impact of scars. So dilute 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in half a cup of water. Dab it with cotton on the scarred area, let it stay for twenty minutes before you finally wash it off. However, if you have a fresh cut or bruise, avoid using apple cider vinegar.
3. Sunburn: Spending a day by the sea beach, basking under the sun is surely a splendid beach day until you have a sunburn that refuses to leave you alone! Excessive exposure to the direct rays of the sun (when you don’t apply a sunblock/sunscreen) can gift you with red, hot and painful skin all over your body. Moreover, if your already burnt skin gets sunburn again, it could result in premature aging and even skin cancer. The most effective way to avoid getting sunburn is by applying a daily-wear mineral-based sunscreen. However, if your skin is overly sun-kissed already, aloe vera is again coming to your rescue! With its anti-inflammatory properties, aloe vera can positively mollify your sunburn. Besides, aloe vera contains 99% water and hence, on applying this, moisture is restored in your poor sun-damaged skin.
