Natural Remedies For Skin
Hello everyone; I am excited to share these natural skincare remedies for your skin issues. If you are particular about the products you use on your skin and love to use natural ingredients, then this blog post will help you.
There are many natural remedies for your skin that you can try at home. Some of them include applying mixtures with natural lighteners like lemon juice, honey, turmeric, or papaya to your face and skin. Then, rinse with lukewarm water after 20 minutes.
Keep your skin exfoliated and moisturized, and use sunscreen to keep your skin from getting darker or duller.
Also, you may use honey, especially raw and unpasteurized, with unique skin healing properties. Bees produce honey through a special process that combines enzyme activity, plant matter, and live bacteria. The result: a natural skin remedy that clears acne, heals scars and evens skin tone.
Lastly, you may take oatmeal baths, a common folk remedy for irritated skin.
Natural Remedies For Acne
Here are some natural remedies for acne that you can try at home:
- Tea tree oil: Gels containing at least 5 percent tea tree oil may be as effective as lotions containing 5 percent benzoyl peroxide, although tea tree oil might work more slowly.
- Aloe vera: Aloe vera is a natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, which means it might kill P. acnes, the bacteria that cause acne, and reduce inflammation.
- Green tea: Green tea is high in antioxidants, and drinking it can promote good health. Some evidence suggests that applying green tea directly to the skin can help reduce acne.
- Honey: Honey has antibacterial properties and may help reduce inflammation when applied to the skin.
- Jojoba oil: Jojoba oil is a natural, waxy substance extracted from the seeds of the jojoba shrub. The waxy substances in jojoba oil may help repair damaged skin, which could help treat acne scars.
How To Use Tea Tree Oil For Acne
Here’s how you can use tea tree oil for acne:
- Dilute three drops of tea tree oil into 2 ounces of witch hazel. Use it as a toner throughout the day.
- Combine 1 to 2 drops of tea tree oil with 12 drops of carrier oil. Before applying diluted tea tree oil to your face, do a small patch test on the inside of your elbow. Signs of skin irritation may include redness, itching, or swelling.
- Apply 1-2 drops of tea tree oil to a cotton swab. Gently apply the essential oil to the swollen bump on your skin. Repeat 2-3 times a day to help kill the infection that causes acne. Tea tree oil can be used directly on the skin for small infected areas (such as a spot treatment).
What Is A Carrier Oil?
A carrier oil is a neutral oil used to dilute essential oils like tea tree oil before they are applied to the skin. Carrier oils are used to dilute essential oils because they are too strong to be used undiluted. Common carrier oils include coconut, jojoba, and olive oil.
What Are Some Other Carrier Oils?
Some other carrier oils include:
- Sweet almond oil
- Grapeseed oil
- Avocado oil
- Sunflower oil
- Argan oil
What Are Some Other Uses Of Carrier Oil?
Carrier oils have many uses. Here are some examples:
- Moisturizing skin
- Removing makeup
- Reducing inflammation
- Treating acne
- Reducing the appearance of scars
