Home Remedies for Common Skin Problems– Your Guide
Cathy Let’s jump directly into the Home Remedies for Common Skin Problems. So that you don’t have to deal with any bla bla bla.
Dry Skin
rough skin; skin that appears and feels tight and impaired; Itchy skin. A very basic fix to this is to include coconut oil in your diet. Coconut oil is another product that can be recommended when it comes to skin moisturising. Coconut oil can be rubbed on the affected areas in a thin layer and let it on for the night. In the morning, wash it off with warm water. Your skin should feel improved in terms of touch, which should feel soapier.
Eczema
Considering the rashes and itchiness that come with eczema as well as the burning sensation and flaking of your skin, I found that having an oatmeal bath helps a lot with these issues as I found that oatmeal has anti-inflammatory properties which will help soothe the skin that has been irritated. Oatmeal contains plenty of vitamins and anti-aging properties; It is recommended to grind one cup of oatmeal till it is very fine and then put it in warm water in order to make a smooth paste that can be applied to the skin by adding it to bath water. Stay in the bath for no more than 15-20 minutes and then rinse off your body, do not rub the skin with a towel roughly.
Sunburn
Sunburn is generally characterised by pain and harm on the skin tissue. Although its mechanism of action has not been well investigated, aloe vera is a commonly reputed treatment for sunburn because, when you cut it, it has a gel-like substance that you can use to put on your burns and relieve the pain. It is a very great cooling and relieving agent that I found works wonders on my sunburned skin. You can perform this many times a day for relief from pain and hastens the healing process.
Dark Spots
Skincare issues such as hyperpigmentation which appear in the form of dark spots may be caused by the sun, acne or ageing. If you want to get rid of these, then I recommend that you use lemons as they have an acidic property which will help in lightening your skin; if you want to do this, all you have to do is get a lemon and cut it in half, then take the juice from it and put it on the affected are for 15 minutes maximum and then rinse it off. Again, one should not go out during the strong sunlight since the use of lemon juice makes the skin sensitive to radiation.
Skin Care Recommendations you can do at Home
Apart from the above said specific remedies there are some general homemade tips that one can follow to have a healthy skin. Hydrate your skin by taking a lot of water. Ensure that you take balanced meals especially fruits and vegetables to feed your skin the necessary vitamins and minerals. Do not use strong chemicals on your skin and prefer going for natural products when you can. Wash your face on a daily basis to minimise accumulation of the skin pores by oil and dirt. Hydrate your skin by applying lotions every time you go out in the sun or you can wear sunscreen.
