It is always good to consult a dermatologist when you are dealing with skin problems but there are times when you can not do that or you just do not want to so here are some home remedies to get rid of some common skin problems.
Sunburn:
You will need:
1) A pitcher
2) A rag that you do not mind getting stained
3) Water
4) Three bags of black tea
Method:
Fill the pitcher with warm water and soak the tea bags in it. When you have the water almost black keep it to cool. When it’s cool, dip the rag in it then put it on the sun burn for 5 minutes but do not rub. Do it for about 5 times on every part and sleep without washing it off. You will feel the difference in the morning.
Acne:
You will need:
1) 3 eggs
2) Moisturizer
Method:
Separate 3 egg whites from their yolks. Whisk them properly and allow them to settle for 3 minutes. Apply the whisked egg whites to the pimples using your fingers. Wait for them to dry then repeat. Do this around 4 times. Then leave the final mask for like 20 minutes, rinse off and apply a suitable skin moisturizer.
Dull Skin:
You will need:
1) 1 potato
2) A knife
Method:
Cut the potato in half. In the bare skin part of the potato, make holes with the help of a knife and let its juices come out. Rub the potato on your face and neck for 10 minutes. Let it dry and then go off to sleep. Wash your face in the morning.
Scars on the skin:
You will need:
1) Carrots
2) Flour
Method:
Just mash a carrot well and add some flour to it. Mix both of them well. Apply this paste on your face and leave for 15 minutes. Wash off with lukewarm water.
Uneven skin tone:
You will need:
1) Milk powder
2) Milk
Method:
Take one teaspoon of milk powder and add enough milk to make a smooth, creamy paste. Apply this milk paste all over your facial skin and neck and relax for about 20 minutes or until it’s dry.
