Natural Tips To Help Get Rid Of Unwanted Pimple And Blemish Scars

Hate looking in the mirror and seeing those unwanted scars from a pimple or blemish that you just couldn't wait to pop?

I know it's gets annoying and you think to yourself I have to pop it or it will be noticeable.



LADIES STOP!

Whatever you do... Do NOT pop them, pick at them, mess with them or apply makeup on them, let them breathe. That can leave a scar.

Whenever you catch a pimple developing just apply some Tea Tree Oil. Tea Tree Oil has antifungal, antiseptic, and antibacterial properties. All you have to do is take a cotton ball or q-tip apply a small amount on it and dab it on your pimple. You can do this once or twice daily until your pimple is gone.


Make sure you drink plenty of water and get plenty of exercise. Also drinking a cup of Lemon Juice in the mornings will help. The water and lemon juice will help clean out the toxins in your body, promoting a healthy body from the inside as well as the out.


Below I am providing other natural ways to get rid of scars

Honey- honey can be applied to your scars twice daily. It has antibacterial properties as well as vitamins that will help heal your skin.

Lemon- Fresh lemon juice applied to your scar twice daily will help tone your skin and the citric acid will help erase the scars. You can apply it to your scar for 15 minutes and then rinse with warm water.

Cucumber Juice- Can be applied twice daily with a cotton ball. You do not have to rinse.

Fresh Tomato Juice- Apply it to your scars twice daily. Tomato juice is excellent for acne and also very rejuvenating.

Vitamin E Oil- Can be applied twice daily to help get rid of your scars.

Egg Whites- Apply the egg whites on your scar leave it on for 20 minutes, then rinse with warm water.

Which Hazel and Lavender- Purchase a small bottle, mix in 2 drops of Lavender Oil, mix together well. Apply it to your scars. This is also great for surgical scars and marks.

Rosehip Seed Oil- Massage it on your scar for 2 minutes. You do not have to rinse. This can be done twice daily.

Want Beautiful Hands And Strong Nails Naturally?

Our hands and nails are tools for us, that's why it is important to keep them healthy.

Not only is it important to take care of your hands on the outside, also it is important to take care of your body from the inside in order to have strong and healthy nails.

Sometimes it's hard for us to keep our nails healthy. We do things such as, washing dishes, laundry and even washing our hair without protecting our nails, which causes nails to become weak and tear.

To protect our nails from breakage or damage there are a few things we should do. Below are some natural ways to keep your nails healthy, growing and strong while providing care to your hands as well:

-  Make sure to wear rubber gloves when doing dishes, laundry or washing your hair,
   to protect your nails from tearing.

-  Consume foods that have plenty of Vitamins A, B, C, D and E.

-  Eat foods such as Apples, Garlic, Salmon, Tuna, Cucumbers, Nuts,
   Carrots, and Whole Grains.

-  File your nails to keep them evenly trimmed, and let your nails breathe
   for a few days in between applying finger nail polish.

For nail growth it helps to rub fresh garlic on your nails for 5 minutes twice a week.You can get the smell off your hands by using a good scented soap and soaking your hands in lemon juice for 5 minutes.

Nail Soak For Nail Strengthening Nails:  Make a mixture of 8 ounces of water, a tablespoon of Aloe Vera juice, 2 ounces of lemon juice or freshly squeezed lemon. Soak your nails for 10 minutes twice a week.

Oils that strengthen, grow, and make your nails healthier are Olive Oil, Castor Oil, Almond Oil, Coconut Oil, Jojoba Oil, Mustard Oil, Vitamin E Oil, and Vitamin A Oil. You can massage these oils on your nails and cuticles twice a day, morning and night. This also softens your cuticles and keeps your nails moist.

To exfoliate your hands you can mix together 2 teaspoons of Sea Salt and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. Apply the mixture to your hands, scrub it for 5 minutes with your hands or a toothbrush. Rinse your hands. You can do this twice a week.

For soft and healthy looking hands mix 1 teaspoon of honey and 1 tablespoon of Olive Oil. Massage the mixture on your hands and nails. Cover your hands with either plastic bags or plastic gloves and let it stay for 15 minutes and then rinse.
