10 Natural Skin Remedies We Can't Live Without

When it comes to skin issues, we certainly operate with empathy and compassion.

We also choose natural solutions as often as possible!

There are so many solutions on the market for treating skin issues, serums, pills, masks, and creams, but most result in overly dried out and increasingly irritated skin.

Natural acne remedies work the best, especially on sensitive, acne-prone skin.

This list contains remedies that heal acne scars and blemishes and get at the root of the cause. They have antibacterial properties that cleanse the skin, as well as anti-inflammatory properties, and antioxidants that kill free radicals and encourage new skin growth.

1. Baking Soda

• Reduce acne

• Brighten skin

• Reduce redness & swelling

• Prevent the buildup of bacteria

• Balance your skin’s pH

• Encourage new skin growth

Mix baking soda with water to create a paste, or simply rub it into your skin like you would using a face wash, and then rinse it off.

2. Honey

• Nourish damaged skin

• Cleanse your pores

• Hydrate your Skin

• Soothe and heal blemishes

3. Tea Tree Oil & Witch Hazel

• Calm redness, swelling, and inflammation

Tea tree oil and witch hazel can still dry out your skin, so be careful not to overuse it and try to stay out of the sun if you apply it to your face.

Blend a few drops of tea tree oil with 20 to 40 drops of witch hazel to dilute it and use it on your face, one to two times a day.

4. Turmeric

Make a paste with 2 tablespoons of turmeric powder and ¼ cup water and apply it to your face, leaving it for five minutes.

You can mix it with water, honey, or an oil of your choice, and apply it to your skin for glowing results.

Leave the gel on overnight to detox your skin and improve blood circulation.

7. Apple Cider Vinegar

Mix it with water to create a toner (use a higher ratio of water if you have sensitive skin) and apply it with a cotton pad to a clean face.

8. Egg Whites

If you have sensitive skin, always test the remedy first on a small area of skin. Everyone is different and just because something works for one person doesn’t mean it will work for someone else.
