Beauty at the Lake10 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

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

3. Tea Tree Oil & Witch Hazel

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.

8. Egg Whites
