​Considered as one of the most beautiful flowers in the world, we always correlate roses to different notions of beauty and love. But much more than that, they offer enhancing benefits that do wonders on the skin. Chamomile and roses are commonly used in beauty products. It gives off a cooling sensation, gentle on the skin, and has anti-inflammatory perks. On the other hand, honey and oats have long been used to soothe skin, cleanse pores, and exfoliate skin.

First things first, you must gather the following supplies:

​

• Dry roses (1 tbsp.)
• Dry chamomile (1 tbsp.)
• Oats (1 tbsp.)
• Raw Honey (2 tbsp.)
• 1/4 cup of mild oil (almond, olive, or sesame)

Breakouts are a great misery one goes through, but do you know what is even worse? The acne scars. They do not only make the skin look dull but also take ages to leave the skin for good. Leaving the acne scars to disappear themselves is the biggest mistake to do. It is necessary to make efforts to treat these scars for a clearer and smoother skin. It is not impossible to make them disappear. There are some effective remedies for getting rid of your acne scars for good. However, they require consistent use and a little patience. The results appear slow but they definitely worth the wait.
 
Here are some of most effective homemade masks for acne scars that have been famous for ages for their great results:

1. Lemon Mask:

 
Lemon consists of bleaching properties that helps in fading away the scars. Moreover, the vitamin C in lemon also helps to revamp the skin cells completely. Lemon juice is best for lightening the skin. You can use lemon with honey, oats and essential oils to turn it into a more effective mask for the whole skin.
Note: I would recommend you to not go out in the sun with lemon juice on your face. It makes the skin extra sensitive against the sun.
 
Directions:
​
Add two spoons of honey, half cup of lemon juice, two spoons of oats and two drops of tea tree oil in a blender. Blend the mixture well and pour it out into a clean bowl. Apply the mask using a soft brush or finger. Make sure your face is cleansed and dried before you go on applying it to your face. Let it dry for 20 to 30 minutes and then wash the face with a face wash. Moisturize your face a little in the end.

1. Potato Mask:

 
Most of you must be unaware of the many benefits of potato for skin. Potatoes consist of components like potassium and phosphorus that great help in lightening the scars. Moreover, the anti-oxidants also revamp the skin cells making the skin healthier and more glowing.
 
Directions:
​
Take one potato and cut into halves. Take one half and grate it. Add some milk to the pulp and mix it well. Apply the pulpy mixture to your skin and let it dry for at least 15 minutes. Scrub it off the skin and wash your face in the end.

1. Orange Peel Mask:

 
Just like oranges benefit the skin when you eat them, they are also super effective when applied externally.  Oranges are full of vitamin C that is best for rebuilding the cells of the skin and removing the dull and scarred layer of the skin.
 
Directions:
​
Take two peels of oranges and start making the mask while eating the oranges. Grind the peels with milk and some tea tree oil. Take the paste out in a bowl and apply it all over your face. Leave it on your skin for about 30 minutes. Then do a little scrubbing on the skin and wash your face in the end. Do not forget to apply tad bit of moisturizer on the skin when done.

1. Egg White Mask:

 
Egg whites have capability to reduce the production of sebum on the skin which helps it to get clearer by the time. Moreover, the proteins and vitamins present in egg whites help in killing the bacteria that causes acne and also removes the dead skill cells which leads the scars to fade away.
 
Directions:

​Take two egg whites and blend them well. Take a tissue paper and start making layers of mask by applying egg whites on the skin and then sticking tissue paper to it. Then apply more whites on the tissue to turn into a hard mask. This way, it will not only help to fade the scars but also unclog your pores and remove all the dirt and blackheads with all the peeling.

​

Acne or pimples are common skin condition that affects people of any age, although they are more common in teenagers and young adults. Acne are formed when the follicle that carries the dead skin cells on the surface of the skin, becomes clogged. Most often, the acne are inflammatory, but they can be developed as non-inflammatory as well. They appear as small pimples, papules, nodules (lumps) or cysts, according to the growing weight of their shape.

Acne usually appear during the puberty, because that is the period of significant hormonal changes in the organism. They are also common in women during the monthly hormonal changes.

They affect those skin areas that have the greatest number of sebaceous glands. Therefore, they are primarily visible on the face, chest, back, forearms and shoulders.

The acne usually disappear when the inflammation is gone, and the clogged pores calm down. They appear less often in the early twenties, because the hormonal levels become balanced. However, in rare cases, there will be a need of a doctor (dermatologist) for the treatment of the acne that are very persistent. In addition, since each person is physiologically different, the acne can appear until the late thirties and forties.

Although the acne are not a serious danger to the health, they can leave scars. The acne scars can sometimes be very persistent and may never completely disappear. They can also leave psychological effects, since the acne and the scars are generally considered unattractive, and this can lead to a lower self-esteem in teenagers and young adults.

What causes acne?

There are many causes for acne, and there are still a lot of studies about that. Some of the common causes of acne are:

• The hormonal changes that occur at the beginning of puberty or during pregnancy can lead to clogged pores.
• For women and girls, during the menstrual cycle there is excessive production of acne on the skin.
• When women suddenly start or stop taking birth control pills, this may cause the formation of acne as well.
• Genetics.
• Stress.

There is a belief that the chocolate and greasy foods contribute to the development of acne, but it has not been scientifically proven.

Natural Acne and Pimples Home Remedies

In addition to the conventional treatment, many people use the natural remedies in the fight against the acne. The natural remedies become more popular because generally, they are a lower risk of side effects, especially for the sensitive skin.

Here are some common natural acne home remedies:

Toothpaste

First, you should wash your face to remove all the dirt. When you finish the washing, you should gently pat your face with a towel to dry it, because if you rub the face, you will transfer the bacteria from the pimples to the rest of the skin. The next step is to apply small amount of toothpaste on the pimples and leave it until the morning. The paste will dry out the pimples and accelerate their disappearance.

Ice

The ice is another excellent way to get rid of the pimples during the night. The ice will help to improve the blood circulation in the area affected by pimples.

How does it work? This fast cure will freeze the pores and remove all the dirt and excess oil. We suggest you to use it 3 times a day if you want to get rid of the pimples fast. This will help to reduce the inflammation.

Honey

Honey is one of the best remedies against acne. It is a natural antibiotic that will help to prevent infection and speed up the healing process of the acne. We suggest you to put some honey on a cotton swab, and then gently rub the affected area. Let it sit for about 30 minutes, and then rinse it with warm water.

Lemon Juice

The lemon is natural bleach. Vitamin C in the lemon helps to restore the collagen. When you use lemon juice, your scars are brighter and the redness of the inflamed pimples is reduced. You should use fresh lemon juice instead of bottled one.

Take a cotton swab and dip it in the freshly squeezed lemon juice. Then apply it to the affected area and leave it during the night. In the morning, there will be a pleasant surprise waiting for you!

Here is a recipe for a lemon juice mask for acne scars:

Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp almond oil
• 2 tbsp milk

You should apply this on the scars once a day, for about 7-10 days. You will see the difference. After applying lemon juice, you should not expose yourselves to the sun.

Garlic

Although it may seem surprising, the garlic is an excellent natural remedy that will help you to get rid of the acne. Rich in sulfur, the garlic will accelerate the process of drying and it will cure the pimples.

Cut a fresh clove of garlic in half and gently rub it on the pimples. After 5 minutes, wash the skin with warm water. You will get amazing results.

Advice: You may want to do this treatment before going to sleep, because the strong smell of garlic can stay on your skin for hours after you apply it.

Egg White

The egg whites are also incredible natural remedy that will help you to get rid of acne.

All you need to do is to separate the egg white from the yolk, whip it briefly, and then apply the mixture on the skin that is affected with acne or pimples. You should keep it like that until the next morning when you need to remove it with warm water. Your skin will be fresh and bright, and you will feel much better.

Lavender Oil

The lavender oil is another effective remedy for acne. It will help to ease the inflammation of the skin, and you will get rid of the pimples until the next morning.

You should apply the lavender oil on your skin before going to bed. The next morning, your skin will look healthier.

Steam

The steam is your answer to the problem with acne. It will help to open the pores and remove the dirt and excess oil.

Pour hot water into a bowl and put you head over it, so that your face comes into contact with the steam (do not put your head too close because you can burn yourselves). It would be good to put a thin towel over your head and direct all the steam to the face. Then, wash your face with warm water and a product for cleaning of the skin and then apply a moisturizer.

Thyme Tincture

Put the thyme in alcohol for a week. This process will draw the healing ingredients from it! Then use the liquid to regularly clean your face and eliminate those horrible acnes.

Sea Salt

Boil 2 dl of water for a short time and add 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt. Use this solution (with the help of cotton pads) to clean your face several times a day. It will help to dry the existing pimples fast and the skin will become less oily and therefore, less prone to the formation of new pimples.

Baking Soda

The baking soda acts as a gentle exfoliant on your skin. It unclogs the pores and removes the dead skin. It also helps to regulate the pH balance of the skin and it has mild anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties. All these features make it the perfect home remedy for the elimination of acne.

– Mix one or two teaspoons of baking soda with a little water and apply it on the skin. Wash it off after a few minutes.

– Also, you can mix two tablespoons of baking soda, one teaspoon of cinnamon powder, juice of half a lemon, and five tablespoons of honey. Apply this on your face and wash it after five minutes.

You should apply baking soda on the skin once or twice a week.

Apple Cider Vinegar

This is an old and proven natural remedy against acne and pimples. Boil 1/2 liter of water for a short time, when it is completely cool you should add 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar. Use this solution and, with the help of cotton pads, apply it on your face every night (if it is necessary, apply it on other areas of the body). The apple cider vinegar prevents the growth of bacteria thanks to its antiseptic properties.

Propolis

This is another simple, but effective natural remedy against acne if you apply the propolis on the affected area of ​​the skin several times a day. A similar effect is achieved if you use a mixture of honey and propolis.

Honey and Cinnamon

The Eastern nations recommend a mixture of honey and cinnamon for the treatment of acne and pimples. You should apply it on the affected areas, once a day before going to bed.

Aloe Vera

This plant has proven its great effect in the treatment of many skin diseases, and the acne and pimples are on this list as well. The process is not complicated. Apply the fresh juice from the aloe leaves or aloe vera gel on the acne several times a day.

The evidence suggests that the aloe vera may be effective in the treatment of minor skin infections, burns, cuts, as well as sebaceous cysts.

Cucumber

The mask of fresh cucumber cleans the face and soothes the inflammation of the skin, and it is also recommended in the fight against pimples and acne.

Papaya

The juice of raw papaya in the form of a face mask. You should apply it with a cotton pad.

Marigold

It is known that this plant has an antiseptic effect, it is part of many pharmaceutical products for treatment of the skin and skin care. For the treatment of acne, the traditional medicine recommends to wash your face with marigold tea twice a day (in the morning and in the evening).

Walnut Leaves

It is also good to wash your face with tea of ​​walnut leaves.


Wild oregano for pimples on the face

The most effective herbal antiseptic in the nature will accelerate the process of the elimination of pimples and acne. All you need to do is to put a few drops of oil of wild oregano in the facial cleanser.

The chamomile and the marigold eliminate the small pimples on the face

Mix one tablespoon of dried chamomile and one tablespoon of marigold with 2 dl of boiling water, cover it and let it sit for at least 3 hours and then strain it. Before you go to bed, soak a cotton pad in the tea and tap your face with it for at least 15 minutes. Let it dry and wash it in the morning. Repeat this for 15 days.

Yeast mask against pimples on the face

This is a great mask against pimples on your face: Mix a tablespoon of fresh yeast with a little warm water to get a dense paste and apply it on a clean face. Keep it until the mask is completely dry, and then wash your face with warm chamomile tea. Repeat this for at least one week.

Parsley for the face

Pour 2 dl of boiling water over one tablespoon of ground fresh parsley and leave it covered for half an hour. Then add 1 dl of white wine and let it sit covered for another half hour. Strain it, soak a cotton pad in it and gently apply it on the whole face. Keep it for at least an hour and wet your face all the time. Then wash it with warm water. You can keep the unused lotion in the refrigerator for several days.

Tea Tree Oil

Another popular remedy against acne is the tea tree oil. This oil acts as an antiseptic and it disinfects the pores. In addition, it kills the bacteria that cause acne. You should apply one drop of tea tree oil to the affected area, three times a day.

If the use of undiluted tea tree oil causes skin irritation, redness and excessive drying then, you should use the 5% solution of tea tree oil.

Mask of aspirin and honey to remove the pimples and scars

Although the aspirin is not a natural ingredient, you can always use it with honey. Salicylic acid in the aspirin does wonders and its persistent texture gives a perfect peeling.

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp honey
• 2-3 aspirins
• A few drops of water

Put an aspirin in a few drops of water in order to dissolve it. Do not use too much water because you can lose the texture for peeling. Add the honey and stir the paste. Apply it on the scars and keep it for 15 minutes, then wash it.

Orange Peel

The acidic properties and the vitamin C contained in the oranges make it perfect for the treatment of acne. You can use the orange juice as well as its peel, but the peel is generally more efficient.

Here is how to prepare it: Put the orange peel in the sun and let it dry completely. Grind the dried peel into powder and add water to make the mixture. Apply the mixture to the affected area and keep it for 10 to 15 minutes. Then wash your face with warm water.

Teas against pimples and acne (for internal use)

Nettle Tea

The nettle tea cleans the organism successfully, so it can eliminate some internal reasons for the occurrence of acne. For this cause, they recommend to drink about 1 liter of tea, continuously throughout the day.

Green Tea

For similar reasons, to fight against acne and pimples, the green tea is very useful as a powerful antioxidant and it will be enough to drink two cups of this tea a day.

Tea of Thistle and Yarrow against acne

Mix 3 tablespoons of ground thistle roots and a tablespoon of yarrow leaves and flowers, then pour 7 dl of boiling water and leave it covered for 120 minutes. Strain it and drink a cup of it before breakfast, lunch and dinner. The treatment of pimples on the face lasts for 5 days.

What to eat?

In order to get rid of the pimples and acne, you should not eat food that is too spicy and too greasy, refined oils, sauces, ketchup, mayonnaise, chips, fatty meat and meat products, full-fat cheese, sweets, snacks and fast food, as well as coffee and sodas. You should eat whole grains, low fat dairy products and a lot of fruits and vegetables, because they contain plenty of dietary fiber. This is true especially if you have small red pimples on the face, but also for all other types of pimples.

You should drink at least one liter of water a day and avoid industrial juices because they are full of additives, colors and artificial sweeteners. In the diet, you should include foods that are rich in calcium, phosphorus, potassium, chromium, sulfur, selenium, zinc and vitamins A, B, C and PP.

The calcium can be found in the dairy products, fruits and vegetables. The fish, cheese and eggs are rich in phosphorus, and the peas, beans and soy are rich in chromium. You can compensate for the lack of potassium by regular consumption of raisins, prunes and cabbage, while vitamins A, B, C and PP are contained in the milk, tomatoes, lemons, peppers, liver, saltwater fish, carrots, cranberries, rose hips and cabbage.

The dark side of time is that it is merciless and does not forgive – your age is something you cannot just hide. Even if you can appear younger, it takes a lot of effort and money, and still you might not be satisfied with the results. One of the safest and easiest ways to save your good looks is to live a healthy life and have healthy habits, the easiest of which would be clean eating. Some foods are like magic, and they will help your skin recover and look fresh after a long day (or even a long year). You don’t have to spend thousands of dollars on expensive treatments, simply turn to good old nature for help.

Beautiful skin

Having clear and fresh skin means a lot when you are not in your twenties anymore, but it is also more difficult to achieve. Nutrient deficiency and inflammation can cause our skin to become dry and blemishes can appear. Paleo diet can help your skin restore its freshness and reduce inflammation simply by steering you away from foods which cause inflammation, like canola, corn, and soybean. By eliminating Omega-6 fat which is found in industrial fat, your skin will recover and restore its glow. 

If you want to speed up the recovery process, try making healthy Paleo masks of yoghurt, honey, and strawberries which your skin will simply love.

Of course, there is no magic ingredient which is going to make your visage improve over night, but professionals noted that certain vitamins and minerals are lacking in people with skin and hair problems. This is the reason why you should work on adding more vitamins A, C, and D, and also zinc. This means that you should not avoid liver, egg yolks, shellfish, pumpkin seeds, and broccoli. Citrus fruit and strawberries are also very important, so feel free to add more fruit salads to your diet.  
Rhinoplasty professionals in Sydney also recommend this nutrition preventive of aging and they say: ''The skin is the largest organ after all, so diet directly affects how you visibly age. Focus on what you put in your body as much as on what you put on your skin.''

Now that we’ve got covered the skincare from the inside it’s time to step up the game on the outside. Finding products that are fully organic and free of chemicals can be difficult, but not impossible. You can opt for organic skin care like cucumber juice facial cleansing foam or treat yourself with homemade avocado smoothie. And no, you’ll not eat it, but apply it on your face, wait for 15 minutes, and then enjoy the view. When you are not in kitchen mixing up all kinds of natural masks, but in quest for organic products, make sure you read the labels well (even the tiny letters too), and search for products with broccoli (presence of dietary fiber, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants), cucumbers, mint (anti-inflammatory and soothing), etc.

We hope you are ready to green up, from the inside and the outside. When you see the results, you won’t regret it.

I've been searching high and low for some basic DIY soap recipes and came across this fantastic article from Elephant Journal containing a step by step recipe and a guide to essential oils.

How does Coconut Whipped Body Butter sound?   instead of buying expensive creams you can make your own natural creams using anti-aging oils.   This article contains some great recipes.   

I never use hand sanitizers made from chemicals, they are very toxic and contain tricolsan,
a very hazardous chemical to your health and damaging to the eco-system.   Overuse of these chemically filled antibacterial products can also weaken your immune system.  Stick to soap and water and natural hand sanitizers.
