Good skincare is the best
way to avoid acne, blemishes and dark spots. It takes work and dedication to
stick to your routine and maintain good skincare. Jumia Travel shares 8
skin-clearing remedies that will not only help you maintain good skin care, but
are simple enough to implement routinely.
Mixture
of Raw Honey and Brown Sugar
Mix 1 tablespoon of raw
honey with 1 tablespoon of brown sugar in a small bowl. Mix them together well
and then store in a glass jar with an airtight lid. The mixture should be kept
at room temperature. Before you apply the mixture to your skin, wash your face
well. Apply ½ tablespoon of the scrub to your wet skin. Gently massage the
mixture in a circular motion and avoid getting it in your eyes. When you are
done with the scrub, rinse your face with lukewarm water and pat dry with a
towel. This remedy helps to remove dark spots.
Note that you should be
careful with this remedy and use sparingly, as it can have a bleaching effect
on the skin when it’s overdone.
Aloe
Vera
This is a highly
nutritious plant that does wonders for the skin. It is easy to grow and is
attractive enough to be used as a decorative item in your home. Aloe Vera is
succulent; therefore it stores a lot of water within its leaves and only needs
to be watered at least two or three times a month. Buying a potted aloe vera
plant is also easy and rather inexpensive.
Use aloe vera regularly to
reduce inflammation, and prevent bacteria from affecting your acne. Also, rub
aloe vera on dark spots once or twice daily to reduce hyperpigmentation and
clear dark spots.
Vitamin
E
Purchase liquid vitamin E.
Dab the liquid onto the dark spots on your face. If you don’t have liquid
vitamin E, buy vitamin E capsules. Open the capsules and mix with little water
until a thin liquid is formed. This remedy provides the skin with plenty
antioxidants to help even your skin tone.
Sweet
Organic Honey
First, rinse your face
with warm water. Then, take a spoonful of organic honey and spread evenly on
your face. Leave it on your face for 30 minutes, and then rinse with warm
water. This brings a glow to your skin and helps to prevent acne.
Jojoba
Oil
This is an effective
natural moisturizer. You can use a pipette to drop 5 to 6 drops of the oil on a
cotton ball, then dab on your acne. The oil doesn’t clog your pores; rather it
works to improve your natural oil balance.
Cucumber
Cucumbers have nourishing,
hydrating and astringent properties that help improve the overall appearance of
the skin by repairing damaged skin cells, removing dead skin cells and adding a
fresh glow to your skin. It helps to prevent acne and black spots.
To apply, you first cut a
fresh cucumber into thick slices and then rub thoroughly all over your face.
Leave it on overnight and rinse with warm water in the morning. You should try
to do this daily before going to bed.
Apple
Cider Vinegar (ACV)
Purchase a bottle of apple
cider vinegar, then mix equal parts of water and apple cider vinegar together.
Soak a cotton ball in the mixture and apply on your face in a circular motion.
Leave it on overnight and wash the area preferably with warm water in the morning.
You should try to do this every night before going to bed. The acids present in
the ACV exfoliate dead skin cells and reveals a fresh and healthy layer of skin
cells. ACV is also an astringent and prevents your pores from getting infected
and inflamed.
Egg
white and lemon mask
Gather and beat 1 egg
white until it becomes frothy. Add juice from ½ a lemon to your egg white, and
then mix together. Apply the mask to your face and leave on for 30 minutes.
Gently rinse it off with warm water and apply a moisturizer on your skin.
Egg white helps to tighten
your pores and remove built up dirt from your skin. Lemon not only exfoliates
but brightens your skin, so you should therefore use sparingly to temper its
bleaching effects. Lemon is also a good
source of alpha hydroxyl acids and vitamin C. Vitamin C helps to reduce hyper
production of melanin, so aside using lemon for your mask, you should also
consider eating food with high vitamin C content.
