"Harness the power of nature to address common skin concerns safely and effectively."
1. Age Spots (Sun Spots or Liver Spots)
Causes:
Age spots result from prolonged sun exposure and aging, leading to melanin buildup in certain areas.
Natural Remedies:
Lemon Juice:
Apply fresh lemon juice to the spots with a cotton ball.
Leave for 10–15 minutes and rinse off.
Tip: Use sunscreen afterward as lemon juice increases photosensitivity.
Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV):
Mix equal parts ACV and water. Apply to spots daily.
Acetic acid helps lighten pigmentation over time.
Aloe Vera Gel:
Apply pure aloe vera gel directly to the spots twice daily.
Contains antioxidants that promote healing and skin renewal.
2. Moles
Causes:
Moles are clusters of pigmented cells that may develop over time due to sun exposure or genetic factors.
Natural Remedies:
Garlic Paste:
Crush a garlic clove into a paste, apply it to the mole, and cover it with a bandage.
Leave for several hours daily for a week.
Caution: Avoid applying garlic to broken skin as it may cause irritation.
Apple Cider Vinegar:
Soak a cotton ball in ACV and secure it to the mole with a bandage.
Leave on for 1–2 hours daily until the mole fades.
3. Skin Tags
Causes:
Skin tags are harmless growths that often occur in areas of friction, like the neck, armpits, or eyelids.
Natural Remedies:
Tea Tree Oil:
Apply a few drops of diluted tea tree oil (with a carrier oil) to the skin tag.
Repeat 2–3 times daily. It may dry out and fall off in a week.
Banana Peel:
Place a small piece of banana peel (inside facing the tag) over the skin tag and secure with a bandage.
The enzymes help shrink the tag over time.
Apple Cider Vinegar:
Dab ACV on the skin tag using a cotton ball and cover it with a bandage.
Repeat daily until it naturally detaches.
