2 Natural Blemish Remedies

Blemishes as the word say can give nightmares to many.No matter how much we try and take care of our skin and our looks,this can be a trouble for anyone who cares enough about their skin and it can happen to any age group of people and occur anywhere on the body.

Blemish is also called as a minor skin imperfection and can be caused by pimple/acne/blackhead or whitehead.When these skin imperfection are not treated properly or when they stay prolonged on your skin they tend to leave blemishes on skin.Blemishes can be flat,raised off form skin and appear in various colors(red,black and brown).
Common types of blemish include marks left by-

1. Acne
2. Age spots
3. Scars
4. Uneven skin tone

Though preventing blemishes from occurring is quite next to impossible and difficult.However having said that we can take precautions from letting blemish occur again and also by using certain natural remedies we can treat blemish to an extent.As per my own experience I have used these remedies to get rid of my blemishes as I don't like to use a blemish balm to conceal my blemish rather I like to use them as a substitute for foundations and other similar stuff.

•  Orange peel contains a lot of vitamin C and can be used to lighten the blemishes on skin naturally.Take 1 tablespoon of orange peel powder,to this add the juice of a 1/2 a lemon and a teaspoon of rosewater to make a paste.Apply this paste on the affected areas to improve skin texture and remove blemishes.This remedy is also useful for dark & black spots.Use this pack twice a week to see faster results.Can be used for all skin types.

• Camphor has long been known for its properties that help ease headaches.However, camphor also has the ability to lighten blemishes.Take about 7 parts of camphor extract,to it add two parts of almond extract and 1 part of sandalwood powder.Dilute this mixture with 30 parts of rose water and pour this solution in a clean glass bottle and store it in the refrigerator.Using a ball of cotton soaked in this liquid,rub it on your entire face every morning to get rid of blemishes and other stubborn spots on face.

Also what I researched and found out from my doc(dermatologist) was that for any type of blemish to disappear we need to keep them moist and hydrated and this would result in faster healing and fading of blemishes and spots.So the best way is to apply unflavoured white petroleum jelly or Vaseline to our blemishes and spots as many times a day we can.And you will be amazed with some astonishing results!!

Note- to make almond extract take 6 skinless almond (for 1 cup of extract) and 4 cups/32 tablespoons or 1 pint of vodka.Chop or slice almonds and place almonds and vodka in a tight lid glass jar and keep it in a cool dark place for a month.Shake it once a day for a month and you get homemade almond extract.

Camphor extract is same as the camphor extract powder you get in some stores.
