Acne is a common skin problem many people suffer from, and there are loads of different producs out there which claim they can help get rid. Instead of spending money on harsh chemicals, why not try the natural approach?

1. Apple Cider Vinegar – Mix up some unfiltered apple cider vinegar and fresh water, and then apply on your face with a cotton ball after you have washed your face. Leave overnight and then wash off. Great for your skin as it balances the pH whilst also making it harder for bacteria to have fun.
2. Cinammon and Honey Mask – Mix 2 tablespoons of honey with 1 table spoon of cinnamon and create this killer combo of a mask. Rinse your face with water and dry, then apply the mask to your face. Leave it on for 15 minutes and wash thoroughly.

Are you looking to try out a homemade facial scrub? We recommend making an oatmeal scrub. Nice and simple, plus great for your skin.

All you need to make the scrub, is a tablespoon of oatmeal, three tablespoons of warm water and then wait 10 minutes until the oats are soft.

Before you apply, make sure your face is clean. Then massage your face with the oatmeal mixture for 2 minutes (avoiding the eyes). This will help to exfoliate your skin. After the 2 minutes are up, rinse off with warm water and then cold water straight after. This is recommended, as the cold water will help to close the pores which were open previously.

If you’re suffering from bags/dark circles from under your eyes, then this article may be for you. There are many causes of under-eye bags, be it a lack of sleep, bad habits, allergies or even natural effects of aging. The one thing you can do though, is try different treatments to help combat this.

Soothing your eyes with something cool can help a lot of the time. So we would recommend placing cucumbers over your eyes as they will sooth the area. Make sure to refrigerate beforehand.

Another great item to use are teabags, as they contain tanning which helps ease down the eye-bags. You have to place the teabags in boiling water first and then place them on a plate, allowing them to cool down. Once cool, place over each eye and let them sit for 10 minutes. Your eyes should feel much fresher, whilst also looking rejuvenated.

A common problem many of us suffer from (some without realising) are dark elbows. This usually happens due to dead skin cells and sun exposure. If you’re wanting to lighten your elbows, then we’re here to help!

The most popular natural treatment for dark elbows is treating them with lemon juice. The citric acid in lemon juice is a natural bleaching agent, helping to lighten the skin tone. It’s a simple treatment too. All you have to do is cut a large lemon in half, squeeze a bit of the juice to help make two hollow lemon halves. Rub the lemon cups over your elbows and then allow the lemon juice to act for 3 hours. Wash off the juice with warm water and then moisturise, as lemon juice is drying. If you repeat this daily, you should see a massive difference within 3 weeks.
