There is a lot of pressure to have flawless skin. While doctors offer effective treatments, natural remedies can be affordable with fewer side effects. Always monitor your skin and consult a doctor if issues persist.
Age Spots
Age spots result from sun damage. Prevention is key — use SPF 30 sunscreen daily. Remedies include apple cider vinegar, which “may lighten skin pigmentation,” and aloe vera, whose “aloin is a natural depigmentation compound.” Green tea extract and licorice creams also help.
Skin Tags
Skin tags are harmless growths. Avoid cutting them yourself. Tea tree oil, a “brilliant antifungal and antiviral agent,” can dry them out. At-home freezing kits are also effective.
Warts
Warts stem from HPV infections. Apple cider vinegar burns infected skin, while bee propolis promotes healing. Duct tape may also help by gradually removing the wart.
Blackheads
Blackheads form from oil and dead skin. Use salicylic acid to break down clogged pores. Clay and charcoal masks draw out impurities. Baking soda mixed with water can gently exfoliate.
Natural remedies can be effective but may take longer. If irritation occurs or the problem persists, seek medical advice.
