I'm a huge fan of at-home remedies and anything natural or organic. I love trying new over-the-shelf products, but most times, start with stuff in the kitchen. Fruits, honey, toothpaste, etc do the trick. I sometimes ditch make-up so a great looking skin is a priority. *wink*

I'll go first.
For those with large pores, instead of spending money on pore-strips (biore), try the egg-white method. I break one egg open, separate the white from the yolk and apply the egg whites lightly over my face, nose, chin and forehead. Place thin tissue paper over your face. Let it dry for about 15 minutes and peel it off. It is supposed to remove all blackheads. You will see white messy stuff all over the tissue.... ewwww. Your face will look better immediately.

To reduce large pores, rub ice cubes on your face. Place the ice cubes gently along your pores for 15 to 30 seconds. This will have a tightening effect on your skin. It's great before applying make-up.

... more to come.

For fuller, thicker and stronger eyebrows and eyelashes,

Mix equal amounts of Argan Oil + Castor oil in a small cup (about .5oz) and apply every other night with a q-tip or eyelash comb. I try to curl the lashes first, comb through with an eyebrow comb and massage the roots. (you can add coconut oil, but it irritates my eyes so I don't use it).

Trust me, it works! I get compliments ...... I dislike false lashes ... looks like a cobweb .... ewww

For smooth lips ~ Try the sugar scrub.

Mix a teeny little bit of honey, vaseline and/or any essential oil and sugar to the back of your hands. Apply to lips and scrub for a few minutes. Rinse. It's great for harmattan or winter months. F.Y.I ~ Vaseline contains petrolatum which 'Au naturels' avoid. Whatever works for you.

For stubborn eczema, try RAW Apple cider vinegar. Its a cheap and effective home remedy for skin problems. Mix vinegar and water (50/50) and splash over your face several times a day.

Yes it does, but it's not suitable for face, use lemon juice instead, just apply it directly on the spot.

To get lemon is kinda difficult. Most times, it's lime that is available

Hello sissie. Since getting lemon is difficult, when I manage to lay my hands on some. . . Is it advisable to squeeze out the juice and store it?

Yes, you can refrigerate the fruit itself or squeeze it and keep it refrigerated.

If you can't get lemon, other fruits like pineapple, Apple, tomatoes, pawpaw also help clear spots, exfoliate, cleans e.t.c
