Homemade Tips For A Healthy, Beautiful And Flawless Skin by Nobody: 12:42pm On Jul 30, 2015
Be it male or female, no one likes
rough, patchy or tired-looking
skin. Plus, problems like acne,
blemishes, wrinkles, and enlarged
pores also tend to mar your
beauty.

Although there are numerous
skin care products on the
market that promise to give you
smooth and flawless skin, they
can be expensive and some even
have harsh ingredients that can
damage your skin.
Luckily, your skin can become
smooth and clear with the help
of some readily available natural
ingredients.

Here are the top 10 ways to get
smooth skin.

1. Water
One of the most important
things you can do for smooth
and glowing skin is drink plenty
of water. Your aim should be to
drink 8 to 10 glasses of water a
day. Water helps the body flush
out toxins and waste. However,
avoid sugary drinks, alcohol and
carbonated drinks.
Also try to eat fruits and
vegetables that are high in
water content. Washing your
face at least twice a day with
water will also help improve your
skin’s health and appearance.

2. Lemon Juice
Lemon juice can be used to
cleanse your skin, lighten spots
and scars, as well as soften and
smooth it.
This citrus-rich fruit contains
cleansing enzymes that remove
dead skin cells, leaving your skin
smoother and fresher. With its
excellent astringent properties,
lemon is a great natural cleanser
for people who have oily skin.
To lighten dark spots and
acne marks, you can use fresh
squeezed lemon juice and
apply it to your entire face
and neck. Leave it on for 10
minutes and then rinse it off
with lukewarm water. You can
do this daily or several times
a week.

For soft, smooth skin, mix
lemon juice from half a lemon
and one egg white. Apply it to
your face. Leave it on for 10
minutes and then rinse with
warm water. Repeat once or
twice a week.

3. Tomatoes
Fresh tomato is an excellent
natural skin toner. It can also
help treat pimples and blemishes.
To make your skin soft and
smooth, puree some fresh
tomatoes in a blender or
grinder. Apply the tomato
paste to your face. Leave it
on for 10 minutes and then
wash it off with water. Daily
use can help shrink enlarged
pores and give you smoother,
glowing skin.

You can also use tomato
paste to heal pimples. Apply it
to the affected area and
leave it on for an hour, then
rinse it off.

4. Honey
Honey is another natural
ingredient that you can use to
get smooth skin.
Apply raw honey to your face
and neck, leave it on for
about 10 minutes and then
rinse it off with cold water.
This simple remedy will make
your skin soft and smooth.
Another option is to mix an
egg white with honey and
apply it to your face for 20
minutes. Wash it off with cold
water and a delicate soap to
remove the smell from the
egg white.

You can also make a thick
paste with three teaspoons of
honey and one-half teaspoon
of cinnamon powder. Apply it
to your face and leave it on
overnight. In the morning,
wash it off with lukewarm
water.

5. Tea Tree Oil
Tea tree oil has antibacterial
properties that help fight acne-
causing bacteria. It is also good
for reducing scars and blemishes.
Some people can be allergic to
the oil, so it is highly
recommended to try it first on
your inner wrist area before
applying it to your face.

To heal a pimple quickly,
use a cotton swab to apply
tea tree oil directly on the
affected area every few
hours.

About one hour before
going to bed, apply vitamin
E oil and leave it on
overnight.

6. Aloe Vera
Aloe vera is another wonderful
natural ingredient used in a
number beauty recipes to
maintain smooth and clear skin. It
helps treat acne, fade blemishes
and reduce wrinkles and fine
lines.

Extract the gel from an aloe
vera leaf and apply it on your
skin a few times a week.
Alternatively, combine one
tablespoon of aloe vera gel,
two teaspoons of lemon juice
and one teaspoon of honey.
Apply this mixture on your
face a few times a week.

Her face actually looks flawless.

I have been using some of these remdies like the lemon remedy, I used lime. Also tried the egg white too and tried the honey too, almost a year plus ago. And blv me anyone that sees me always ask why I have such a fresh face, I mean anyone that sees me!

I think using the lemon juice on lips also gives pink lips. That's what I'm experimenting now and its getting brighter bit by bit.
