Skin tags, age spots, moles, and clogged pores are the most common skin issues that affect both sexes. They are usually a result of unhealthy lifestyle, genetics, hormonal imbalances, etc.

There are numerous products on the market which promise to treat these issues, but they often contain harsh chemicals which irritate the skin and cause other adverse effects.

Therefore, we advise you to always choose natural, non-toxic solutions for good skin care. These are the most effective ones you can use:

Dark Spots

Dark spots, or age spots, are discolored skin patches on the hands, face, and forearms, and affect middle-aged or elder people. They might also be caused by sun exposure.

Here are some natural ways to eliminate them:

– Onion

Apply some onion juice on the dark spot and leave it to act for 15 minutes. Rinse and repeat daily.

– Horseradish

Mix some vinegar and horseradish, and apply the mixture on the dark spot. Repeat daily.

– Lemon

Soak a cotton ball in some freshly squeezed lemon juice, and rub it on the area twice a day.

– Aloe Vera

Apply some fresh aloe Vera gel on the dark spot and leave it to act for half an hour.

– Vitamin C Serum

Organic, non-toxic, vitamin C serums contain topically active vitamin C, so they effectively remove dark spots and repair damaged skin.

Skin Tags

Skin tags are skin growths which appear on the entire body, especially on the neck, upper chest, eyelids, and armpits. They are caused by the rubbing of skin against skin or clothes, and they cause skin irritations, or skin infections if accidentally scratched.

Here are some natural ways to eliminate them:

– Apple Cider Vinegar

Soak a cotton ball in some vinegar, and pat the skin tag. Leave the cotton ball to act for a while. The skin tag will eventually darken and fall off in several days.

– Tea Tree Oil

Add a few drops of tea tree oil in some water, and soak a cotton ball in it. Then, pat it on the skin and use a bandage to secure it. Repeat daily for a month. This is the safest method for removing the skin tags around the eyes.

– Castor Oil and Baking Soda

Mix them to create a paste, and apply it on the area of the skin tag. Secure it with a bandage, and repeat twice or three times daily. The paste can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Warts

Warts are caused by HPV or human papilloma virus and are conventionally treated with freezing or salicylic acid.

Here are some natural ways to eliminate them:

– Apple Cider Vinegar

Soak a cotton ball in vinegar and apply it on the wart, securing it with a bandage. Leave it until the next morning, and replace it with a new one. Finally, it will dry up and fall off.

– Garlic

You can remove warts with garlic juice or crushed garlic in 15 days. Simply rub some crushed garlic on the wart and secure it with a Band-Aid. Leave it to act until the next morning. Repeat every night. You can also apply garlic juice on the wart on a daily basis.

– Raw, Organic Honey

Rub some honey on the wart and secure it with a bandage to act during the night.

– Banana

Rub the wart with the inner part of the banana peel every night before going to sleep for 15 days.

Moles

Moles are usually a result of sun exposure and genetics and affect people of all ages.

Here are some natural ways to eliminate them:

– Apple Cider Vinegar

Soak a cotton ball in apple cider vinegar and apply it directly on the place. Secure it with a bandage and leave it to act for a few hours. This will make the mole fall off gradually.

– Garlic

Apply crushed garlic or garlic extract to the mole, secure it with a bandage, and leave it to act for 4 hours. Repeat daily. You can protect the surrounding skin with petroleum jelly or masking tape since garlic can be too strong and irritate the skin.

– Baking Soda and Castor Oil

Mix these ingredients to make a paste and apply it on the mole. Cover with a bandage and leave it until the next morning. Then, rinse, and repeat the same procedure in the evening.

Clogged Pores

Clogged pores are common in the case of oily skin, as they are caused by the excessive production of sebum. If left untreated, they grow in size and can be painful.

Here are some natural ways to eliminate them:

-Steaming

Wash the face and steam it over a pot of freshly boiled water for 15 minutes. You should cover the head with a towel to get the best effects. Then, wash the face with warm water a few times, and apply some apple cider vinegar to eliminate any extra debris.

-Sugar Scrub

Mix some sugar and lemon to create a paste, and rub it on the skin using an organic cotton washcloth in circular motions before washing the face.
