The beauty of a woman they say, lies in the beauty of her skin. For this reason, dozens of women out there spend their hard-earned salaries on outrageously expensive creams with the hope of getting rid of some pimples, dark spots and other things that diminish the beauty that lies in the skin of black women. The sad aspect is that most of these creams don�t even do a quarter of all the things they are supposed to do. Unfortunately, women tend to believe that the more expensive a cream is, the more efficient it will be at getting rid of dark spots and pimples. One of the ages long most trusted ways of ensuring a beautiful perfect skin is to go the natural way. Here, one only applies nature�s best on their skin, to help them look their best. Here are some trusted natural ingredients that will help you get rid of you pimple and dark spot, navigating you towards a beautiful skin. 1. Watermelon Watermelon is naturally slightly astringent and may be used to benefit your skin�s appearance. Watermelon juice can be mixed with honey for use on dry skin, or with witch hazel for oily skin, or even used by itself as a simple, natural toner. Simply dip a cotton pad in the solution or the pure juice and wipe over your face and neck after cleansing. This will ensure all the cleanser is wiped away and will also help to exfoliate, refresh and tighten your skin. Watermelon juice or pulp can also be added to homemade face masks. 2. Use tea tree oil The natural tea tree oil is great for both hair and skin care. It boasts anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties and feels incredibly soothing on the skin. Plus, the tea tree oil is claimed to work as prescription-strength medications, but make sure you consult your doctor before replacing any prescription medicines with this natural oil. Using the tea tree oil is one of the easiest ways to get perfectly clear skin absolutely naturally. 2. Opt for fresh lemon juice If you don�t have tea tree oil at home, don�t worry, I�m sure you have some lemons in your fridge. Lemon juice can also help you get perfectly clear skin naturally and fast. The thing is, lemons are high in citric acid that fights bacteria-causing acne. If you suffer from acne, apply gingerly fresh lemon juice to the skin and see the result. I suggest mixing in several tablespoons of clear water in order to dilute the acid. 3. Use ice to reduce redness Ice helps constrict the blood vessels around the pimple, which can help diminish the size of it, especially if you�ve just popped it. In fact, popping pimples is not recommended because it can rupture the skin and can easily cause scars. Instead of popping your pimple, use ice. It will help reduce redness and heal your pimple. 4. Aloe Aloe has natural anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. It helps heal the sunburn and is a proven remedy for the redness caused by sunburn. Aloe also helps to fight acne. If you don�t have an aloe plant at home, consider getting it, since the best form of aloe is in its natural state. Apply the fresh, gooey aloe to your face and see your acne disappear. I don�t recommend buying aloe gel that is sold in stores. It�s not natural and doesn�t have any acne-fighting properties; it�s just a waste of money. 5. Eat healthy It�s been proven that cutting out processed foods and refined sugars help fight acne. The point is that processed, junk foods release harmful toxins in your body, so don�t wonder why you have those breakouts if you consume processed food. Start eating clean and you will get perfectly clear skin naturally and in no time! There are so many delicious foods to eat for a perfect skin; you just need to know them. 6. Stay hydrated Water can do wonders for your skin. If you are not getting enough water every day, you may experience low energy levels, dry skin, acne, digestive problems, and joint problems. Water flushes toxins out of your system and helps keep your skin hydrated and clear. Make it a rule to drink plenty of water on a daily basis to keep your skin and body healthy. 7. Salt and water Make a paste of water and salt and apply to your breakouts using a cotton bud. Salt is a great, natural styptic that can help seal pimples and can prevent dirt and bacteria from entering. This remedy also helps reduce the size of pimples and it�s a cheap way to get perfectly clear skin naturally. You see, getting perfectly clear skin is possible without buying all those expensive products. The natural remedies mentioned above are proven to help fight acne and they cost very little and are not harmful to the skin. However, don�t expect your acne to be gone overnight. The effectiveness of the therapy will only be visible if you religiously apply and follow some of these few tips to ensure a healthy clear skin.
