Teenagers are constantly worried about the way they look. The dilemmas are just endless! Some are worried about their dental structure and should consult a dentist to fix it. Others might not be happy with the way they smile, and should therefore look for a cosmetic dentist. However, there is one problem that keeps nearly every teenager worried, and that is the problem of blemishes. There might be multiple reasons why one may get blemishes on skin. They may show up because of heredity, puberty or just some hormonal imbalance. Moreover, not everyone might get them. Whatever the reason is, the two most effective ways to control them is through a balanced diet and proper hygiene habits. Other than the two cures listed above, they can be cured with the help of homemade remedies. They tend to help you out in nearly everything. Whether it is about house cleaning, or curing common allergies, they have a cure for almost everything. Well, it is time that you involve some remedies in your beauty care as well. Calamine lotion is great medication for your skin. It absorbs oil and removes the blemish. You can rub the calamine lotion onto your skin where the blemish is located. Make sure you are gentle while you do this. Whenever you head out in the sun, do not forget to apply sunscreen on your face. This is applicable to everyone; however, if you have blemishes on your skin, this greatly applies to you. The sun might obstruct the effects of some medication and also make the marks worse. Before going out in the sun, apply sunscreen of SPF 15 (or higher). This will make sure that you are least affected by the sun's rays. A homemade remedy is to mix a pinch of turmeric, some lemon and honey to make a paste. You can apply this paste on your skin regularly. Regular application is going to be very effective in getting rid of blemishes. You might also experience inflammation due to the blemish. A good way to cure this is to use an ice- cube wrapped in a dish towel. Hold this ice-cube on the area for at least 5 minutes. This is going to cool off the area, and will also reduce swelling and redness. Another remedy is to use strawberries with vinegar. Take three strawberries and mash them using a fork. Add enough vinegar to it, to make it into a paste. Before you go to bed, apply this mixture on the affected area. Keep a piece of fabric between your face and the pillow to protect the pillow case. Let the mixture stay overnight, and rinse it off in the morning. There are a lot of homemade remedies that can help you out with blemishes. One thing that you have to keep in mind is that every remedy will take time. You cannot get clear skin overnight. Whatever tonic you choose to apply on your skin will prove to give successful results only if you apply it regularly. Once you get in the habit, it will be easy to say goodbye to the not-so-good-looking blemishes!
