Homemade Mosquito Trap

The Oil Cleansing Method

Clear, glowing, dewy-looking skin, free of blackheads, pimples, cysts, and other imperfections seems to be an elusive goal. The booming skin care industry would have you believe the same with their claims of the need to rid your skin of oil completely and apply burning chemicals in order to avoid these imperfections. Modern society has been so strongly influenced by these marketing claims that some find themselves washing the delicate and easily-inflamed tissue of their facial skin with “grease cutting” or “antibacterial” dish and hand soap only to find that their skin condition worsens. The anxiety that rises when yet another pimple flares up or another painful lump begins forming beneath the skin sends many into overdrive in attempt to counter the impending damage, but does it ever work? Does the panicked scrubbing, disinfecting, and drying ever work? Why is it that if something works for a few days, or if you get lucky, a few weeks, the long term brings the blemishes back? The cycle seems endless. It’s exhausting. It’s painful. It’s embarrassing. It’s expensive!

Baking Soda As A Natural Burn Remedy

Don’t have aloe vera or another burn remedy on hand? Try baking soda, one of the best natural remedies for burns you will find.

Directions:
1. Make a paste with baking soda and water. Be sure the past is wet but thick enough to stay on where you are applying it.
2. Apply the baking soda paste all over the burn.
3. To keep the baking soda moist, put a plastic bag or wrap over the baking soda area.
4. Place a sock over the plastic bag if the burn is on a hand or foot, otherwise find a body-safe tape (cloth or paper medical tape) to affix the plastic bag over the baking soda mixture.
5. You should notice the pain almost completely disappearing from the burn within just a few minutes. Baking soda truly works wonders for burns!
