8 Natural Remedies for Great Skin

We understand that plastic surgery may not be for everybody. However, we also know that many, if not most of us, want to have better skin. While cosmetic procedures do seem to work miracles, there are a number of natural home remedies that you can do to improve the appearance of your skin. Try some today!

  1. Spot treatment with a little lemon: It’s incredibly tempting to pick at a blemish on your face, but really what you are doing is making it worse. The inflammation and soreness that results from a festering pimple end up looking worse than if you would have just left your skin alone. Also, your nails and other blemish treatment tools can seriously damage your skin, albeit on a level that may not be visible to the eye. Instead of squeezing your skin, squeeze some lemon juice and combine it with some water and yeast until it turns into a muddy paste. The lemon helps to dry out your skin while the yeast kills the bacteria from the blemish. Apply the paste with a clean finger to your blemish and cover with a bandage for 10-15 minutes. Rinse with water once complete.
  2. Salads to fight wrinkles: Antioxidants are the new “it” compound of many skin care products. Antioxidants help to increase your circulation and fight against sun damage to your skin. These antioxidants are naturally present in many foods, so why not combine a few of them into a salad that will brighten your skin and fight wrinkles? Combine equal parts blueberries, strawberries, orange or grapefruit juice, and pomegranate seeds with a kiwi or two and a handful of sliced or chopped walnuts.
  3. Lip scrub with coffee beans: Stop biting the dead skin off of your lips and start using this DIY lip scrub made from coffee. Your lips will thank you for it. Combine ½ teaspoon of lotion with ¼ teaspoon of coffee grounds and ¼ teaspoon salt. Massage the mixture into your lips and slough off the dead skin. Wipe the scrub from your lips with a warm and damp washcloth.
  4. Homemade coconut conditioner: Coconut is a popular ingredient in plenty of hair and skin products, and it smells like you’re on vacation in the tropics. Create your own homemade conditioner by combining ½ cup mayonnaise with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil and 1 teaspoon of coconut extract. You should apply the mixture to your wet hair from root to tip, then cover your head with a shower cap or plastic wrap. Leave the conditioner on for about 30 minutes and then rinse it out. The mayonnaise and coconut combination will leave your hair feeling hydrated and smooth – not to mention smelling great!
  5. Create a toner from basil leaves: Store-bought toner can be pretty pungent, but you know that you should be applying it daily before putting on your moisturizer. You can easily create your own homemade toner by crushing dried basil leaves into a cup of boiling water. When the water mixture cools, you can run it through a strainer in order to remove the basil leaves. Then, put the water into a spray bottle so that you can easily spray your skin directly, or spray the toner solution onto a cotton ball or cotton square to apply to your face and neck. This mixture is safe to use at least daily on your skin. The basil leaves serve to kill off bacteria that causes acne, and the water provides needed moisture to your skin.
  6. Anti-aging scrub with agave: We all know that tequila is made from agave, and drinking too much alcohol can wreak havoc on your skin. Now, use that agave for something good! Create a homemade exfoliating hand scrub that fights the age spots that we are prone to getting on our hands over time. Combine ½ cup cooked rice with equal parts agave nectar and lemon juice – about one tablespoon of each. Once the ingredients are blended together, apply the scrub to your hands and exfoliate gently for several minutes. The lemon may help to lighten the age spots while the agave serves as a hydration vehicle to your dry hands. The uncooked rice exfoliates dead skin cells away. The scrub can also be useful for exfoliating calluses on your hands or feet.
  7. Moisturizer made of avocado and honey: I cannot overstate the importance of using moisturizer at least once a day. Your skin needs moisture the way your body needs water. Now, you can make your own moisturizer at home with a little bit of honey and avocado. Place 3 tablespoons of cream, 1 tablespoon of honey, and ¼ avocado into a blender. Once it becomes smooth, smooth it onto your skin and relax for an hour. Rinse it off with lukewarm water, and your skin will feel smoother than ever.
  8. Facial scrub with sugar: You may fear that eating too much sugar causes you to breakout, but creating a facial scrub with sugar may be great for exfoliation and restoring a rejuvenated complexion. The grainy texture of the sugar makes a great scrub, and combined with almonds, you are sure to get a great exfoliator that leaves your skin smelling sweet and fresh. Combine 3 tablespoons of cream, 1 cup white sugar, ½ cup brown sugar, and ½ cup ground almonds. Add in 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and you’ve got yourself a facial scrub. Once the ingredients are sufficiently blended together, apply it to your face like any other scrub. Gently exfoliate in circular motions, and then rinse off with warm water. Give your face a splash of cold water when you’re done rinsing off the scrub, to quickly close your pores. You can refrigerate this scrub for use at a later date, and it should stay good for 1-2 weeks.

    We adhere to very strict safety, sterilization, and infection control protocols at the PARS clinic. Our dedicated and diligent staff members will protect you at all times.

    Can anyone get cosmetic surgery?

    In order to maintain high safety standards, we ask that you complete a thorough medical exam before we begin your procedures. With this approach, we can make sure that you will be as safe as possible. We speak with you about your expectations and goals before assessing your medical history and determining the safest, most effective plan.

    What’s the difference between reconstructive and cosmetic surgery?

    The purpose of cosmetic surgery is to reshape the body to improve self-esteem and create a more ideal self-image. On the other hand, the purpose of reconstructive surgery is to address disfigurement, defects, and other abnormalities. These issues may arise after accidents, surgeries to remove tumors, and things of that nature. Another big difference between these two types of surgery is the fact that cosmetic surgery is rarely covered by health insurance, while reconstructive surgery is usually covered.

    What can I expect when I recover from my cosmetic surgery?

    Your recovery experience depends on a number of factors. First of all, the type of procedure you choose may impact your recovery. Some procedures are less extensive and invasive than others, and you will likely experience an easier recovery period as a result. In addition, different patients recover in different ways. Some may require more or less pain medication than others. Your surgeon can prescribe the correct pain medications to help you overcome any discomfort. The good news is that virtually all facial cosmetic procedures involve easy recovery periods.

    How does Botox work?

    Botox injections are designed to reduce or remove visible signs of aging. The most common targets are hyper-functional lines - commonly known as “wrinkles.” These lines result from the contraction of underlying facial musculature, and Botox is effective because it temporarily weakens these muscles and prevents them from contracting. Botox does this without affecting the sensory feeling in these muscles. Botox may take up to 7 days to take full effect, although some patients notice considerable results in as little as 24 hours.

    How do I choose the right size for my breast implants?

    Choosing the right size for your new breast implants is an important decision. The choice is obviously based heavily on your own personal desires and tastes. On the other hand, you also need to take into account a number of additional factors. You might need to consider things like whether you have breastfed heavily in the past, and how this has affected your breasts. Remember, you can also receive cosmetic surgery to make breasts smaller. You can even receive surgery to change the general shape of the breasts without necessarily changing their size.

    How long do I need to take off work?

    You may need to take some time off work after undergoing your cosmetic procedure. Your surgeon will speak with you and let you know how long you need to fully recuperate. In general, most patients should rest for at least a week after receiving cosmetic surgery (less invasive procedures like Botox shouldn’t require any time off work).
