Healthy Remedy

We’ve likely all encountered and suffered from burns throughout our life at one point or another.

You may have burned your hand on a hot pot or pan in the kitchen, or perhaps you suffered some sort of sun burn spending too much time out in the sun.

Whatever the cause or the reason behind the burn, it can really sting and leave a mark if you don’t treat it right away.

Most of us will suffer a more minor burn and then move on without a thought as it will heal naturally through time. However there are some burns that are more serious and that certainly require more attention.

It is particularly important for a child that suffers from a burn to get proper medical attention and if a burn is third degree or more serious covering a large portion of the body, then medical attention is highly recommended.

If the burns suffered are more minor in nature, it can be highly desirable to treat this on your own.

There are a number of natural cures that one can seek out and handle on their own to cut down on the severity and the lasting result of the burn.

Fortunately you can find some highly effective home remedies for burns that will take the sting out and lessen the likelihood that a scar will be left behind.

Milk:

You know that milk can soothe a burning mouth after eating spicy food, and it acts no different in helping to heal a minor burn.

If you are looking for a helpful home remedy for burns, look no further than milk.

By placing milk directly on the site of the burn, it will help to get rid of the sting and speed up healing of the burn on the skin.

Either pour milk directly on the site of the burn or put on a cloth to place over the burn for the best effect.

Whole milk provides the very best natural cure as the fat it contains provides excellent healing power.

Vitamin C:

Vitamin C has natural healing powers and thus provides an excellent natural cure for burns.

If you have suffered a minor burn and are looking for the perfect home remedy to help with healing and make it go faster, then Vitamin C can be quite helpful.

Taking Vitamin C supplements and eating foods rich in the vitamin such as citrus fruits and potatoes can help as a natural cure for burns and help to get rid of the scars.

Cool Water:

Though your instinct may be to go for the coldest water possible to treat burns, this can cause even more damage.

If you are looking for a quick and easy home remedy for burns, turn to cool water.

If it’s too cold it can cause more damage and prolong the healing process, so cool water is the very best natural cure to turn to in a pinch.

Most people, especially we Asians have this certain something about fair skin. I think it’s in our blood. No matter how much the fashion gurus talk about the charisma of dusky skin, when it comes to fair skin, we can walk that extra mile, and some more extra miles after that to become a tad bit fairer.

But alas! Only a fortunate few can boast about fair, blemish-free skin. But, don’t get disheartened, even if you cannot look exactly like Snow white, you can lighten your present skin tone and have a better complexion, that too without spending tons of money on skin whitening peels and other chemical skin lightening procedures. A few classic remedies and a few strict rules can make your skin tone lighter and make you look fairer.

Tips to Get Fair Skin

Cocoa Powder

Mix 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder and 1 tablespoon of yoghurt. Add a little honey and mix well. Apply this on your skin. Let it dry and then wash off.

Do this, twice in a week and you’ll notice a marked improvement in your complexion. Besides this, cocoa powder polishes your body and reveals a certain glow.

Lemon Juice And Honey

Lemon is an excellent bleaching agent while honey is a hydrating and nourishing agent. Together they make a fabulous combo. Mix equal parts of lemon and honey and apply it on the skin. Let it dry and then wash off with tepid water. This will not only lighten the skin tone, but at the same time, banish the dryness.

Raw Papaya

It is known that the enzymes present in raw papaya can bleach the skin. In fact raw papaya has been used by women for thousands of years to get a fairer and glowing skin.

Blend some papaya and apply it on your face. Do this every day and you’ll see a noticeable difference in your skin tone.

Fairness Scrub

Instead of using a chemical scrub or cleanser you can prepare your own fairness scrub. Ground some red lentil and mix it with some curd. Apply this all over your body. Let it dry a bit and then slowly scrub off using the finger tips. Wash off with warm water. You can also prepare another fairness scrub by combining chickpea flour, curd or lemon juice. Make the scrub into a paste like consistency and apply it on your face. Let it dry before washing it off.

Oatmeal And Tomato

Oatmeal helps to scrub away the dead cells while the juice of tomato penetrates deep into the skin and makes it fairer.

The antioxidant present in tomato helps the skin to breathe because of which your skin appears lively and glows.

This mixture when applied on your skin gives it an immediate glow. Apply this thrice in a week to get a fairer skin. Mix some aloe vera gel, rosewater, glycerin, honey and some turmeric paste. All these ingredients help to nourish your skin and make you look radiant.

Saffron

Saffron is a really costly spice, but if you can lay your hands on say a ½ gram pack, that’ll be enough to do wonders for skin tone. Take some fresh cream and add 3-4 strands of pure authentic saffron.

Mix well and apply this on the skin. Let it dry and then use tepid water to warm it off. Remember, if you have oily skin do not go in for this.

Sunblock

Consider your sunscreen as your best friend because it will help you protect your fairness and glow. If you are trying to get a fairer skin and you step out in the sun without a sun block application, you’ll always be back to square one, because your skin will always be tanned!

So, keep that tube handy and apply generous amounts whenever you’re stepping out. However, I would suggest that you try and stay away from the sun as much a possible. In case you have an outside kind of job make sure your sunscreen has high SPF.

Extend The Sleeves

Long sleeves, pants and covered shoes will help you keep your skin fair. Even if you live in a place with high temperature wear a cotton shirt or top with long sleeves. If you’re driving a two-wheeler, long sleeves are a must else you’ll lose your newly found glow and fairness very easily.

Vitamins

Vitamins are really essential in your diet, especially if you want to have a blemish free, fair skin tone.

Vitamins act as co-enzymes in the body and eliminate free radicals from our skin surface. Vitamins restore health to your skin and healthy skin looks good too! You must eat fresh vegetables and fruits. You may also take in multi-vitamin supplementations.
