I am very skeptical on LIME/LEMON in ones eye to cure pink eye. I chastised my friend for doing this to her kid. I went online to find any article that would back up my distain for the practice. Curiously enough I did not find any article that read quot; hey Bozo don't put lime or lemon in your eyequot;...instead I found all these articles on how to use lime/lemon for the cure to pink eye. Ok fine but can someone tell me WHY this is wise!?!?!?! Why does it work? What is the science behind it ?
I don't know about lime, but I heard lemon helps. I'm not sure if it worked that great for me, but then again I have a very weird skin type. I have a scrub/exfoliater though that helps a bit, with lemon (you could probably substituted with lime), green tea and white sugar. You basically boil your tea, mix some in with the sugar and add some lemon. Then I open the tea bag and dump the leaves in as well. But actually, it's really just the lemon (lime) sugar that exfoliates, and the green tea is just an addition. So you can substitute the grean tea if you don't have any for honey, 'cause honey is just as great. But since you don't have honey, I've herd you can put in some natural yogurt as well. If you were fortunate enough to have all, it'd be like an ultimate natural exfoliater. :) But otherwise, just so the white sugar and lime scrub, and tell me if that works. I've done it plenty of time and from my experience it doesn't work 100% for me. But that's just my skin type!
NATURAL ACNE PROTOCOL 1/ Never, ever touch your face. 2/ Use 3 facecloths to wash your face, one to soap on, one to soap off with very hot water, one to rinse off with ice cold water, in that order, once a day. 3/ If you are under 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A once a day with a full meal 4/ If you are over 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A twice a day with a full meal. Do not get pregnant while taking vitamin A. Do not take any more, like Accutane, it will stop you growing. 5/ Never, ever. pick, squeeze or pop your spot. Read number 1 again. 6/ Do this for 90 days. 7/ Invest in a brand new pillow and 2 new or more pillow cases to ???double bag' your pillow. HOT wash every couple of days. Source: A bit of advice given to me as a teenager, a bit of science as I am studying allergic reactions and vitamin A is a part of that. A bit of research: I sat in a lecture at the back and watched the acne prone pick at their faces, those with the worse acne touched their faces 32 times in an hour, the clearest complexions didn't touch their faces even once. I have circumstantial evidence that acne is the result of dermatophyte transfer from hands to face...where it does not get washed off and is well fed by hormones, sweat a nd oil...just a hypothesis... But it would explain why vitamin A is so effective as vitamin causes skin to remove dermatophytes. The secret is never to touch the spots Tips on how to treat acne and achieve perfect clear skin in as little as 7 days?
Since everyone else has suggested home remedies, I will suggest some dietary alternatives. Great skin isn't about what you eat, it's about what you DON'T eat. 1. Drink more water. 8 glasses a day is a good start. You always hear the celebs saying drinking water is their secret to healthy skin. It's worked for me for along time too. 2. Eat lots of carrots- they're chalk full of vitamins A and E, which help to heal and balance the skin. I would suggest taking vitamin's E and A...but the body has a much easier time absorbing vitamins through organic sources, and given your time constraints, this might be more helpful. In fact as a general rule, the more colourful the vegetable, the better it is for your skin! For instance, 1 serving of brocoli has more vitamin A than a multivitamin would have. 3. Eat lots of berries- raspberries, blueberries and blackberries are excellent antioxidants. These fruits help detoxify your system, and rid your face of internal pollutants.
You should find your self some benzaclin from your doctor.This has affected my acne in such a way that ive never seen my face so clear.Now i dont think lime would take off acne like you would want it to but it will revitalize your face maybe reducing redness and aiding scars
