7. Treat acne with aloe vera

Aloe vera can be used as one of wonderful, natural, homemade beauty treatments, it has really amazing properties and that’s why you see it as an ingredient in so many store bought products. You can use it as an effective treatment for acne, because it has antibacterial properties, which will kill the bacteria that can cause breakouts, and it soothes irritated skin and reduces inflammation. For the best results, take aloe vera gel directly from an aloe vera leaf. You can’t get much more natural than that!

8. Moisturise with raw honey

The best honey to use on your skin is the real, unfiltered, raw honey. It’s a bit more expensive than the runny, light coloured honey that you might usually buy, but raw honey is superb for your skin with all its enzymes and antioxidants. To give your skin a real treat, smooth some honey on your skin and then leave it on for fifteen minutes. That will give it time for the antimicrobial properties to work and it will leave your skin wonderfully smooth and soft.

9. Refresh your skin with lemon juice

Fresh lemon juice is a brilliant natural ingredient for clear skin and it can be added as an ingredient in many natural, homemade beauty treatments. It has citric acid, which exfoliates the skin, and it has plenty of Vitamin C, which helps new skin cells to form and it also lightens any dark patches on the skin. Apply fresh lemon juice to your face and leave it on for 15 minutes. Wash it off with warm water and then you can use some cucumber slices to soothe the skin and moisturise it.

10. Use witch hazel as a daily toner

Witch hazel is a natural ingredient that is found in many different types of skin products, but there is no reason why you can’t use it at home as a home daily skin toner. It soothes inflammation, fights oily skin, and it will help to fight pimples and acne too. Apply alcohol free witch hazel to your face with cotton wool every day and watch complexion improve.
