• Scars/pimples: The natural way to treat this is to use homemade herbal masks. If scarring is deep, then it would take really long to heal. But general dark blemishes can be cured quickly. If your skin is oily, apply mask made of one teaspoon each of tomato juice, cucumber juice and potato juice. If you have normal skin type, a mix of one teaspoon of watermelon juice, four teaspoons of oats powder, one teaspoon each of lime juice and orange juice can even out your skin.

An immediate application of lavender essential oil could be another quick solution. And when the burn is almost healed, apply Vitamin E oil. It helps the scar to fade. But in second or third degree burns, there will be need of medical attention.

The color remedy for this is to use consealer lighter than your natural color and apply it around the eyes area and even out the skin tone, use a powder foundation.

• Stretch marks: It’s easier to prevent stretch marks than to cure them.

Or apply a lotion of cup of almond milk mixed with cup of coconut milk and the two teaspoons of glycerin and cocoa butter can help prevent stretch marks. Refrigerate it and use it in the morning and evening before taking bath.
Stretch marks can be covered with a heavy consealer using the stripping method. Then blend it into the skin with your fingertips. Lastly, set with powder and a bronzer for the flawless looks.

• Perspiration: For a fresh and squeaky clean face, use chilled natural astringents like a grated cucumber or tomato pulp or watermelon juice. This will reduce the oiliness and excess sweating.
