Prickly Heat Skin Care:
Prickly heat is one skin problem that many face in summer. It occurs due to the blockage of sweat glands resulting in tiny blisters that are Itchy.
Remedy: Aloe-Vera : This medicinal plant is used for a lot of purposes. You can rub the aloe vera on the infected areas to get rid of prickly heat. It contains chamomile oil that give you a relief.
Treating Sunburns:
To soothe sunburned skin, heat a cup of regular oatmeal with one-half cup whole milk until cooked. Let cool and apply to burned skin. The oatmeal soothes and the milk acts as a gentle exfoliant to remove dead cells.
Excessive Body Sweating & Bad Odour:
Remedy: Mix two teaspoons of vinegar with two teaspoons of raw honey for better tasting. Take the formula three times a day on an empty stomach, half an hour before a meal or after each meal. You can expect to see results within a week.
Apple cider vinegar or white vinegar is also helpful to get rid of underarm odor. It will saturate your armpit’s sweat pores and thus creating a drying effect. You can simply soak some cotton ball in it and rub this on your underarms. You will be odor-free all day when the vinegar is dry.
