Quick fixes for skin ailments

Posted on Oct 17th 2007 8:13PM by Martha Edwards
Who doesn't love a tried and true home remedy? I know I for love knowing little quick cures that don't involve trips to the drug store and expensive purchases. eDiets has put together a list of household items that you can use on problem skin. Here are some tips:
  • Apple cider vinegar will help take the skin out of a sunburn
  • A mixture of buttermilk, vinegar and salt will help heal a poison ivy rash
  • It's thought echinachea can help with eczema
  • To fight acne and blackhead, break a vitamin E capsule on your face before going to bed. Then, in the morning, do the same thing with a vitamin A capsule.
  • Use tea tree oil to nip a cold sore in the bud.
I have my doubts about these remedies, but I'm eager to try them. What about you?
