How To Beautify Your Skin With Fresh Mint

Joburg Admin / May 3, 2016

Soothe Irritations Due to its great anti-inflammatory properties, mint juice can help soothe skin irritations like mosquito bites. It can also help calm and soften dry or itchy skin. Prevent Lice Apply mint oil to your hair three or four times every week to prevent and treat lice. Make sure you massage it in well and leave it on for half an hour before a bath or shower. Remove Dead Skin Cells Mix mint juice with raw oats and use the mixture to scrub your skin. It will slough off dead skin cells while hydrating your face and body at the same time. It can even lighten pimple marks. Soothe Cracked Heels Use mint leaves by boiling them in water and soaking your feet in it. This will help soothe cracked heels and soften your feet. The aroma will also help calm your nerves and senses. Eliminate Blackheads Apply a paste of mint leaves on black-head affected areas and wash off after ten minutes. Treat Acne Salicylic acid present in mint is fantastic for treating acne. Make a paste of mint leaves and natural rose water and apply the solution to your face. Rinse off after half an hour. Doing this regularly will help get rid of stubborn acne. Control Oil Use mint leaves on your skin in the form of a paste or a face mask mixed with oatmeal to control oiliness and refresh your complexion. Be sure to give this easily available natural ingredient a try in your natural skincare routine. If you've tried it before, share your thoughts in the comments below. By Candice May
