Pimples and Blotches: An absolutely clean skin has no pimples. Hence the cleaner your skin, the less likely pimples are to appear. Women are more apt to have pimples than men, but are also more skilled in removing them. "Acne" is a spread of pimples due to improper blood conditions. It usually occurs during puberty, and calls for medical treatment. The use of salves is not recommended and though carbolated vaseline tends to dry pimples up, it increases oily skin conditions.

A purely surface pimple, after an alcohol wipe, may have its head (the little yellow point) pricked. After the pus has been squeezed out, clean with a bit of cotton soaked in alcohol. The use of warm water and Ivory soap with a flesh brush, rinsing with cold water (and after drying, steaming the face every fourth day), should cause pimples to disappear.

Natural home skin care remedies can be healing lotions which may be made by mixing an ounce of tincture of haxnamelis with an equal amount of warm water, and applying frequently.

Tan and Moth Spots: Too many coats of tan- Nature's skin protection against sunburn- coarsen the skin. The so called "moth spots," brown spots or patches which appear after middle life, are due to this tan pigment.

Natural home skin care remedies can be lotions which are efficacious for freckles is good for tan. A teaspoonful of milk, to which a little common salt has been added, may be applied at night and washed off in the morning.

Other natural home skin care remedies for lotions can be made up of two ounces of lemon juice, a half drachm of borax, powdered, one drachm of powdered white sugar. It should stand for several days before using, then be applied as in the preceding case. A mixture of lemon juice and carbonate of magnesia is also valuable in correcting skin discolorations. It should be allowed to remain some time after it has been applied to the skin.

Warts and Moles: Moth spots are only "bleached" by these lotions, and usually have to be removed by the specialist. A good dermatologist can easily remove the small, brown moles which are often encountered. For other old-fashioned natural home skin care remedies, ones that "work," is: when the mole protrudes enough, to wind a hair tightly around it. If the hair is allowed to remain, the mole gradually detaches itself and falls off.

Small moles should be at once removed, lest they grow larger. The same applies to raised, colorless moles. Red moles should never be touched. Cancer often results if an attempt be made to remove them.

Warts are usually harmless. They are apt to disappear of their own accord. In general, your family physician or a skin specialist of standing should be consulted for any serious skin disorder. Avoid the common run of beauty doctors, and the "home skin care remedies and treatments" of salves and ointments, for all troubles that go beyond tan, sunburn, freckles, pimples, blackheads and chapping.

Natural home skin remedies do work! They date back centuries, before modern science which even to this day relies heavily on natural ingredients to formulate skin treatments.
