Using effective skincare products, avoiding too much sun exposure and eating healthily are all aspects we know are great for our skin. Looking after our skin is important, especially when you consider that it’s one of the largest organs, helping to protect, regulate and provide sensation. As your skin reflects your overall health and vitality, ensuring it looks radiant should be a priority. Here are some surprising things that are good for your skin health

Aspirin

If you’re having a bad breakout, try looking in your medicine cabinet for a remedy. Aspirin is great for treating spots as it boasts similar chemicals to salicylic acid – a substance that is able to exfoliate inside pores to detoxify and clear congestion. To use aspirin to treat blemishes, crush a tablet up and mix with water to form a paste. Apply this directly to the spot and leave for a couple of minutes before rinsing off. This treatment will help to alleviate redness and soothe soreness.

Lemons

Want to lighten freckles or dark spots? Instead of splurging on an expensive cream, try a little lemon juice instead. Apply lemon juice to the darkened area and leave for 15 minutes before rinsing. This is a safe and effective way of lightening your skin.

Yoghurt

Soothe your complexion and tighten pores with a spoonful of natural yoghurt. Simply apply yoghurt all over the skin and leave for 10 to 15 minutes. Rinse thoroughly and your skin will feel soft, smooth and healthy.

Dark chocolate

Think chocolate is bad for your skin? Not so! Dark chocolate is rich in antioxidants which help to fight free radical damage which can damage collagen and elastin. Eating dark chocolate can boost a youthful looking complexion and increase luminosity.

Oil

Oily skin types shouldn’t avoid using oils on their skin. Using a natural oil like olive or jojoba oil will increase hydration levels and improve the overall appearance of your skin. Just make sure that you avoid coconut oil if you are prone to acne as it can clog your pores.
