Health Care Tips (Part I)
Acne, which often strikes during the teen-age years, can be lessened with the use of oranges and lemons. The acid in the fruit helps the skin exfoliate, which in turn, keeps the skin in better condition. Wash face, then run a piece of fresh citric fruit over the entire surface. Leave on for a few minutes, then wash off.
For burns, of course, the wonderful aloe vera plant is unsurpassed. Simply cut one of the plant’s thick leaves and smear the juice of the aloe vera plant directly onto the burn. Since aloe vera plants grow very well indoors, it’s advisable to keep one handy. Do not use butter or lard, as the old wives tale dictates. Do, however, hold the burn under cold water for several minutes to stop the burn in its tracks. Burns are serious and should be taken seriously. They must be cleaned property and handled carefully.
For hands and feet that dry and crack, use vitamin E lotion, avoid hot baths, and allow only minimum exposure to hot and cold. Do use a callus file when necessary–allowing callus to build up is asking for your feet and hands to eventually crack.
