Welcome!

The whole idea of this blog is to offer natural solutions to every day uses. Having a family and knowing what it means to save a little money every where we can, we hope to be able to offer cost saving tips as well. We use essential oils, herbs, and other natural solutions to cure our ailments. Having a little ones around the house has made us think more about what we are using to clean with. We have been more into all natural everything from cleaning supplies, facial cleansers, food, and the list continues the more we research different medical issues that our family and friends have and how it can or could be avoided and hopefully cured. We hope that the things that we write about help someone else as the medical issues in our day and time just keep getting worse.

Age Spots Already?


So this concern was brought to me by someone, who I won't mention, as she might think I'm calling her old. But, as I was talking to her on the phone she said she was shopping for Age Spot Removal Cream. The first thought that went through my head was, that has got to be expensive! So I started researching while I was still on the phone and told her to go get cranberries blend them up and put them on her face. Her worry with the cranberries was, is it going to turn her face red? Well, I don't have age spots yet so I can't really test this one out for you but I did do some research for those of you concerned about age spots!

Age spots are circular patches on the skin more than likely on the face, shoulder, arms, and hands. They are caused by over-exposure to sun and aging. They aren't signs of disease or cancer as most people think.

A few ways to get rid of these spots naturally beside the cranberries are:
  • Mix 1 to 2 Tbsp of fresh orange juice with 1/2 Tbsp of apple cider vinegar, stir well and massage onto skin.
  • Dip cotton ball into castor oil and massage on spots.
  • Slice lemons and apply to skin several times a day.
  • Lemon juice with small amount of salt or sugar. Rub on skin.
  • Raw potato slice and apply to skin several times a day. You could also grind the potato into a paste and apply to skin for ten minutes.
  • Pierce vitamin E capsule with needle and squeeze and rub solution onto spots twice daily.
  • Pick fresh dandelions and blend to a paste, add water if necessary. Massage onto spots. Wash skin well as dandelions will stain your skin!
Personally, I will try the dandelions when I have this issue. It reminds me of being a kid. And everyone thought dandelions were useless!
