1. FRECKLES

Freckles are small patches of light brown color on the skin, often becom larger and deeper when exposed to the sun. These appear more on the elevated areas of the skin including the nose, cheeks, bones and forehead. The best remedy for freckles is minimising exposure to the sun and intensive moisturization.

2. WHITEHEADS

These are small pimples with a whitish top caused by the accumulation of the hardened sebum or oil in the pores of the skin. These little spots are best cured by maintaining a healthy diet, healthy lifestyle and proper facial skin care regimen such as cleansing, exfoliating and moisturizing.

3. DARK UNDER-EYE CIRCLES

This facial skin problem is typically caused by lack of sleep, stress, overworked, fatigue and dietary deficiencies. The good remedy for dark under-eye circles is by using the special under-eye creams that contain lanolin and almonds. Also, when applying a face mask, the skin around the eyes should be carefully left out .

4. ENLARGED PORES

When the sebaceous glands become overactive, it results in the enlargement of the skin pores. The sebaceous glands then secrete oils which would lead to clogging of the pores. This in turn cause blackheads, white heads and other related forms of acne. The good remedy for this kind of facial skin problem is to use a medicated cleanser to wash and keep the pores free of sebum.

5. STRETCH MARKS

Stretch marks are basically caused by overstretching of the skin that destroys its elasticity and resilience. The development of stretch marks is mostly due to gaining or losing excess weight. The only good remedy for this type of skin problem is to prevent it from happening in the first place as it’s almost impossible to cure or completely remove stretch marks. The most critical time to take preventive measure is during pregnancy and a few months after the delivery.
