2. Lemon Juice is great for after extraction and helps with discoloration of the effected skin. Use a notch of a lemon wedge to rub over the pimples, and let the lemon juice set for 30 minutes.
3. Orange peels is one of mother nature exfoliates, helps revive irritating skin. After eating a juicy orange create a paste out of the peel and apply to skin. Wash away the zesty paste after setting for 20 minutes.
4. Use Olive Oil to revive your skin by rubbing in the olive oil 3-4 time’s day, this will bring back moisture after your blemish is dried up.
