Acne

Acne can be a dehabilitating condition and most of us have dealt with one way or another. I personally didn't have full blown "acne", but I have siblings who were impacted and it can be devastating. During the teenage years, it can be especially difficult, but there are acne products and ways to combat acne. There are natural procedures and acne medications. It all depends on what you are comfortable with. A few of my friends use Murad Acne products and have seen good results. I can't recommend any actual "acne product", because all I have ever used is basic soap and water. Fortunately, I haven't had to deal with severe acne. I get pimples here and there, but if you have or know someone who has acne, look for a solution. Don't sit back and think there is nothing to do. There are answers that start with diet, health and can be supported by acne products. Acne can be beaten and you will feel better about yourself. Your life can be changed and you will get rid of acne. Find an answer!

Get A Lemony Fresh, White Smile

The last tip for white teeth? Cut out the culprits! If teas, coffees, dark-colored sodas and red wine are constants in your life, replace them with colorless liquids like water to brighten those teeth. Be sure to brush teeth after every meal to remove residue, and for an extra bit of scrubbing power, and a dash of lemony freshness, squeeze a few lemon drops on your toothbrush.

Sage Tooth Whitener

If you want a pearly white smile without using chemical-laden teeth whiteners, try this recipe Native Americans used to keep their teeth dazzling.

Grind 2 tablespoons of sea salt and 2 tablespoons of dried sage leaves together. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes in a 250F oven. Cool, and then stir to blend. Scoop some of the mixture on your toothbrush and brush vigorously, then rinse thoroughly.

A Berry Effective Teeth Whitener

Another natural way to whiten your teeth in a pinch is to rub a cut strawberry across those pearly whites, (or just let mashed berries sit on them) for a few minutes before rinsing. The malic acid in the berries helps remove strains, and it tastes pretty good too!

Brighten Your Smile Naturally

Nothing goes better with sun-kissed skin than a dazzling set of pearly whites, but those store-bought whitening strips contain a lot of chemicals that may not be so good for your choppers. Instead, try some natural tricks for getting brighter whites.
