Hi everyone, this is Rajee!

I live the beautiful city of Baltimore, where my husband works.

I’m from India. I have been visiting India on and off for past few years and my mom was an inspiration for me to start this site. She has a wealth of knowledge on home remedies for a large number of health problems, and we grew up in an environment where frequent visits to the doctor just wasn’t logistically or financially feasible.

Despite this, she managed to raise a family of healthy kids, and my goal here at Home Remedies for Life is to pass on some of her knowledge of natural remedies.

      Here’s the process of making homemade skin whitening cream. Using a double boiler, heat cocoa butter, coconut oil and extra virgin olive oil. Once they are melted and mixed thoroughly. Remove from the flame and pour into a steel container. Let it cool down completely and store in a cool dry place. Apply the cream on the face before going to bed daily.

      It is better to try the process once in a day because excessive usage can dry the skin completely. This can aggravate the oil production in the skin and lead to problems like acne, blackheads and oily skin.

          As per your description, we are not sure which remedy or combination you are talking about. Can you let us know in specific to provide right answer? If it is just tomato application then you can apply it twice a day to control the oil production.

      Stitch scars are actually a little stubborn to deal with. They take a long time to fade their appearance. Apply some lemon juice daily on the scars and leave it to dry for 15 minutes. Rinse off with water and pat dry. Repeat the process daily before going to bed until you achieve the results.

      Tomato can help you reduce the swelling and other discomfort caused by pimple, but it cannot prevent new acne breakouts. Because the main reason for pimples is inside. It might be either hormonal changes, or any vitamin deficiency. So, in order to prevent new acne breakouts, you can try the method mentioned in this article -http://homeremediesforlife.com/acne/
