Problem: Article: Bentonite clay, also called shampoo clay, has been shown to be effective in treating eczema and diaper rash and can be found in many natural health stores. Stir green clay with a bit of water into a peanut butter-like paste and apply to the skin. Let it dry then peel it off, taking away irritants that may have been making you itchy. Oatmeal contains compounds that reduce inflammation and irritation. Most pharmacies sell oatmeal preparations to add to your bath water. You can also add a bit of water to a cup of uncooked oatmeal, let it soak for a few minutes, then apply it as a paste to the irritated area. Loose clothing prevents any friction irritation. Cotton is the friendliest and coolest of fabrics to wear over irritated skin as it won't scratch and is breathable. Many natural health shops sell essential oils such as peppermint, which often comes in a roller you can apply directly to the skin. Leaves can also be crushed and mixed with a small amount of water to make a paste to gently apply to your skin. Cool wet peppermint tea bags can also be applied directly to the skin. Hypoallergenic means that the item you are using has been tested to be free of chemicals such as scent or colour that would irritate the skin. Also try putting your clothes through a second rinse cycle. Scented detergent often has chemicals that can further exacerbate already irritated skin. If you have a plant at home, just break off a tip of the plant and squeeze some of the natural aloe onto your skin and gently rub it in Be sure to not use your fingernails when applying the aloe or you could irritate your skin further. Stress increases the cortisol level in your bloodstream, making your skin hypervigilant to infection and causing an inflammatory response. Talk to your doctor if you have chronic stress and anxiety. There are many ways you can naturally deal with stress.
Summary: Use clay. Take a lukewarm bath with uncooked or colloidal oatmeal. Wear loose, cotton clothing Apply peppermint oil. Use hypoallergenic soaps without dyes and perfumes Avoid scented detergent. Apply aloe vera. Reduce stress and anxiety.

Problem: Article: While it may seem that a dish-using appliance like a dishwasher will use more water than you do, newer dishwashers are very water-efficient. In fact, whereas you'll use around 20 gallons (76 L) of water hand washing a load in the sink, the dishwasher will only use 4.5 gallons (17 L). Some dishwashers are also equipped with special fast or economy cycles that use even less water, and these are ideal for lightly soiled dishes. Even if you use a water-saving dishwasher, it's still important to wait until the appliance is full before turning it on. This is because the dishwasher uses the same amount of water no matter how full it is, so you can maximize water use by only running full loads. When you do have to wash dishes by hand, you can save water by putting in the plug and filling the basin with soapy water rather than leaving the water running. Only fill the sink with as much water as you need to wash the dishes. Similarly, rinse dishes in a sink full of clean water rather than running water over them.
Summary: Use an energy-efficient dishwasher instead of handwashing. Run the dishwasher only when it's full. Don't let the water run when washing dishes by hand.

Problem: Article: There are many scar removal products available that may help to reduce the appearance of acne scars. You can apply these before you apply your makeup. For best results, look for a product that: Contains sunscreen, to protect your skin from sun damage. Hypoallergenic, to reduce the chance of an allergic reaction. Non-comedogenic, so it won't clog your pores and give you an acne outbreak. Contains extra ingredients to help reduce the appearance of scars, such as vitamin C, kojic acid, arbutin (also known as bearberry extract), or licorice. Take a close look at your scars under bright light and examine what colors they have and how they differ from the rest of your skin. You can make them less obvious by applying the opposite color. For example, you can neutralize a red scar with a touch of green concealer, hide a purple blemish with a tiny bit of yellow, or make raised scars look smoother, by shading them slightly darker than the surrounding skin. This will make them appear to stand out less. Brands that work well for acne scars include: Kryolan Concealer Wheel, Ben Nye Concealer Cover-All Wheel, Laura Geller Real Deal Concealer and Clinique Even Better Concealer. Layering your makeup can also help to reduce the appearance of scars. Try starting with a moisturizer, then apply your concealer, then your foundation, and then a little more concealer to cover any scars that still stand out. You can also set your makeup with a powder foundation. If you have a lot of damage, you might try water-free foundations that stay on for a long time and provide complete coverage. The color must match your skin tone, or it will be obvious that you are wearing heavy makeup. You can either purchase a ready-made color or have a color blended just for you at a cosmetics counter in a department store. When you are done, it should not be possible to tell where the foundation starts and stops. Use this method by: Putting dots of foundation on your cheeks, forehead, nose and chin. You can also apply concealer in a criss-cross fashion. Smooth it into your skin with your fingers. Rubbing in circles works best. Go all the way up to your hairline and below your jaw. Smooth streaks with a brush or sponge. Let it set for 5 minutes.
Summary:
Look for a scar removal formula. Use color theory to hide individual scars. Layer your makeup. Apply the foundation with the dab-and-blend method.
