Alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) are found in milk, lemon juice, vinegar, blackberries, grapes, oranges, tomatoes, and apple juice exfoliate the skin by dissolving the glue that holds dead skin cells together. \n\nThey cleanse the top layer of skin, allowing the body's natural emollient oils to reach the surface cells and help moisturize and relieve dryness. They help cleanse oily skin and remove blackheads. \n\nAHA chemical peels of between 20 and 70 percent acidity are available from some doctors, but they are so strong they can leave scars, and the FDA believes that these strong peels could expose the skin to an increased risk of sunburn. \n\nThe ingredients such as organic apple cider vinegar, is an all-natural AHA that you can use at home (avoid the eyes), has seven percent acidity, and is a safe and sure way to get the benefit of fruit acids without danger to the skin (although even at this low level, you should be aware of the increased risk of sunburn). \n\nThe benefits of homemade fruit acids become evident as soon as you start using them; your skin starts feeling soft and smooth. \n\nTo my skin's great benefit I squeeze a lemon once a week and keep its juice in the refrigerator. In the morning, I dab some of the juice on my fingers and pat it onto my face, leave it on for ten minutes or so and then rinse.

The key to skin care for acne is consistency. An overnight cure has not been found. But using good skin care methods aids in the daily, steady improvement of follicle health. Since acne is not caused by eating certain foods, restricting the diet is not helpful. Since it is also not caused by "dirty" skin, excessively scrubbing does not help and can even make the skin more irritated. The best skin care for comedones consists of once-a-day cleansing with a mild soap or facial scrub to aid in the removal of excess sebum and dead skin cells. Oil-based makeup should not be used since these can contribute to the buildup of oil in the follicles. Water-based makeup labeled as non-comedogenic can be used safely.

Hi DOnald\n\nHere is the answer.\n\nHydration for Resplendent Skin \nNicholas V. Perricone MD - "We must drink eight to 10 glasses of pure water a day. Diet sodas and coffee don’t count, though I’m allowing tea (green or black) as part of the 8 to 10 daily glasses. When we decrease inflammation in the body, the brain works better, mood is elevated, skin becomes more radiant, dark circles and puffiness under the eyes resolve, skin becomes more toned, and even fine lines can diminish. We must remember that the skin is a reflection of our internal health. Therefore, if our skin improves, all other vital organs also improve. This decreases our risk of every disease from which we suffer." Nicholas V. Perricone MD, is the author of “The Wrinkle Cure.” \n\nBatmanghelidji MD - "Drinking water enables the skin to better shed toxins and thus keeps it cleaner. When the skin is dehydrated it cannot shed toxins from the body and skin rashes or breakouts can occur. Use 1/4 tsp. of sea salt for every quart of water you drink. Use a good sea salt, one with at least 80 minerals, liberally with food. As long as you drink the water, you can use the salt. Some put it in their water, some lick it off their hand, some season their foods after cooking. It's up to you. Make sure you take potassium daily (banana, orange juice,etc) " \n\nhttp://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/skin.htm\n\nBest of health to you

Hey man be careful with some crazy people up there. Oatmeal, lemon juice, vinegar IS NOT GOOD AT ALL. Those things could make it even worst. Take a pain killer like Advil or Tylenol. Also, get Banana Boat Aloe Vera gel. Put it in the fridge and use it at least twice a day (morning and evening). Last year I had a bad SBurn. Right after the Aloe Vera gel I use a Lubriderm lotion. Don't rub it, be gentle. Also, don't expose yourself to the sun and use light cotton cloth. Avoid detergent or use a natural one to avoid any sensitive reaction to the skin. Also, drink vitamin E and break a capsule and mix it with the Lubriderm or Aloe Vera gel. It worked out for me. I know people who had nasty marks after a sun burn like mine. I don't have any!

It depends on the level of damage. \n\nBut if it's not too severe you can usually do an at home chemical peel. Take a raw lemon and split it into quarters. Rub the lemon on your skin, let dry and reapply. Then gently wash off. You can repeat this every 3 days safely, any more often and you'll damage your skin even further. \n\nGood luck!

Precautions While Using This Medicine\n\nDuring the first 3 weeks you are using benzoyl peroxide, your skin may become irritated. Also, your acne may seem to get worse before it gets better. If your skin problem has not improved within 4 to 6 weeks, check with your health care professional.\n\nYou should not wash the areas of the skin treated with benzoyl peroxide for at least 1 hour after application.\n\nAvoid using any other topical medicine on the same area within 1 hour before or after using benzoyl peroxide . Otherwise, benzoyl peroxide may not work properly.\n\nUnless your doctor tells you otherwise, it is especially important to avoid using the following skin products on the same area as benzoyl peroxide: \n\nAny other topical acne product or skin product containing a peeling agent (such as resorcinol, salicylic acid, sulfur, or tretinoin); \nHair products that are irritating, such as permanents or hair removal products; \nSkin products that cause sensitivity to the sun, such as those containing lime or spices; \nSkin products containing a large amount of alcohol, such as astringents, shaving creams, or after-shave lotions; or \nSkin products that are too drying or abrasive, such as some cosmetics, soaps, or skin cleansers. \nUsing these products along with benzoyl peroxide may cause mild to severe irritation of the skin. Although skin irritation can occur, some doctors sometimes allow benzoyl peroxide to be used with tretinoin to treat acne. Usually tretinoin is applied at night so that it doesn't cause a problem with any other topical products that you might use during the day. Check with your doctor before using any other topical medicines with benzoyl peroxide.\n\nThis medicine may bleach hair or colored fabrics .\n\nCheck with your doctor at any time your skin becomes too dry or irritated. Your health care professional can help you choose the right skin products for you to reduce skin dryness and irritation.\n\n\n\nSide Effects of This Medicine\n\nAlong with its needed effects, a medicine may cause some unwanted effects.

I have issues with darker skin on my elbows and someone told me to cut a lemon in half and just rub my elbow in it for 10 minutes a day or so and they lightened right up, it's just one of those things skin do.  There are also skin lightening products, but they contain chemicals which would probably irritate the sensitive armpit area.

It may sound kind of crazy but lemon juice is said to work pretty well with dark spots on the skin. Just slice the lemon in half and sprinkle a little raw sugar on it to create a kind of scrub. Rub it on the affected area. Try it for a week.
