Eggplant For Freckles

Research has shown that Eggplant(also known as Aubergine or Brinjal) can help in preventing skin cancer. Since Eggplant is rich in Vitamins, Minerals and Phytonutrients it is good for skin and it works wonders on freckles.

You can rub fresh cut eggplant directly on your face and rinse off after ten to fifteen minutes. Doing this regularly will fade your freckles, in fact, you would be able to see the result in ten days.

Causes And Home Remedies For Skin Pigmentation

Today one of my readers emailed me to ask me if her skin pigmentation’s due to Iron Deficiency. Skin Pigmentation is not due to Iron Deficiency but it’s the exact opposite, its due to Iron Overload. Yes, when our skin accumulates more Iron than needed it will reflect on our skin by making it look dark. Iron Deficiency makes our skin look Pale, not dark. Skin Pigmentation could also be due to Vitamin E and Vitamin A Deficiency. So if your skin starts getting dark you should consider adding these Vitamins in your Daily Diet or go for additional Supplements. But please CONSULT your doctor before starting any supplement. Vitamin A overdose can have serious side effects.
