Itch Relief - BY JUST PEACHY

For mosquito bites, poison oak/ivy, etc. you can make a paste by mixing baking soda with water. Apply to the itchy area (it soothes itching because the sodium draws out poisons). After it dries it'll start to flake off, so you may need to apply more than once.

Eye Relaxer - BY MIKE M.

For tired or stressed out eyes, a good way to calm them is to put chamomile tea bags that are already wet from dipping them into warm water. Place over eyes, leave for 2-5 mins and you'll feel great!

Bounce The Mossie Away - BY ALLASTAIR M.

I dont like the mossie sprays so I just rub a bounce dryer sheet on my skin before going out. They dont go near you!

Diminish Scars - BY MARGARITA A.

I'm from Colombia, and we have a product here called panela, it's made out of sugar cane, I know for a fact that you can find this product in Miami or in NYC or wherever you can find Colombian people. This is what you could do, grind panela in a bowl, about one teaspoon and mix it with water or milk. It will leave your face really soft and with time, using it everyday for 10 minutes, it will diminish the scars you have.

Tea Tree Oil - BY LORETHA

I agree with April, Nova Scotia. Tea Tree is the greatest -- I apply to many areas, e.g. my hair, cold sore, outbreak of monthly herpes, rub it on my skin for eczema and other skin problems. I have rinse my mouth - dilluted with water (has a horrible taste, but it works). The toothpaste I buy has tea trea oil in it.
