I give props to anyone who has had to deal with the awful effects of sensitive skin. Having eczema and psoriasis caused nothing but skin problems. Products that overuse alcohol, talc powder or any harsh chemicals are off limits. With the rise of natural and organic products, it has become easier to find remedies for common problems.

Here is a list of miracle natural products that have saved my skin, face and hair.

Coconut Oil

If you have not jumped on the coconut oil bandwagon: you should! It is a miracle oil for a number of common issues, like dry skin and acne. You can bake with it, eat it and add it to your beauty regimen. I use it to wash my face, facials, teeth whitening, deep conditioning my hair and scalp, shaving and the list goes on.

Tea Tree Oil

When my skin is a hot mess and I need a fast spot treatment this is my go to. You can use it in many different facial treatments and throw it in your shampoo for a deep clean.

Honey

Honey is an antibacterial, calming agent that can be used for so many things. A lot of people use it in their hair after harsh chemicals. I personally mix it with cinnamon and nutmeg to make a facial that calms down my acne. It can even get rid of stubborn blackheads and reduce pore size

Charcoal

This one you have to be careful with. It is a strong cleanser that can lift impurities off of your skin but should only be used once in a while. Sometimes charcoal is so good at cleansing that it can be over-drying. But it is perfect for when you need that deep clean without the chemicals.

Lemon Juice

This natural detox can be used for many common problems. Even just by throwing some into your water at work or the gym, it's the perfect detox. It can also be used to spot treat and lighten hair.

Apple Cider Vinegar

This was the holy grail before coconut oil. Some people even use it to wash their hair because it doesn't have all the additives that shampoo does. By taking it internally you can detox the body because it cures common ailments like yeast infections, constipation and clears sinuses. It can remove buildup in your hair, acne and dry skin. You name it, there's a natural remedy.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
