Acne

Mix the juice of 2 cloves of garlic with an equal amount of white vinegar. Use a cotton ball to apply the mixture to affected area several times a day. This garlic vinegar acne treatment uses the antibiotic, antifungal, antiseptic and germicidal properties of garlic to fight the acne while its antioxidants help repair and protect the skin from free radical damage and help draw out infections. The vinegar balances your skin’s pH levels.



Cold Sores

The next time you are suffering from a cold sore, cut open a raw clove of garlic and apply it directly to the sore. The garlic juice will sting, but it will aid in healing the sore and making sure it does not get infected.



Psoriasis

Treat the red and itchy skin patches characteristic of psoriasis with garlic oil. Purchase garlic oil gel capsules full of oil at a health food store or online and simply poke a needle hole in the capsule and apply the oil liberally to the affected area.
