exfoliate your skin, mix two teaspoons each of lemon juice and sugar. Apply the mixture on your face, neck and hands. Scrub in a circular motion and leave it on for 10 minutes. Then rinse it off with lukewarm water. Follow this remedy once a week to enjoy glowing skin.

I don't like listerine personally speaking. It has alcohol as a content in it. You may go for regular chlohex plus mouthwash dilute in water rinse two times a day for 28 days only.

Often many patients who visit wash their eyes daily with water based on the practice followed by their ancestors or other family members and friends.
