|| EWW WHAT’S THAT?! || It’s a cold sore. It’s something that many people get. Yet the stigma around them is crazy and I feel it. It’s a virus, it’s contagious, it’s ‘ugly’, it’s painful, it’s frustrating, it’s a real confidence sucker. And so here I am to tell you that I get them too. If you don’t, awesome. Just don’t judge someone that does. I usually get mine inside my nose – I know, sexy! 😂🤷🏼‍♀️ – and they’re really blimmin’ painful, but on Wednesday I had a stressful day and this beauty popped up out of nowhere. Despite putting this photo out there to the World Wide Web, I don’t feel ok about it, but I felt the need to share as this pesky thing has got me feeling a little down and is less than ideal for a day of filming tomorrow. Anyway, my point is, if you get them, you’re not alone. If you don’t, think yourself lucky and don’t just stare at someone else’s like they’ve got dog sh*t all over their face. 👍🏼

Cold sores are such a pain in the butt and always come at the worst time. Cole sores often appear when you’re stressed or your immune system is low, like during or right after a cold. Whether you get them often or even once in a blue moon, it’s good to get rid of them as fast as they came so you can get on with your life. If you want to do it naturally, try these solutions with products you probably already have in your home!

Garlic

Garlic is a natural antiviral ingredient, and in its raw form loves to kill bacteria. By cutting a piece of garlic in half and holding each of the halves on your cold sore for 5 minutes each, three to four times a day, you can actually reduce your cold sore by several days!

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is the vitamin that helps rebuild your skin, and putting it on your cold sore can help the formation of new skin faster, which will help get rid of your cold sore. You can either put the oil right onto your cold sore, or eat foods that are rich in vitamin E like nuts and dark leafy greens.
