Say Goodbye to Skin Tags: 9 Home Remedies That Actually Work

Skin tags are small, harmless bumps that often appear where skin rubs together, like in the armpits or neck. While they don’t cause any health issues, many people choose to remove them for cosmetic reasons or to prevent irritation from clothing or jewelry. If you want to try removing skin tags at home, here are nine easy remedies using items you likely have at home:

**1. Tea Tree Oil:** This oil is known for its cleaning properties. To use it, put a few drops on a clean cotton ball and place it on the skin tag. Secure it with a bandage and leave it on overnight. Repeat this every night until the skin tag falls off.

**2. Apple Cider Vinegar:** Soak a cotton ball in apple cider vinegar and place it on the skin tag. Secure it with a bandage and do this every day for a few weeks. Over time, the skin tag will darken, dry out, and eventually fall off.

**3. Garlic:** Garlic has natural properties that can help shrink skin tags. Crush a garlic clove to make a paste, apply it to the skin tag, and cover it overnight. Wash it off in the morning and keep doing this until the skin tag disappears.

**4. Banana Peel:** The enzymes in banana peels can help break down skin tags. Cut a small piece of banana peel and place it over the skin tag, then cover it with a bandage overnight. Continue this process until the skin tag falls off.

**5. Vitamin E Oil:** This oil is good for your skin and may help with skin tags. Apply vitamin E oil to the skin tag and cover it with a bandage. Change the bandage daily until the skin tag falls off.

Using these simple remedies can help you remove skin tags at home safely and effectively. Always remember to be gentle with your skin and consult a doctor if you have any concerns.

Why Michael Jackson Wore Smaller Clothes at the End of His Shows (and 8 More Revelations About His Costumes)

Michael Jackson was a picky dresser, and he wanted to stand out. That’s why his costumes had a lot of details that made everyone wonder why they were there and what they meant. For example, almost every jacket Michael Jackson wore had an armband on the right sleeve, and some of his jackets also had “777” sewn onto them.

We at Bright Side are fascinated with Michael Jackson`s wardrobe, and we`re ready to reveal some of the secrets behind his costumes!

1. Why he wore smaller costumes at the end of his shows

Michael Jackson`s dance routines were very physically strenuous, and he gave his all during his performances. By the end of the show, he would often lose up to 5 lbs, and his waist would become one inch thinner. And since it was important that his clothes fit perfectly, so that he could show off his dance moves, every next costume was a bit smaller than the previous one.

2. How his lean shoes worked

Michael Jackson`s shoes that helped him defy the laws of gravity had a V-shaped clasp at the bottom of the heels. With its help, he could hook into a nail attached to the floor and perform his famous 45-degree forward tilt. However, to be able to do that and to keep his whole body straight, an incredible amount of core and leg strength was also needed.

3. Why he only wore one glove

Michael had vitiligo, a skin condition where patches of your skin lose pigment. It started on his hand and he wanted to cover it up. And he thought it would look too ordinary to wear 2 gloves, so he would only wear one.

4. Why almost every jacket had an armband on the right sleeve

Michel Jackson just wanted his clothes to be different from everyone else’s. And having an armband on a sleeve makes your look distinguishable. Michael also liked to make his fans wonder why that armband was there.

5. Why there are 3 № 7s sewn onto his jackets

Michael was the 7th child in his family. Also, he was born in 1958, and if you add 19 plus 58, it equals 77.

6. Why he never polished his shoes

Once, the singer`s managers were concerned about the condition of his shoes and asked his costume designer to polish them. He did it, but it made Michael extremely angry. He explained that the leather was worn off exactly as he needed it to be, and that polishing would make it too slippery for him to perform his dance moves.

7. Why he wore white socks

Michael loved wearing white socks for several reasons. No one else wore white socks with black shoes. Moreover, they would catch the light and attract attention to the movements of his feet when he was dancing.

8. Why he taped his fingers

Hand movements were an important part of Michael Jackson`s dance routines. So he and his costume designers decided to wrap white tape around his fingers in order to attract more light. Michael also decided it would be more unusual to only tape his index, ring, and pinkie fingers. It was also fun for him, because fans would ask why only 3 of his fingers were taped.

When Michael danced, he would unconsciously put his 2 untaped fingers together. And that would also add mysteriousness to his performances, since the fans would think this sign had a secret meaning.

9. What the letters CTE on his jackets stand for

These letters don`t stand for anything. In the 90s, Michael`s costume designers created a few new shirts for him. He liked them, but he wanted to add some letters on the epaulets. He said it didn`t matter which ones, so his costume designers put all of the letters of the alphabet into a hat, and took 3 of them out at random. That`s where the letters “CTE” came from.

Do you think Michael Jackson had great taste in clothes? Is there any costume of his that you like in particular? We`d love to hear your thoughts in the comments!
