Acne? Oily skin? Scars? No Worries...just read this ;)

Hi dolls, from age 14-17 I had oily skin with dry patches above my eyebrows.My skin is completely sensitive & any face washes or creams that I'd apply would just make my skin completely dry & then the next morning I would break out like crazy. All over my forehead, chin & jawline. I've found the best home remedy to help maintain beautiful & healthy skin. Ok so twice a week I make this mask & it has truly done wonders for my skin! I no longer have dry patches, acne, & my scars have faded. In a small bowl mix 2 tbsps of organic, unprocessed raw honey with 1tsp of cinnamon, & a tsp of lemon juice. mix it all together. Wash your face with a cleanser. Dry it off, & apply this mask all over your face. Leave it on for 25-30mins. You will see that the honey has absorbed into your skin. Lastly, wash your face with just ice cold water to close the pores. Honey has anti-bacterial and healing properties. Believe it or not, I had wrinkles on my forehead at the age of 15-17. I did this mask, & they are gone. Seriously, if you keep doing this mask twice a week, you will be shocked at how amazing your skin looks. It will definitely fade away scars, but you will need to do this mask for at least 5 months to see scars fade.

Great tip thanks! You put honey twice in the recipe, is the first one the raw, unprocessed honey, and then 1 tsp of regular liquid honey?

Great idea! would you recommend using a hot cloth to open the pores before you apply the face mask? I'm 21 and have more breakouts more now than ever. Sick of teenage skin now, will try anything to make it go!

Hi sweetheart, I have another method for getting rid of acne. I do this method every night before I go to sleep. After I wash my face with cleanser, I massage castor oil into my skin for 2 minutes. I let it soak into my skin, then I grab a fresh clean face towel and run it under hot water. I let the steam from the water open up my pores and then I place the towel over my face and press it onto my skin. Make sure it's not too hot, you don't want to burn your skin. The castor oil distributes evenly into you skin which pulls out all the bad toxins, dirt, and oil out of your skin & it replaces with good oil. After you're finished the last thing you have to do is wash your face with ice cold water, just water so it can close your pores again & keeps the good oils in. You can order castor oil from ebay or amazon.com it's very hard to find it at stores. make sure it's the Odorless & tasteless organic castor oil. If you do this method for at least 3 months every night, you will see a huge difference in your skin texture, it's much softer, clearer & more radiant. Let me know how it goes. & you can still do the other mask, but I don't recommend that you put a hot towel over it because the cinnamon & lemon juice might sting your skin.

Tanya, no worries love! Don't stress I have a perfect & easy solution for you. I use Biore Pore strips on my nose all the time, it pulls out all the dirt & oil that's trapped in my skin. There also a combo pack which has 7 nose strips & 7 for face. You can use the one for the face on your chin. You leave it on only for 15mins and then take the strip off & rinse your chin with cold water. You can find the strips at your local CVS, Walmart, it runs about $10. It depend how much strips you want. It has directions on the box, but you don't want to do it every day because it can irritate your skin. If you have any other concerns or questions, please don't hesitate to ask me.:)

Dejah, you're too kind. Thank you darling. The only way I could put this out there was if I had tested these masks on my own skin for many years. My mom stops me every day & tells me my skin looks so great compared to what it look like when I was 14-17. She's stunned that my forehead wrinkles are gone.

Sweetheart when you apply mascara don't cringe or make any facial expression to strain your skin. If you do the honey mask, it will take about 6 months. You just have to be consist with taking care of your skin all the time
