Beauty DIY - How Do You Get Rid of Your Acne?

Acne and pimples are pains in the ass. They keep popping up unexpectedly and make you feel you have no control over them. So annoying.
  Are you spending your small fortune on luxury products to fight acne? You really do not need to. Right in your kitchen are recipes that can clear your acne naturally and they are easy to make and not time consuming.
  I wish i knew about this recipes some years ago. Anyway, better late than never.

The key ingredients in the recipes are Honey, Lemon juice and Egg white.

What are the benefits of these ingredients?

Honey
Honey has antiseptic, antibacterial and antiinflammatory properties. It also has antioxidants that fight off free radicals which causes aging. Honey keeps the skin hydrated and moisturized.

Lemon Juice
Lemon juice is known to be a great astringent that kills acne-causing bacteria. It also acts as skin toner, reduces discolorations from blemishes and acne scars. Its a natural skin lightener.

Egg white
Egg white is great for skin tightening to help reduce large pores, where acne causing bacteria breeds. It also repairs skin tissues and reduce wrinkles.

Here are the recipes:

No.1 Lemon-Honey facial scrub

Ingredients
Lemon (you can choose to chill it a bit).
1tsp honey

Directions
Cut the lemons into half.
Drop the honey on the halt-cut lemon.
Rub the lemon and honey on your face in circular motion avoiding the ey area. You can rub over lips too.
Leave it on for 10 minutes.
Wash off with cool water and pat dry.

*This scrub is top on the list of scrubs effective against acne. Use it often and your acne, pimple and dark spots will disappear.


No.2 Egg White Face Tightening Mask


Ingredients
1 Egg white
1tsp lemon juice
1tsp honey

Directions
Mix the egg white with the lemon juice well.
Add the honey and mix thoroughly.
Apply the mixture on the face from the chin upward to the cheek and forehead avoiding the eye area and mouth. You can protect your hairline too.
Then relax for 15 minutes or more to allow the mixture to dry.
Gently wash off with lukewarm water. All the particles still come off gradually so be gentle to your skin.
Pat dry.

These mask will leave your face smooth and glowy.

How often can you use this?
Once or twice a week.

Note: Cleanse your face first to remove the sweat, dirt and grime before using the scrub and mask.

For me
Once in a week, I do the lemon-honey facial scrub after cleansing my face with coconut oil, unless am trying out something else new. Depending on how I feel, I do the egg-white masking immediately after the scrub or the next night.  I feel good when I see good results. I can wear my skin comfortably nowadays to work from Monday to Friday without makeup. Its like a miracle.. People who know me few years back do commend my new improved look.

Extra
Resist the temptation to touch your face frequently because the palm always picks up a lot of dirt and microbes. So when you touch your face often, you drop them there. God knows they ain't there to do any good.
Additionally, get a good skin care routine (cleansing, toning, moistyurising) and eat healthy.
