DIY Honey and Lemon Mask REMEDY for ACNE MARKS!!!



LET'S GO NATURAL!!!     

So yeah I've been trying to remove my acne marks for months now and it's really getting slow :(

I will post my daily skin routine soon so you will have the idea how much stuff do i use just to get rid of them.

As I've researched I decided to try this DIY Honey and Lemon Mask REMEDY for ACNE PIMPLE Marks and Scars.

Maybe the cure is just available in our kitchen or the regular grocery store.

BENEFITS OF HONEY LEMON MASK

- Clears acne
- Gentle cleansing agent
- Dries out pimple
- Minimizes pore size
- Smooths skin
- Reduces redness and instantly soothes irritation
- Makes skin glow
- Relieves dryness and even flaking
- Honey is a humectant so it hydrates skin
- Brightens skin
- Evens out skin tone ( due to sun damage or blemishes) and helps scarring
- The bacteria cannot live in an environment covered in honey; due to honeys antiseptic qualities


Almost all of my skin problems will be solve by this. (i hope)


Ingredients:
- 1/2 of a real lemon or a few drops of lemon oil (it has the same effect)
- 2 teaspoons of honey (Manuka honey has higher antibacterial properties, but regular honey is fine too).
Directions:
Squeeze 1/2 of the lemon into a bowl, mix in honey and stir until its like cough syrup. Apply mask to freshly cleansed face, Make sure you don’t exfoliate your skin before adding this mask because the lemon juice can make it sting. Let the mask sit for about 20 minutes, and try not to talk. Rinse off with cold water (helps close pores) and pat dry your face. You can do this every morning or every night. Apply a good moisturizer afterwards. Give it some time to see results



ACTUAL ME USING :)


NOTE: This is just my second day of using the mask
PREPARE THINGS YOU NEED:


  • Lemon Juice (squeezed)
  • Honey

Im using Golden Blossom Honey (Genuine Natural Pure Honey) 
(cost like 35$ for 3 in Amazon i guess you can just use regular honey cz i dont have Manuka)


  • Foundation/Concealer Brush

  • Containers

Procedure:

Mix the ingredients. It depends on how do you want your consistency. If you want more lemon or honey its up to you. Its better to make it stickier. (Just my preference)




I already squeezed lemon and placed in lock and lock containers.



Mix them very well



Make sure your face is clean. No make up. 
TIP: use paper towels in wiping your face. Regular Towels might contain bacteria.


Use the brush when applying the mask.
(yeah you can see some pimple marks errr)



FOREHEAD :)




STICKY LOL



MY WHOLE FACE COVERED WITH MASK.


-----THEN WAIT FOR 20 MINS. SOME PEOPLE WAIT FOR AN HOUR OR SO -----


THEN RINSE IT THOROUGHLY


REACTIONS:

-For me, it was not that stingy. Maybe because I dont have an active pimple.
-Stick yes! haha but not that heavy. 
-Waiting time is not that bad. 20mins is like watching two episodes of Sponge Bob 



I just don't know how long should i do this before it works. I plan to do it regularly.
Let's see.


===PATIENCE, PATIENCE, PATIENCE===

Wants to get rid of my ACNE MARKS!!!


I've been researching this couple of months now on how can I have clear skin. Just like you guys, I've tried a lot of products. From Pro-active, Neutrogena, Equate etc..

My skin is not perfect :( sadly lol.. Most women do have acne/pimple during before/after their period. My skin has been Oily/Combination especially during hot or summer season. Right now, it is still winter time here in Virginia and my skin gets really really dry especially after washing it.


TRIVIA: (courtesy of https://www.aad.org/)

  • Acne is the most common skin disorder in the United States, affecting 40 million to 50 million Americans.
  • Nearly 85 percent of all people have acne at some point in their lives, most often on the face, chest, and back.
  • By mid-teens, more than 40 percent of adolescents have acne or acne scarring, which requires treatment by a dermatologist.


MY CURRENT SKIN PROBLEMS:

1. Getting Acne Before/After Period
2. Acne Marks (ughhh)
3. Uneven skin tone. ---- this is the hardest. I think my side cheeks are darker than my whole face.
4. Dry Skin. (cold season)
5. Oily during warm hot season
6. Scar dents/bumps
7. Redness in some parts (minimal problem)

CONS: I dont have wrinkles yet haha ( i think)
One thing I have learned from this is that:

"NEVER POP A PIMPLE"

Everyone wants to have a clear skin eh? haha :)
Sorry i am just really obsess in this.
