Acne Scars!

Oh those horrible little creatures! Acne scars are killers and a pain to get rid of.
The average teen/ person suffering from acne scars attempt to get rid of them with over the counter products.
News Flash! - Those could do more harm than you think! Read the ingredients and tell me if you understand everything on there! I'll tell you right now, I don't get it at all.
I found that making my own acne remover/ facial mask works best. :)

NOTE: This mask is made with ingredients that are natural and good for your skin!

Ingredients Needed:
  • Sugar
  • Honey
  • Organic/ Regular Apple Cinder Vinegar (NOT PLAIN VINEGAR!!!)
  • Green Tea
How To:
  1. 1 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar in a small/ medium sized bowl
  2. Add 2 tsp Green Tea (sensitive skin should use about 3 teaspoons)
  3. Add 5 tsp Sugar and mix
  4. Add 1 tsp Honey
  5. Mix well.
  6. Add 2 more tsp of Sugar (follow this order please!)
Use enough to cover your entire face and keep the rest in the fridge ^_^
Rub the mask gently massaging it on your face for TOPS 5 min. After, let it sit on your face for about 10 more minutes then rise it off :)

This worked wonders for my skin, I really recommend it!

Aaah the teenage years... Wonderful and full of... ZITS!?
Yes, that kill-me moment when you find an unwelcomed guest mingling on your face.
Lovely huh? Yea... I don't think so either. Oh! And don't even get me started on those acne- scars!
Those little devils that just won't go away! Troubles, troubles, troubles..

Thankfully, I've picked up some great tricks to help you out! So put that cover up down or whatever else you're doing away and listen up!

Some handy tips I've learned for zits:
  • NEVER forget to wash your face! Throughout the day your face collects dirt and a whole bunch of other grossness. Twice a day should work out great! In the morning, use cool water to wake your skin up and get it circulating. Before you go to bed, do the same with warm water. Doing this will reduce the chances of breakouts.
  • If you do have a pimple, using lime juice actually helps get rid of it quicker. The acidity  of the lime cleans out the area and if you let the juice sit and dry on your face for about 5-8 minutes the results are better. When you wash it off, be thorough! I cannot stress that enough.
  •  Using facial masks are wonderful! They keep your skin nice and smooth and its great for on the go. It dries fast and its quick, easy and fun to peel off (I know, I'm weird...)!

odd jokes and funny stares from the other asians in the store...
