acne acne go away
come again an other day
wait..what?
If you're an acne sufferer such as myself, then you can understand just how frustrating it is trying to find that "miracle cure" that "vanishes" all your pimples, zits, cysts, and of course, acne scarring.
While browsing the net I came across an odd at home remedy for acne and oily/greasy skin.
Lemon Juice!!!
Yes.. lemon juice...
I must admit, I was very sceptical because, let's be honest, lemon juice? It sounds so sticky and gross... But after I tried it, I couldn't stop!
It stings & itches like crazy so consider yourself warned.. But the after effects (in my opinion) ARE TOTALLY WORTH IT!
How I incorporated lemon juice into my daily facial cleanse routine:
**the lemon juice is very drying so I wouldn't encourage ladies with dry skin to try this one..
1. wash face with a light exfoliating scrub
2. soak a cotton ball in lemon juice (fresh or in the yellow squeezy bottle. your choice. doesn't matter)
3. apply the soaked cotton ball all over your face as you would with a toner
4. PREPARE FOR THE BURN / ITCHING (to help with this step I like to blow dry my face on the lowest setting while holding the cold air tab.. very refreshing)
5. once dry, apply an oil-free facial moisturizer (preferably with SPF - the lemon juice will (over time) make your skin more sensitive to sun burns)
After only a couple of days using the lemon juice I have noticed a HUGE improvement in my T-zone! The lemon juice is also helpful in blasting those annoying blackheads!
