How I left my acne behind

circa 2012 when my face was exploding 

Just like millions of adults before me and millions to follow, I suffered from acne for quite a while. Surprisingly  enough I didn't have bad skin as a teen, but for some reason once I hit 21 my face flipped out on me. I don't know if it was hormones or what, but it was awful. It took a serious toll on my confidence. I tried literally every over the counter face wash you could get,and nothing worked. I even tried vitamins for hair skin and nails, but the biotin only made my acne worse. I searched the interwebs for all kinds of DIY remedies, only to come up empty handed. I had given up and just figured I would grow out of it.  Until one day my friend, who had suffered from acne for as long as I could remember, made a post on social media about her skin care routine. To my surprise her  sercret was organic honey!

Organic honey was the secret to her beautiful skin. At first I couldn't understand how putting a sugar on your face could possibly make your skin better. But, I figured that I had tried so many other products it couldn't possibly hurt to try a little honey. At least if it didn't work, I could just out it in my tea or something, right? So I gave it a shot, and HONEY! Let me tell you!! My skin has never been better!!! I have been using raw organic honey to clean my face every day for about 2 years now, and I will never go back to regular facial cleansers. Honey has antibacterial properties that gently cleanse the pores. It also doesn’t contain any of the harsh chemicals found in facial cleansers. Every morning and night I wash my face with honey. After cleansing my face I use witch hazel as a toner (my friend uses green tea) and follow up with avacado oil to lock in the moisture. In addition to washing my face daily with organic honey, every week or two I do a face mask with bentonite clay. That stuff is the TRUTH! After a 20 minute mask my face looks so smooth and bright it’s amazing.  So, my love bugs, ditch over the counter facial cleansers and give the natural approach a try.

Just lipstick and eyeliner. No need
for concealer!!
