   organic fruit acne care
   well make a banana mask its good because it gets rid of bad bacteria and gives good bacteria
   ~ banana, honey, and lemon (if u have a lot of acne don’t put a lot of lemon cause it will sting

   also get aloe vera leaves, and put the gel on ur skin at night and wash it off the next morning
   (avoid yellow gel this makes skin itchy for 5 min)
   aloe make skin nice and pimples get smaller each time of use

   ive used lemon before by spreading in on my acne this stings a lot but makes pimples smaller (use it at night and wash off next morning)

   Egg masks are awesome and super cheap:) You can do this daily. You need:
   1 egg
   1 teaspoon of warm honey

   First off, cleanse your face with a gentle cleanser. Pat dry.
   Separate the egg white and yolk. Place each in a separate bowl. KEEP the egg shells.
   Put the egg yolk and shells aside, for now.
   Put the teaspoon of warm honey into the egg whites. Mix the egg whites and honey until frothy.
   Use a cotton pad, cotton ball, or fingers to apply the egg whites to your face.
   Now, take the egg shells and peel the inner skin off. Place the skin of the egg on your face (over the whites) onto your problem areas.
   Wait about 20 minutes or wait until the whites dry completely.
   Take a warm wash cloth and gently wash off the whites and peel off the egg skin. Pat your face dry.

   Then take the egg yolks and apply it all over your face– again using a cotton ball, pad, or your finger tips.
   Wait until the egg yolks dry. It’ll feel like concrete in a way.
   Gently wash off the egg yolks with a warm washcloth and warm water. After completely rinsing off the yolks splash some cold water on your face to close your pores.
   Pat dry. Apply moisturizer if needed. The egg yolks are a natural moisturizer along with the honey.

   Exfoliating scrub. You should exfoliate once a week to remove the dead skin cells. Twice a week if you have oily skin.
   You will need the following:
   1/2 cup of granulated sugar. No Splenda.
   3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
   2 tablespoons of pure honey.

   Poor the 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil into a small dish. Then poor in the 2 tablespoons of honey. Mix in 1/2 cup of granulated sugar. Combine all the ingredients.

   Take a small amount (one teaspoon about) of this mixture.
   Spread it on your face and GENTLY with the tips of your fingers massage your skin. If it’s too thick to massage, dip your fingers in some water.
   Use circular motions avoiding the eye area. Your eyes are extremely delicate. Don’t use your palms to massage, they’re too rough.
   Keep massaging the mixture on your face for about 1 minute.
   Rinse off gently with water while exfoliating still at the same time. After getting all of the sugar off you can use a warm, damp washcloth to gently wipe off the oil.
   The extra virgin olive oil and honey should have moisturized your face. Apply extra moisturizer if you feel dry still.
   This is great during the winter months when you may tend to have dry skin.

   And as some said before, lemon is good. Do this before you go to bed:
   Squeeze out some fresh lemon juice into a bowl or onto a plate.
   Take a cotton pad or ball and apply it onto your acne. It may sting and get a little itchy.
   Allow it to dry.
   Then take a napkin or paper towel and rip a small piece large enough to cover your problem areas.
   Dip it on the lemon juice and apply to the spot.
   Go to bed then when you wake up peel off the napkin piece.
   The napkin prevents bacteria from coming in contact with the spot while the lemon cleanses.
