Honey Oatmeal Facial

This all-natural facial is a great way to improve your skin if you suffer from acne, acne scarring, or dark spots. Honey is a natural anti-bacterial; therefore it can kill some of the acne causing bacteria on your skin without irritation from the harsh chemicals found in most acne products. Also, honey naturally helps reduce inflammation and moisturizes the skin, so it won't dry out your skin like most topical acne products do. Oatmeal on the other hand has natural bleaching abilities that can help reduce the appearance of dark spots and discoloration. Mixing the two and adding a couple drops of lemon, which is both a natural antibacterial and bleaching agent (but too acidic to be used on its own), can work wonders on your skin. It is a simple, natural,  and inexpensive way to pamper yourself and clear up your skin. I highly recommend you give it a try if you are dealing with breakouts and the unwanted scarring left behind by them.

Now here is what you will need:

2 Table spoons oatmeal (crushed)
1 Table spoon All Natural Honey
5 drops of lemon

Just mix the ingredients in a bowl to form a paste, and apply on your face. If the mixture appears too thick add a bit more honey, if it appears too liquid-y add just a bit more oatmeal. You want to leave this on your face for about thirty minutes and then rinse off with warm water (just water, no cleansers because you don't want to wash out all the good stuff that went in your skin). It is very simple to do and leaves your skin feeling great so I hope you give it a try, good luck!(:
