What you need:
An equal amount of lemon juice and apple cider vinegar (depending on how much you want to make, a small squirt should do)
Honey
Mix the lemon juice and vinegar together and apply directly onto the clean, affected area. Once it's on the pimple apply a small amount of honey.
The lemon juice and vinegar will help to kill the bacteria and reduce the inflammation and redness while the honey forms a barricade from the elements. Honey is also antibacterial.
If you wish to sleep with this on your face and you're not a back sleeper I would suggest putting a band aid over the top just to protect your pillowcases, although honey does dry so it won't stay sticky all night.
I never would have thought that 3 things that I have in my pantry could be used for something like it! Interesting!
ReplyDeletewhat is your chronic illness? Does being green help with it? I ask because I'm in the process of being diagnosed with MS .
ReplyDeleteI have Lupus and Fibromyalgia. Although, I may end up being diagnosed with MS as well. Being green doesn't make it all go away but I do believe that it's the safest way to go. I have a lot of chemical sensitivities and being green really helps. If you're interested I also have a blog dealing with my illnesses http://bydls.onsugar.com
