Acne or pimple issue? Well look no further! Kitchen ingredients are comming to the rescue!

Many people suffer from acne and end up spending hundreds of dollars trying new and expensive products. But no one can do that in this economy. If you're one of those people, then read on.

ALOE VERA-Did you know pure aloe vera gel (found inside the plant; it's a clear gel) can help prevent pimples, acne and scarring? That's right. The stuff your parents used to slab on your face when you were little and sunburned! It helps to grow some in your backyard, and the up side? It's not expensive at all!

That's all nice things, but can we make the process faster? You bet!

Here are a list of some masks  and scrubs you can try:
-Baking Soda scrub
-Apple Cider Vinegar mask
-Green Tea mask
-Asprin mask
-Tomato scrub

NOTE: For any of these masks, if you are allergic to honey, use aloe vera, and lemon is optional.

Baking Soda scrub- This one's easy! Take 3 tablespoons of baking soda and add water until it's a paste. Take your fingers and dab some onto your face. NOTE: Use only your fingers, not your palms and use gentle, circular motions. You may need more or less of the baking soda. Measurements may vary. Wash off as soon as you're done covering your face. *The baking soda exfoliates the skin and helps soak up oils, cleaning the skin of impurities*

Apple cider vinegar mask- What you need: 2 teaspoon of green  tea, 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar, 1 squirt of honey, and sugar. Make the green tea and wait until it's cool. Mix with the apple cider vinegar, honey, and add sugar until it is a paste. Finally, using a cotton pad, use gentle, circular motions to dab onto face. Leave on for 10 minutes. **I'm not going to lie to you. It does not have be best smell, so I suggest you use it at night! Also, I cannot stress how important it is to use APPLE CIDER vinegar and not vinegar. Vinegar is too strong for you precious skin!*

Green Tea mask- To make a green tea mask, you need a green tea tea bag, 3 teaspoon of hot water, sugar, and half lemon. Make the green tea, wait until it's cool, add sugar until it is a paste, then add the lemon juice. Remember to use fingers, not palms, and use  gentle,circular motions. Rinse off after 10 minutes.

Asprin mask- To make an asprin mask, you need: Powered asprin or non coated asprin, 2 teaspoons of water, and honey. Simply add water and a squirt of honey (For coated asprin, wait until it has desolved). Apply to face as you would for the baking soda scrub. Leave on for 10 minutes and rinse off.

Tomato scrub- To make: Slice off the top of a ripe tomato, cover it with sugar and use gentle, circular motions to scrub face. Use the stem to hold. Apply more sugar throughout scrubbing face if needed. Leave on for 5 minutes and rinse off.


Remember to wash your face before starting any of these! By the way, to effectively take off eye makup, use extra virgin olive oil.

Goodluck! :D
