Cure Acne + Scars with Lemon Juice and Rosewater


  • Mix equal parts lemon juice and rose water. (I personally love Younique's Rose Water - it's vegan and super refreshing.)
  • Apply directly to skin. You might feel an initial sting from the lemon juice.
  • Rinse after 15-30 minutes.

Why It Works
Rose water is a natural astringent that doesn't dry out your skin since it contains no alcohol. It helps balance your skin's pH level & tightens pores. Lemon juice - also a natural astringent - removes blackheads, fades scars & age spots, brightens your skin tone and exfoliates dead skin. Think of lemon juice as a natural antibacterial cleanser that fights breakouts.

DIY: Cinnamon Face Mask for Acne!



The honey in the mask is a natural humectant, giving skin the moisture it needs. Cinnamon gently exfoliates your skin, and nutmeg acts as a natural anti-inflammatory, which can help reduce redness and swelling. The mask soothes the skin and helps prevent infection.

You'll need:
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. nutmeg
2 tsp. honey

Directions:
Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl. (The mask will be a thick paste.) Apply the mask to your face with your fingertips and let sit for 15 minutes. Wash the mask off with warm water, gently rubbing in a circular motion to exfoliate.
