The Lovely Lemon

I was looking at YouTube today and saw a lot of videos about acne scaring and how to get rid of it, but no one really seamed to have a solid solution so hear are my thoughts from my experience.When it comes to acne the first mistake that so many people make, including my self, is to pick at it. That is what causes permanent scaring and that's what you don't want. It can also make the acne you do have worse. 

The first thing to do is to avoid touching the affected area. Massage in a small amount of Castor oil, it helps to soften the the skin and remove impurities. Cleanse the area with warm water and a mild soap. Use a cotton round and put a little lemon juice and apply to your face for up to 20 minutes for sensitive skin dilute with a little water. The last step is to reduce the redness and moisturize. Use a slice or two of cucumber and apply to the red or swollen area. Follow up with the moisturizer of your choice and be sure to SPF.
