Just wanted to share something with you guys.
I have been battling with acne for awhile. It gets very bad because of the digestive problems I'm having.. really kind of stinks because I already feel like crap, I don't wanna look like crap too.
Anyways, I stopped using all commercial acne cleansers because they either don't work at all or work too well and dry my face out which just makes it worse.
I started looking up natural remedies and found out that people used to put honey on wounds to cleanse them. So I started putting honey on my face, I'd leave it on for a few minutes and rinse. It helped a little but not that much.
I've tried the local honey for the past two days and WOW my face is clearing up, getting smooth.. less oily. Sometimes I add lemon juice, freshly squeezed, it kind of helps even out any red areas you might have.
I even make a mask using those ingredients and 1 egg white once a week.
The one big thing to remember is.. try not to give your parrot a big cuddle while you have honey all over your face. It's extremely messy.
