Honey Acne Treatment – Bye Bye South America

Friday morning I woke up with a country on my chin!  Pimples had formed there in the shape of a mini South America. I was planning on having a BBQ on the week-end so I wanted to get rid of the pimples fast.

I first gently exfoliated the “small land mass” by cleansing it with a mild soapy solution applied to a wash cloth. Like always, I was careful not to rub too hard with the wash cloth or it will make it worse. But this does help to open the pores.

Then I tried out a simple natural trick that involves putting on a dab of honey with a band-aid and covering it over night. It really seems to draw the bacteria out and it helps with redness.

The barbecue was Sunday night, and it went off without a hitch.  My mini South America was hardly noticeable even by me (and I’m extra critical) so I doubt anyone else noticed at all.
