Treat Mild Acne

Do you have acne, but it's not very bad and you're still looking for a method to rid of it? Here are some alternatives.

Basil Method

 * 1) Boil at least one cup of clean water.
 * 2) Once water boils, add 3 tbsp. of basil and boil/simmer uncovered for about 10-15 minutes.
 * 3) Pour the basil water into a cup or bowl and cool enough that it is comfortable on sensitive skin.
 * 4) Slowly pour the basil water onto a cheese cloth over a bowl. This will separate the leaves from the water so you won't have basil leaves sticking to your face.
 * 5) Apply all over acne areas.

Honey and Soap Method

 * 1) Obtain a mild soap, for example Caress Daily Silk.
 * 2) Wash your face with warm water in the morning and night.
 * 3) Microwave some honey for 10 sec.
 * 4) Apply to your pimples.
 * 5) Once a week, put a hot towel on your face, wash with mild soap, then rinse with cold water.

Tips

 * Drink water.
 * You may also put water into a tea kettle and as soon as it steams pour into a cup and add 3 tbsp of basil.
 * You may prefer to apply at night, because it can cause your face to smell like basil all day. If you apply at night you can simply wash it off in the morning.
 * You can store the basil water in a water bottle for a few weeks, as long as it is refrigerated.

Warnings

 * Don't burn your face!
 * Don't pop a zit. It will come back worse than it was, and you will be forever scarred (no pun intended!).
 * Microwave the honey only for 10 seconds.
 * Caution: clear skin may cause extreme confidence and hotness.

Things You'll Need

 * Basil, preferably dried, like the kind used for seasoning.
 * Honey
 * Soap
