From Tips and Steps
Ever heard the proverb, "You are what you eat"? Maybe instead of slathering your skin in store-bought creams that sometimes make your condition worse, try using an ingredient from your kitchen: nutmeg.
Steps
- Obtain some nutmeg, ground or whole, and put it into a small container - if whole, grate or grind it.
- Just before you go to bed, mix the ground nutmeg with some water or milk until it becomes a paste.
- Wash your face and pat dry.
- Dab the paste on to your pimples.
- Wait until nutmeg-paste is dry.
- Put a small towel on your pillow to catch any stains while you're sleeping.
- Go to bed and in the morning, see the results.
Tips
- Wash the small towel when necessary.
- Gentle enough to use every night.
- This works best when acne is due to oily skin.
- Use water to get the paste off your face.
Warnings
- Don't get frustrated if this remedy doesn't work out perfectly the first time.
- If you are allergic to nutmeg do not try.
Things You'll Need
