Beauty is skin deep

So lately I have suffered from some very unsightly acne. It's been so bad that my sweet 5year old daughter was very excited to tell me about proactive when she seen the commercial. She said mom you just use 2 white bottles and 1 blue one and it takes all you bumps away and makes you happy. On that note the advertisement for the proactive did a great job because that was exactly how my daughter felt for me. At first I wasn't super bothered by my acne but when she mentioned it, I became really self conscious about it and now I feel like everyone is staring at my very large bumps. So I've scoured Pinterest for a good natural remedy and found one that seemed easy enough. You combined honey and cinnamon to make a paste-like consistency and slather it on the affected area leave on for 15 min then rinse with luke-warm water. We leave for a one week vacation to the Big Island in 10 days so i'm going to try this concoction to see if it makes a difference. I've already did it today and my face smells good and is pretty soft so we will see as time goes on.

  1. I feel your pain and went through something similar in my late 20's.. I was beginning to think I allergic to sweat (no need to go into detail ) :).. It was so bad that I didn't even want to go out in public. I tried Proactive and can say it did the job!!! I use it now on occasion if I have a bad break. I did learn two lessons out of that ordeal. 1) I need to keep my hands off my face.. that’s a bad habit of mine. 2) I now take better care of my face in terms of washing, moisturizing, and FACIALS :)

    Hope your concoction works!
