Your Skin's Best Friend - Raw Sugar, Honey, Witch Hazel, and Vitamin E

Friends, I'd like to share with you a simple and easy way to get rid of blemishes and skin discolorations on your face. This is a great routine to do each night. If you don't see a difference within 2 weeks, then you can return to this blog to cuss me out. You don't need expensive treatments. All you need to do is visit your local natural foods and health store for this easy remedy. Here's what you need:

1) CLEANSE -  First, wash your face with a natural and moisturizing cleanser. My favorite is Burt's Bees Soap Bark and Chamomile Deep Cleansing Cream. Also, African Black Soap is another good one.

2) EXFOLIATE - Next take about 1/4 cup of raw honey and 1/2 of raw sugar. Combine both ingredients into a small bowl. Then take the mixture and apply this natural scrub to your face. Gently rub it on in small circular motions being careful not to get it in your eyes, and try not to eat it :) Leave this mixture on for a minute or two, as long as you can stand it. Raw sugar contains glycolic acid which fights discoloration and helps to restore the skin's natural oils. Raw honey contains healing antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that protect the skin and stimulates new tissue growth.

3) CLARIFY - Next clarify with natural Witch Hazel astringent. You can find this at any local drugstore. Just make sure it's 100% witch hazel. Take a few cotton balls and using a liberal amount, wipe all around your face. This removes any excess grease and dirt, without drying the skin. Witch hazel is also known to reduce redness and sooths irritation of the skin.

4) MOISTURIZE - Finally, take pure Vitamin E oil and apply all over your face. The best brand out is Nature's Bounty Natural Vitamin E Oil, 30,000 IU. Vitamin E is an antioxidant and aids in skin cell regeneration. Even if you have oily skin, don't be afraid to apply this oil to your face. Allowing it to soak in overnight will remove the blemishes, the pimples, and any other skin problems. Trust me.

In the morning, wash your face, and use your favorite moisturizer (as long as it's natural!). I guarantee if you follow the above steps, you'll have beautiful, clear skin in no time!
