While I am being a cripple at home,
decided to whip up a home-made facial.
Because lets face it... staying home as a working
adult is not nearly as fun
as it is when you are a grade-schooler.
I've watched every Disney movie I possess.
So hence, the facial experiment. Which worked quite nice actually.
I used my ceramic juicer and juiced half a lemon, then
warmed a spoonful of raw honey in the microwave
for 30 seconds, then whisked the
two together with a pinch of baking soda.
I slathered the mixture all over and then placed a
warm towel over my face. I waited for about
20 minutes and rinsed with warm water....
Viola!
Smoooooooooooooth skin.
The next day, the lemon juice had
helped dry some of my breakouts I noticed.
(I get horrible breakouts... perfect skin during
my awkward teenage years when
I didn't do my
makeup so well. What gives?!)
I'd recommend giving it a try if you want some smoother skin and
like me, you are bored.
Lemon juice is an acid, so it will naturally
exfoliate your skin by removing a layer or two
of your epidermis.
Honey is also a great moisturizer and does have
antimicrobial properties (one of my
nursing history books talks about how
good ole' honey was a classic
remedy before lovely penicillin came along).
Maybe tomorrow I will think of a home remedy to
fix my aching knee and back so
I can return to work. I don't know how
I'll last till next Monday.
