Two Acne Fighters From Your Kitchen

Here are two simple and inexpensive ways to fight acne and other nasties. A few minutes in the kitchen, and ... voila!
#1: Avocado Eye Cream

5 drops almond oil
3 ripe avocado slices

Blend almond oil into avocado. Dab around eyes and leave on for 5 minutes. Rinse.

#2: Carrot Mask (For Oily Skin)

Carrots make an excellent skin mask for acne and blemishes. There are two ways to use carrots.

* RAW CARROT MASK: Apply raw, grated carrots to the face while lying down - a little lemon juice may also be added.

* COOKED CARROT MASK: Boil three large carrots and mash them, or process in a food processor. Add 5 tablespoons of honey or yogurt. Apply gently, in an upward motion. Leave on for 15-20 minutes. Rinse with warm water. Finish with a final rinse of witch hazel or the vinegar water.

You can either hold yourself up to the unrealistic standards of others, or ignore them and concentrate on being happy with yourself as you are.
