Just wanted to share something with you guys.
I have been battling with acne for awhile. It gets very bad because of the digestive problems I'm having.. really kind of stinks because I already feel like crap, I don't wanna look like crap too.
Anyways, I stopped using all commercial acne cleansers because they either don't work at all or work too well and dry my face out which just makes it worse.
I started looking up natural remedies and found out that people used to put honey on wounds to cleanse them. So I started putting honey on my face, I'd leave it on for a few minutes and rinse. It helped a little but not that much.
I've tried the local honey for the past two days and WOW my face is clearing up, getting smooth.. less oily. Sometimes I add lemon juice, freshly squeezed, it kind of helps even out any red areas you might have.
I even make a mask using those ingredients and 1 egg white once a week.
The one big thing to remember is.. try not to give your parrot a big cuddle while you have honey all over your face. It's extremely messy.

Good grief...face full of honey ......and birds..... thats like tempting some awful kinda fate. Nae acne but nae eyes as birds have eaten u:eek:

ach jokin aside we used it in hospital especially good with stab wounds. egg white also great for bed sores paint on and let dry..protien .. maggots and leeches still in use . So theres no cure like an old cure..I remember my husband weeping with laughter when he came home from the pub and I had half a grilled onion strapped to my head witha sock but heh the ear ache cleared

Have you ever considered birth control pills? It works great aswell, i got it when i was umm, i think 17, cant remember. My face was also a big mess, and i started showing signs of acne, also redness. There is birth control pills and then there is also birth control with something that helps your face. PM me if your interested, it really does work. Natural remedies are great, but here its a bit difficult to find certain stuff.

LOL, you guys are too funny. Yeah i have a acne issue also... mostly on my back though... B.C. didnt help me any, and you cant be on and acne pill of any sort while on B.C. because they react with each other causing neither to work. I want to try that Proactive stuff, i have heard so many good things about it, and not from the TV, from people I know
I think if I put honey on my face I would then need a face transplant from my dog eating me :D
