Lemon & Honey Blackhead Treatment

Blackheads are gross. Most people get a couple in their lifetime, or maybe you have them all the time - either or, they are gross. I'm sure most of us have used those pore strips that rip them out of your face. Sometimes they work and sometimes they don't...

What is a blackhead?

Aside from a gross black mark on your face, honestly...it's just that! A blackhead is a small black mark (like a blemish) that appears on the surface of your skin. The most common locations are the face, back and ears - though they can occur anywhere on the body. The appear most often in these 3 locations due to the large number of sweat glands that are located in these regions.

What causes blackheads?

Clogged glands or pores
Horomones
Poor diet
Oily skin
Oily Hair

I think it's a given that you need to wash your face (I personally recommend 2 times a day,) wash your hair and eat healthy...but how do you get rid of those pesky ones that just won't let loose?!


What you need:

Half a lemon (it can be juiced)
3 drops of honey


Drop the honey on the lemon and rub the lemon all over your face, focusing on the areas that need the most help (aka nose, chin, lips...etc)

Let set for 5 minutes and then rinse with cool water.


My review: OMG! The results were INSTANT! You know how you can feel the blackheads when you rub your finger over your nose (or infected area?) 
After I did this - my nose was SMOOTH for the first time in...well...FOREVER! 
I'm TOTALLY doing this a couple times a week.

I'd LOVE to hear your results. Please post! I want to know if you had the same results!

xoxo

  2. I just tried it, my face is really smooth after it :)
    But there's an annoying thing, when you rub the lemon on your face, the honey will get stuck in the 1st area, and then you have to bring back the lemon to this area, and take honey to other areas.

  4. Having acne does not qualify you as an acne expert. Honestly speaking, most acne sufferer's biggest mistake is thinking that acne is not a serious skin condition.

  5. Excellent remedy! I have not tried this combination but have tried both honey and lemon separately for cystic acne and blackheads. I really like your method, it seems pretty easy and no fuss/no mess which I really like! I can't wait to try it out. I have been dealing with blackheads for many years and have tried many, many differernt products both over the counter and prescription. NOthing seems to work long term. I try to research as many remedies and clinical studies about what causes acne and black heads so that I can be better at prevention. You're reader might get some additional information from some reputable sites like
