Natural Acne Solutions: Aloe Vera Plant

Lily Of The Desert - Aloe Vera Juice Whole Leaf, 1 Gallon liquid

Aloe is a succulent plant whose leaves contain numerous vitamins, minerals, enzymes and amino acids. It's popular for healing wounds and soothing sunburns. As a natural skincare ingredient, it can add moisture, eliminate free radicals that causes skin aging, kill bacteria and fade acne scars.

You can use the leaves fresh by taking out the clear gel inside, extracting the juice and massaging it directly on your face. Just be sure to wash away the yellow-green sticky substance called aloin because it can irritate the skin and can produce unwanted side-effects.

Aubrey Organics - 100% Pure Aloe Vera Gel, 4 fl oz gel

Or you can buy processed aloe vera juice and gel if you don't have a live aloe plant. Others also recommend drinking aloe vera juice or taking aloe vera capsules for overall good health.

During the early times, honey has been used to treat infected wounds and heal burns. Ancient Egyptians also used it for embalming the dead. Today, medical experts are rediscovering the potent antibacterial and antiseptic properties of honey.

OTC Acne Solutions: Clarisonic Plus System & Spot Therapy Kit For Face and Body

This is what people is saying about Clarisonic Plus System & Spot Therapy Kit For Face and Body : "The Clarisonic Plus utilizes the same technology as the Sonicare toothbrush. It uses vibration to penetrate the surface level of the skin and provide a more thorough cleansing than with soap and water alone.
