Cure Breakouts With Mint

Hey y’all! Hope your Saturday is going well. So today I am heading to a fashion show at the mall here in Las Vegas. I am writing this so quickly as my hair is drying and I multi-tasking trying to think what the hell I am going to wear.

That’s blogger life right????? A million things happening at once, but first… post on the blog.

This week, Lily and I have been under the weather. Lil had to get on an antibiotic for an ear infection AND because her toe got infected?!? (So odd!) I started feeling crummy too and on top of that the sides of my face were breaking out, which brings me to the topic of this blog post.

Growing up I had really bad acne. I had acne all over my face, my chest, my back and my arms.

I tried everything to cure my breakouts, but I didn’t know much about natural remedies. I actually thought that my skin was too problematic for natural remedies, and that they wouldn’t be strong enough.

As I grew older, I was introduced to a healthier lifestyle and I became really interested in natural cures. A friend introduced me to essential oils and I realized just how powerful these natural oils are! I wish I had known more about using plants as medicine when I was a teenager because I’m sure I would have been able to forgo many of the prescription drugs I used to treat my acne.

One really easy way to cure breakouts is by applying Lemon and Mint!

Lemon works to calm redness caused by inflammation, and mint is a natural antibiotic that eliminates bacteria.

Forget using harsh chemicals; try this natural remedy – it’s so easy too!
