Honey Wheat Acne Cure

pubertad

The proportions for this remedy are not given, so you’ll have to experiment a bit. Here’s the recipe:

  • Mix wheat-flour
  • With honey and vinegar
  • Put on the pimples at night before going to bed

Note:

I assume that upon arising, you will need to wash it off and the pimples will be gone, or at least reduced.
