Guys, I think I found something cheap and easy that actually clears up your face!
Lets start from the beginning. This guy from Spain came to the city to give some speeches and stuff. My mom went to see him and bought his book on natural cures and stuff. I started looking through it and got to the acne section. He says that lemon juice works wonders, and it does. It really does. It is the lemon's acidic properties and the fact that its an antibiotic that work. At first I didn't want to try it, but I was so desperate because nothing seemed to work with me that I tried it. And it really works! Here's what you have to do. About an hour before you go to sleep wash your face with a mild cleanser to take away all the oil and dirt and makeup and all the good stuff. Then, take a lemon and cut it in half. Take one half and rub it all over your face and leave it on for an hour. Then after that, wash that off and squeeze the juice out of the lemon. Take that and wash your face with it (Watch your eyes. It *stings*  ). Don't wash it off and don't dry it. Let the juice air dry and sleep with it on. Again, this *works*. This is coming from someone who's had acne problems since as long as I can remember, and this crap actually works.One thing. If you're gonna try it, do it on a day when you're sure you won't go anywhere the next day. There's the possibility that your skin might dry up or get an allergic reaction or something, so, if you have nothing to do the next day, go ahead and try it! |

Can you use the lemon juice that you buy in the little containers? or do you have to actually use a lemon?

Nowadays hardly anything you eat is completely natural, hehe, but the actual lemon is better because it has less funky stuff and more of the natural stuff. |

But yeh, sounds interesting so I might just try it

Although I probably will do only a patch test the first day because I dont want a big red rash across my face. Gross.
