The Ultimate DIY Guide For Destroying That Pimple!

WE ALL HATE ACNE!

Hello again everyone! This will be my last post for the end of this quarter and I wanted it to be special. Today I will be giving you the ULTIMATE GUIDE for destroying any kind of pimple that you may have on your face. Let me know how some of these work in the comment section or if you have any other ideas on how to get rid of a stubborn pimple!

1. Apply ice cubes for a few minutes. Freezing the pimple will shrink the overall size of it.

2. Rub on garlic for three minutes (might burn). This will dry out the pimple making it appear smaller.

3. Dab on some Listerine. Listerine is a great way to really clean deep and get whatever is causing that pimple out of there!

4. Make a face mask out of egg whites, leave it on for fifteen minutes to soak up the oil.

5. Use some eyedrops to help reduce redness.

6. Apply the gel from an Advil pill for several minutes. This will help make it heal fast.

7. Mix aspirin tablets and water together until it becomes a paste, leave mask on for ten minutes. This mask also helps heal and reduce a pimple’s size.

8. Leave toothpaste on overnight to once again, reduce the size.

9. Apply pepto-bismol for a few minutes. This one I have never tried but my sister has!
10. Rub the inside of a banana peel onto pimple, keep it on for thirty minutes. This one is better for people with more sensitive or delicate skin.

11. Apply oatmeal, or an oatmeal mask for fifteen minutes. Not only is oatmeal good for acne, but it will really soften your skin!

12. Rub the inside of tomatoes on your face twice a day. If you can do this consistently, I promise those stubborn things will leave!

13. Leave a spoonful or honey and yogurt for fifteen minutes. I do this even when I don’t have a pimple because it’s amazing for your skin!

14. Put a mixture of two tablespoons of honey and one tablespoon of cinnamon, leave for fifteen minutes. The cinnamon is a more intense version of the honey and yogurt mask. The cinnamon is like the garlic where it will really help dry out that pimple!

15. Combine baking soda a water and leave on for fifteen minutes. I personally have only used baking soda on my teeth but I saw my two cousins try this once and their acne went away.

16. Apply lemons on your most stubborn pimples. This definitely stings but it really gets rid of those pimples!

DIY Acne Mask

Almost everyone I know that’s my age, including myself is fighting acne. We all hate it, and we all want it gone. Have you been breaking out due to stress, or maybe hormones? I've found the perfect mask for you! 

What you will need:

• One Apple (I used red, not that it matters)
• About three tablespoons of honey
• Knife
• Cutting Board
• Blender
• Small container (to put the product in)

*Quick Tip: This apple honey mask works best when it’s fresh. In other words, do not keep in refrigerator to apply later.

Start off with cutting up your apple into about one inch chunks, then add to blender.  Next, add your honey and blend!

This was where I made a mistake. As you can see below, I blended far to long, making my mask at thin as water. Speaking of water, I also added half a cup to my mixture! 

*Quick Tip: I highly recommend to just use the ingredients above for an easier application. In other words, don’t use water!

My Mixture:

My consistency was way too thin and I had a terrible time trying to put it on. :/

Anyway blend for a short period of time until the mixture has combined, but is still chunky. Then pour into your container and it is ready to use! Apply with either clean hands, like I did, or a clean paint brush.

*Quick Tip: Wash your face before applying mask for better results.

Let the mask sit on your face for about ten minutes. It feels very soothing and your skin will feel squeaky clean when you wash it off!

Now you're probably wondering, how does this mask work? Well, honey has anti-biotic properties, which stops bacteria growth and the apple's grains have glycolic acid which works as an exfoliation, cleaning your face and clearing up the skin's pores. Together, they fight to minimize acne!

Use this mask about once or twice a week to keep acne from appearing, or just use whenever you're breaking out. This mask is amazing for the skin and I love what it does for me! I hoped you enjoyed my mask and please comment below telling me how it worked for you. Also, please vote on my poll so I know what you guys would like to see! Thanks! :)

DIY Hair Growth Treatment

Last summer, I dyed my hair ombre. As I was getting this done I also had my damaged ends cut. Turns out I had 6 inches of damaged hair from heat styling with no heat protecting. I hated how short it was.

My hair literally right when I got into the car from the salon:

Anyway, I wanted my hair to grow back, and I wanted it back fast. So I started searching hair growth treatments. Most things I found were up to fifty dollars, which I knew I wouldn't have after paying for the salon and heat products. I decided to research certain ingredients that are really good for hair growth, like maybe foods I could start eating.

I learned that to get longer hair you have to start at the "root" of the problem, aka, your scalp. You start with your scalp because most people have scalp inflammation without even knowing it! That is leading to slow hair growth.

So now you're wondering, what does my scalp need? The answer, sulfur. The juice in an onion has tons of sulfur which your scalp needs to create blood flow and to open your blocked pores, making your hair grow faster! 

I know what you're thinking, eat an onion?! Don't worry, I have created a treatment that only involves you applying it to you scalp and not your mouth.

So to create this easy treatment all you're going to need is:

• Half an onion
• Blender, cheese grater or juicer (I went with the cheese grater)
• Small container with lid to hold your new product

*Quick Tip: I used a red onion, but a white onion, or any other kind of onion will work!

So now that you have your ingredients that were probably in your home, you are going to grate your onion into your container. When I was doing this, I cried like no other!

*Quick Tip: Need some onion cutting tips? CLICK HERE

Once your done you should have small chunks of onion, or what I thought looked like purple applesauce. It should feel more like a liquid between your fingers. That’s the juice, or in other words, what our scalps need! I’d say I did about three tablespoons but you should vary between two and four tablespoons depending on how thin or thick your beautiful hair is.

*Quick Tip: Apply out of the shower!

So once you have your treatment all you have to do is dab your finger into the juice and rub all around your scalp.

*Quick Tip: Massage your scalp about three times a week for best results.

Then wait between thirty minutes to an hour! I kept mine in for about forty-five minutes. Then wash your hair and you're done! Store the rest of your treatment away. I’ve been doing this one to three times a week and have been getting amazing results!

*Quick Tip: The smell will come out after washing your hair.
