More on acne, skin tags and honey remedy

Tuesday, March 18th, 2008

I notice a lot of people are coming to my one post regarding honey and acne remedy. Here is the summation of that post.

  • My skin type: varies now that I’m 35 it varies, sometimes it’s T combo, most of the time it’s normal. I do have very sensitive skin however and so I am careful with what I put on my skin and my face. I’m South Asian and I don’t drink soft drinks, caffeine or eat a lot of sweets. Though chocolate is a major constant in my life, I eat it moderately. This past year I have eaten more fried food than I have in my whole life. I also do my best to eat whole foods, not processed or refined.
  • Acne and honey: While I dabbed regular locally bought honey (from a farm near my city) it did reduce the appearance of the zit, before it got a white head. I think toothpaste is better at drying it out.
  • honey and skin tags: what an amazing discovery I made! I noticed I was getting skin tags on my face. I put it on over night until it was gone, which was 3 days. I also put it on my decollatage, (these had been there for a few years) and it reduced it to the level of my skin, it looks like I have a skin tag, but it’s not an outgrowth.
  • I also had one of those red bumps that you get on your arm or decollatage but on my nose, then one day it was black. I put honey on that and also used the Indian Clay Mask on it, and it was completely gone.
  • Length of time : Honey I used on my face overnight, putting paper towel bits on it (like when man uses that to clot his razor knicks) and made sure not to sleep on my side. I used the honey until the zit was mostly reduced because it wasn’t making it go away completely.
  • As for honey on the skin tags forming on my face, I used it until it was gone, which was about 3 overnights.

Here’s another link to where people experiment with different remedies and give their results and rate the remedy, in this particular case it’s a honey mask, and : http://www.acne.org/honey-mask-reviews/372/page1.html

Acne, skin issues and Honey

Sunday, September 23rd, 2007

I admit, I haven’t been taking care of my skin this year. My sabbatical has included not washing my face regularly since I don’t leave the house.

All that changed about a month ago, when I noticed I was developing a large zit on my left side of my cheek right near a newly formed smirk line on my face.

So, after a couple of days of putting my Tom’s of Maine toothpaste on it, to dry it out (whatever toothpaste you have will do), I felt it was ready enough to pop. Yes, I know, I know, never pop a zit. Well, when I do and when I didn’t, I had varying effects. When I did pop it, it went away without a trace. When I didn’t pop it, it left a scar. When I did pop it, it left a scar that went away. [read on]
