Acne Breakout
This nighttime cream will help calm breakouts and clear up pimples by bringing pH balance to the skin. The key ingredient is aloe, a powerful healing plant.
Aloe Pimple Potion
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons or more aloe gel
3 ounces grape seed or almond oil
1 ounce liquid lanolin
2 ounces rosewater
Directions:
"I like to take a leaf of aloe, cut the edges off with a sharp knife, peel off one side of [the] leaf, and gently scrape out the gel," says Miller. Combine aloe with oil and beat together using a whisk, electric mixer, or blender. In a glass bowl over a pan of hot water, melt liquid lanolin into the mixture. Remove from heat and cool; then add in the rosewater. Store in a cream jar. Use at night as a body ointment or face cream on any blemishes, says Miller.
