Most of
us struggle with our skin on a daily basis. Whether you have
freckles, pimples or blackheads has a big effect on how you
should treat your skin. You don't have to have naturally
flawless skin to have a pretty face! You just need to know how
to take care of it. AG has researched and found some direct ways
to help you with specific problems.

A Fun Cleansing Trick...
Ingredients: 1 Apple
Directions: Always begin with a
simple cleanser such as Ponds Fresh Start (my personal
favorite!) or Neutrogena's Oil-free Acne Wash (for those who
want to get one up on pimples!) Then take an apple and slice it
into really thin slices. Place the slices on your face and leave
them for about 15 minutes. They soak up the extra oils and help
to close your pores.

For Dry Skin...
Ingredients: Plain
Whole Milk
Directions: After
cleansing skin, apply milk and let set on skin for about 10
minutes. Rinse with cold water and pat dry. Do this twice a day.
Not only does milk give you strong bones, but healthy skin as
well! |

Spotty Freckles...
Ingredients: Lemon Juice
Directions: After cleansing
just put some lemon juice on a cotton ball/pad and apply it on
you face. The juice will begin to even out your skin tone and
lightly fade those 'strong' freckles after some time.

For Those Pimples
Ruining Your Day...
Ingredients:
Toothpaste (not gel!)
Directions: Just
place a dab of toothpaste directly on the pimple before you go
to bed. Sleep on it and the redness and puffiness should be gone
by morning.
Or you might want
to try some Visine eye drops on those really red ones. It gets
the redness out of almost anything! |

Blackheads That Won't Go Away...
Ingredients: Neutrogena Transparent Facial Bar
& Plain 'ole table Salt
Directions: After taking a long,
warm bath, give your face a splash of cold water. Then rub a
pinch of table salt mixed with a pinch a soft, soggy portion of
the soap together in between your fingers. Begin then to rub it
on your face for about 1 minute, making sure to get it well into
the blackheads. Rinse well and pat dry. Repeat for a week.
