sweet & sharp

honey

So for the past two weeks, I have been washing my face with honey, a la Crunchy Betty. (It totally works. Not a big mess and not difficult.) That's the sweet.

And whenever I see a pimple trying to break forth, I have gone to battle with apple cider vinegar at my side. A little dab, a little sting, and acne (how DO I still get it at twenty-three?) is whimpering in the corner. That's the sharp.

Together, they've made a serious difference on my skin. Softer, smoother, healthier. I've not even thought about using makeup* for over a week. That was easy.

Both the honey and the apple cider vinegar, by the way, ought to be raw. I buy Bragg's vinegar and big jars of honey from Miller's or other small Amish stores, which are easy to find around here. Yay for Lancaster County. :)

*Well, except for eyeshadow and mascara-- I do love me some eye makeup.
