<p>If you have a minor acne flare-up, this simple treatment will clear it up.</p>
<p>• 1/2 cup warm water<br />
• 1/4 teaspoon salt<br />
• Pure honey</p>
<p>1. Mix together warm water and salt and stir well until salt dissolves. Apply a cotton ball soaked in the solution directly to blemish and maintain pressure with cotton ball for several minutes.</p>
<p>2. To use: Use a cotton swab to dab pure honey on blemish. Leave honey on for 10 minutes and rinse well with warm water. Honey also makes an excellent weekly facial mask; simply spread on your face and leave on for 20 minutes.</p>
