There is a girl in our office who has great skin! So, I asked her how she gets it of course. She gave me her daily regiment. After a bit of research I discovered just how great an all natural regiment is for your skin!!

Did you know that acne occurs from excess oil buildup that causes clogged pores, bacteria, and inflammation? Acne affects approximately 40 to 50 million americans. If this is something that affects you, a good regiment is essential.

Step 1. Wash your face with an African Black Soap. Black Soap is made from locally harvested plants and bark, such as plantain, cocoa pods, palm tree leaves, and shea tree bark. It may also contain various oils such as palm oil, coconut oil, or palm kernel oil.
-This soap is good for thinning fine lines, evening out dark spots, eczema, razor bumps, and eliminating blemishes. It is also used to lightly exfoliate and give you healthier looking skin.
-A few brand names are Shea Moisture (can be found at Walmart, Target, and Walgreens) and Nubian Heritage (can be found at most vitamin shops).

Step 2. Apply a mixture of Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar and distilled water as a toner. It should be an even 50/50 mixture. The toner will dry out your skin and may sting a bit at first. That is normal.

Step 3. Apply an oil free facial moisturizer. This will help keep your skin moist after the toner. A popular brand is Olay, which can be found in most major shopping markets.

Optional Step 4. You can also drink a mixture of Apple Cider Vinegar and water. Apple Cider Vinegar is a folk remedy that you can apply topically or consume to help treat acne. Apple Cider Vinegar is able to break down fatty, mucous and phlegm that are in the body, therefore improving the health and function of your liver, bladder, and kidneys. These 2 organs are the main factory in your body that functions to detoxify your body and cleanse your blood. Since acne is caused by an accumulation of the toxins in your body, by taking apple cider vinegar, you are helping your body to function better and get rid of unwanted toxins.
-Mix 1 cup of water and 2 tsp of apple cider vinegar into a glass. You can also add 1 tbsp of honey to help with the strong taste. Honey is also an anti-inflammatory and has antimicrobial properties.
-Drink the mixture (some people may have sensitive stomachs so drink a bit to test your stomach before drinking the whole mixture).
-Rinse out your mouth with water. Apple Cider Vinegar is acidic, therefore rinsing your mouth help to prevent the risk of damaging tooth enamel.

*Before starting any regiment involving Apple Cider Vinegar,consult your physician!*
