Instructions

• 1

  Cut a whole lemon into sections with a knife. Squeeze the juice from the lemon into a shallow bowl. If desired, use 1 tbsp. of pure lemon juice instead.

• 2

  Add 1 and 1/2 tbsp. white sugar to the lemon juice to form a paste. Apply the paste to a cotton ball and apply it directly to the affected skin. The sugar granules will exfoliate the skin while the acidity of the lemon juice will lighten the redness.

• 3

  Allow the paste to it on the blemishes for 10 minutes. Rinse with clear running water. Repeat this process once or twice weekly for best results.

• 4

  Soak a few cotton balls in a shallow bowl with about 2 tbsp. of raw milk. After the cotton is completely soaked, apply the raw milk directly to the blemishes twice a day.

• 5

  Puncture a vitamin E caplet and apply the gel directly to the affected skin. You can also use a vitamin E gel or cream. Vitamin E will help even the tone of the skin.
