2 new things I have discovered. Cheap as chips and very effective......

I now wash my face with honey and nothing else. Much better than OCM. My skin is the softest and clearest I remember it being.
I brush my teeth with activated charcoal and my beige gnashers are actually turning white!
Thought I'd share

thanks gaggiagirl will try the ACV aswell as i think i have some in the cupboard.

when you use honey to wash your face do you need to moisturise afterwards? if so what do you use? coconut oil?

honey wash is brilliant, have been using it for over a year, far less spots and softer skin, I use a little sweet almond oil as a cleanser. In the evenings I do the OCM with a mix of castor and sweet almond oil, have a combination skin and this mix seems to work best.

Meant I use the almond oil as a moisturiser not for cleansing!

gg yeah it works on blackheads the first week of using honey as a mask bought every nasty up to the surface but now I'm starting to really see results especially on my acne scars
Boo my face feels so soft after the honey but I still need to moisturise I actually started a thread asking for recommendations for a good one for my spotty skin and got some amazing responses if I could do links I would sorry! But I'm going to try Vichy normaderm and avene triacneal.

thanks gaggiagirl and prawntoast.

The acv can sting at first but I don't notice any more, it smells really bad but it disappears after 15 minutes. Make sure to dilute it with water as it might be too harsh on the skin with full strength.

I don't moisturise in the evening now as the acne is clearing up and don't want to aggravate it, and in the morning I use no7 tinted moisturiser.

I'm gonna buy some it seems to have many uses and I'm guessing it's not expensive too

Booy ginger shampoo from Bodyshop is good for dandruff prone scalps. Not too expensive

thanks mashpot. will try that.

oh i use honey and soluable asprin as a face mask

tesco value honey mind you

doesnt charcoal just darken the gums rather than the teeth themselves - the teeth just seem whiter against the darkened gums?

The gums look zombie black! Then it all washes off, pink gums, white teeth!
I have also been making my own vit c serum, works a treat and you pay£££££££ for is in the shops.

Hey big can we have a recipe for the vit C serum? I love a homemade remedy x

I follow the ones on a forum called EDS, this ot should keep you busy! It's a great forum www.essentialdayspa.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=11902

Big actually I tried the honey face wash this morning, if I don't look like a teenager within one week I will sue yo ass feel mildly aggrieved :)

currently I bet your skin was baby soft!

Another vouching for ACV, I had terrible perioral dermatitis last year. I had it for about two and a half months. Due to the various medications I was on, I wasn't allowed the other medication needed to clear it.

The doctor prescribed some cream, but admitted it probably wouldn't help, and she was right.

The ACV - dabbed on with cotton wool to the affected area - cleared it up in no time at all. If I feel another flare coming, I apply again and it's gone within 36 hours.

I might try the manuka as a wash, my poor skin has taken a right hammering for the last couple of years.

Bumping just to ask those who started this if they've seen expected results. I've got acne and scarring and am thinking of starting the regime.

I also might try the charcoal so that I can smile like this ->

That website is amazing
