naturalskin: ACV Toner / Aspirin Tea Mask / Thanks! First of all, I want to thank everybody who replied to my previous entry about ACV, aspirin masks and scalp problems! I took all of your scalp suggestions into consideration and I'm hoping that I'll be flake free soon in the future. :D -----------------------------------ACV TonerI fine-tuned and completed my ACV toner recipe and it is AWESOME. Anyway, here's my recipe:3 to 4 ounces of Apple Cider Vinegar4 to 5 ounces of boiled water4 Green Tea bags1 Chamomile Tea bagJojoba oil (optional) & Tea Tree oil (optional)5-7 finely crushed plain aspirin pills Steep the tea bags in the water and let it sit there for at least 30 minutes.

Witch Hazel Reviews I've had acne since I was in fourth grade; now I'm nearing the end of my senior year and am still struggling with my acne. I ran across Witch Hazel in the store, and I already knew the herb itself has a history of being used to heal, so I decided to take a chance and buy it. When everything else has failed, you just kinda try anything and everything that seems even moderately promising. I started using it about a week ago, and already I can see the results. I use it when I first wake up and am getting ready for school, and then I use it right before I go to bed. It's real gentle, doesn't burn or irritate. I have picky skin. As I said before, in any case, I've only been using it for a week, and my face has cleared up considerably. I'm really hoping that this continues to work.
