I don’t know what’s come over me but I haven’t been a good girl with my diet.  I was rather disciplined for awhile but I’ve reverted to eating lots of junk food, chocolates and ice creams.   Now, I’m paying the price, breaking out with big pimples on my left cheek!  Because the Lavera Blemish Stick Concealer is only effective on small pimples on my forehead,  I decided to try another DIY spot acne recipe.  This time using aspirin, green tea and tea tree oil.

I bought these little bottles of Manuka Honey at The World Of Organic Skincare because they were on sale.  These come with UMF10 only but the bottles are so cute that I couldn’t resist them.  Anyway, they turn out to be really handy for a DIY session of facial massage!

I was really excited to find out that tea tree essential oil, which has antibacterial and antimicrobial properties, is good at resolving unpleasant odor and hence, can work as a natural deodorant. I was slightly skeptical about the effectiveness but still, I tried first by applying a few drops of the oil neat on my underarms and that kept me fresh the entire day! The only problem was, the strong smell didn’t dissipate as quickly and it was impossible to go out smelling like that!

I sometimes like to grind my rice grains to make porridge.  So while doing that the other day, I decided to grind a bit more to test how the grounded rice would work as a body scrub.  And because they weren’t that fine, I didn’t want to use it on my face.
