The anti-acne 5 minute facial that needs just two ingredients

Landlords who end up at your doorstep right when they shouldn’t, and acne that makes an appearance the night before a big event are the reasons why most adults hate surprises. The former can be dealt with tanks to the skills you picked up in drama club, the latter however is a bigger obstacle. It’s alarming to see how much damage a tiny pimple can cause – think tiny tubes of irrationally overpriced ointments or that not-so-flattering impromptu fringe to conceal the little devil.

If we made money for every time we spotted a pimple, we’d all be millionaires with Swiss bank accounts by now. Acne is the single most rampant skin issue that wreaks havoc on a daily basis. But you definitely don’t need to live with this skin devil. Try one of our DIY 5 Minute Facials instead. It does the job and is easy on the pocket too. All you need is a few sprigs of pudina and honey. The honey has anti-bacterial properties and deep-cleans the face. Mint, on the other hand, has salicylic acid and vitamin A, which help combat acne.

Ingredients

2 tbsp honey

2 tbsp mint leaf paste (take a fistful of mint leaves and grind them in a food processor till you have a thick paste with even consistency)

Application

• Use a bowl to combine equal quantities of honey and mint paste.
• Use your fingers to apply the thick paste all over your face and neck.
• Leave it on for about four minutes.
• Wash it off with cold water.
