OLIVE OIL
Basically, i have acne scars around my face due to a sudden outbreak.
Having a bad picking problem, i picked on those small pimples and left a scar which was situated on top of my lip, another two at my right cheek, near my left eye and left eyebrows.
Thanks to that. I felt insecure because of the scars.
And so, i started googling for ideas to heal the scars asap and possibly help to get rid of the black and white heads.
Yup. And since google is my newly made best friend, i decided to google.
Everybody loves an easy, cheap and natural way to solve their problems.
So i decided to try the method of applying olive oil+ a drop of lemon juice+ sea salt.
That made the start of my 7 day journey trying this method, hoping that this would work and i could share with everybody else.
Decided to only show two of them because one of them is the most obvious and largest out of all the scars.
I applied the mixture for 10-15 minutes before washing it off with running water.
After washing it off, my face seems to feel more freshen and smooth and it seems that this method might really work!
FYI, i actually have keratosis pilaris so
I decided to apply on my arms too.
As usual, i like to pick so there are svare there too.
So that js a before photo.
Well so after i bathed, i took two more photos to show you guys the instant after effect.
My skin and my scars lightened and brightened.
Both my face and arms have smoothen and it really seemed to be working.
Being very pleased with the results,
I decided to carry on my 7 days challenge.
Unfortunately for me, after the third day, i decided not to continue.
Actually, my scars did seem to heal faster than normal scars would but i started to have more pimple outbreaks.
Everybody is different and im only 17 do it could be because of different skin conditions and puberty. Therefore, it might work for you guys although i decided not to carry on.
Going back to google...
Many websites on google actually stated the benefits of olive oil on how it moisturizes and how it help scars and acne. I personally love the taste of olive oil and so i decided to consume it instead of applying it on my face.
Instead, i decided to use lemon to replace my olive oil challenge.
Lemons may be high in acidity butthere are articles suggesting that it helps acne, scars, lightening of hair and even lightening underarms. Therefore, i decided to do a 7 day challenge using lemon instead on my face.
Till then:)
