Stage Makeup 101: Part 2 how to get clear skin!

So in my last blog I talked about toners. Here is a quick and natural facial mask and toner you can make at home to help you combat acne prone skin, acne scars and dry skin.

The facial mask can be used up to 7-10 days prior to your competition date. The toner can be used daily or every other day throughout your entire contest prep and post!

It's quick easy and you make it at home using the following ingredients: Apple Cider Vinegar, sugar, honey, and green tea!

Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV): those of us in the health and fitness industry love it's amazing benefits. Well when used in this mask and toner, the alpha hydroxy and amino acids help dissolve dead skin cells and fatty deposits in the skin. Its PH balance and helps unclog pores.

Sugar: helps exfoliate

Honey: it's a natural treatment for acne. It reduces redness and swelling!

Green tea: another favorite of our it detoxified the skin and repairs cells

Facial mask
1tsp ACV, 7 tsp sugar, 1tsp honey, 2 tsp green tea
Stir into a cement constancy use about 2 tsps full and store the rest in a jar refrigerate up to 3 weeks. Apply 2 tsp to face with a cotton ball. Using circular motions and fingertips gently massage mask for 3-5 min. Leave on for 10 min then rinse of. Use 1-2 times a week.

Toner
1part ACV 3parts green tea 1tsp olive oil (oil optional)
If it's too strong for sensitive skin use 5 part ratio 1part green tea 4 parts tea

Shake in jar and apply with a cotton ball my don't rub tap! Store in fridge and use daily.

I promise you will have softer smoother skin with less visible acne for those with extreme acne and for those with mild less episodes during competition prep!

Oh FYI use at night because ACV has a real pungent smell and don't use regular vinegar it's distiller and too hard on your skin. We are trying to get rid of acne not make it worse!

Stay tuned to Stage Makeup 101!
Thanks everyone!
