I have yet to meet a girl without black heads (and if i do i'm pretty sure she'll be an alien), its a problem that never seems to go, even after using all the useless products on the TV!
I highly doubt the dirt gets lifted off magically like in the adverts :-/
So iv got a couple of tips that really work!
Tip 1#
(watch the video for my pink face)
1x cotton wool/ wool pads
1x splash of lemon juice
1x sprinkle of sugar
splash your face with warm water to open your pours
put the juice on the pad and sprinkle the sugar on
rub it on your cleansed face in circular motions, focusing on especially dry bits or your nose
the sugar is a natural exfoliant and gets into your pours and slogs off your top layers of skin
the lemon juice is a naturally antibacterial and kills bacteria that causes spots
splash warm water on your face to wash any residue off, then splash cold water to close your pours up again
because the ingredients are natural with no additives and you can make it as strong or weak as you like you can use it ever day!!
Tip 2#
put a blob of aqueous cream on a cotton pad and use it as a cleanser!
rub it all over your face and focus on problem areas, then pull faces as u look at the pad n see the nasties
wash off with warm water, splash your face with cold water and rub a little more on top to keep your skin moisturized
If u have bad skin, the best thing you can do is keep it moisturized! Your skin will over compensate for any dryness and produce too much oil! if u keep up with a water based moisturizer u'll notice a difference
trust me. i was a bonafide spotty.
hope this'll help!

honey face...
so, i am currently sat at my desk...with honey smeared on my face
appppaaarently its meant to give u beautiful skin and i know theres lots of 'honey and...' product on the market so i thought id give it a go! I hate it when you read recipes for masks and stuff and it goes 'ohh yeah, all stuff u have at home' if your a student, you don't usually have a fully stocked spice rack and bicarbonate of soda lying around! But all the things i recommended are very cheap, so i might have to buy stuff, but it'll cost less than £4 =)
I splashed warm water into my face, opening my pours up, then i smear liquid honey all over my chops and leave it for half an hour (unless your like me and get distracted by you tube too easily)
right gonna go wash it off....
.... ohhhh my skin feels really nice! usually when i wash my face my skin immediately gets really tight n dry and it feels all soft and moisturized!
the only problem is i keep finding sticky patches i missed =p
on the plus side though when i 'accidently' get some in my mouth its laaaaavely =)

first post!!
hey!
So ill tell you a little about myself, i'm a student, i live in England and i'm certified cheapskate!
I'm not making home made face masks and shampoos because i'm trying to save the environment or be a veggie (though saving the environment is a very good thing =p), its because we all work hard for our money, so why spend it on all on beauty treatments that might not work!
I embrace my pale skin, i deal with my thin hair and my difficult skin =)
If your like me then keep reading!!
