ZAP Those Zits



A couple of weeks ago, I was breaking out like a teenager. I swear, it was not nice. And, since I have to go to alot of meetings being the PTO Prez, I can't have that going on.

My good friend Susan over at Manor Hall Soap Company always has something I need. This time it's her Facial Cleansing Blemish Control. Made with tea tree oil, red cider vinegar and witch hazel..it's a nice natural alternative to what's on the store shelves.

Sometimes those harsher products like Benzol peroxide and the Salicylic Acid can make your acne worse rather than better. When you skin gets dried out by those formulas, it makes it more susceptible to stuff getting in your pores. Plus, irritated skin just gets more irritated. I find those formulas work good when you have one of those monster zits that won't come to a head. Put a gob on and let it sit and eventually that gunk will surface. But, I digress.

After using Susan's product, I noticed my skin started to get clearer in a couple of days. I would just dab it on where I needed it and let it sink in before I put any moisturizer on or anything. After a few days the teenager in me started to go away..which made me very happy. For those of you who do not like the smell of vinegar..well you're out of luck. There is vinegar in this product. It's not super potent but you do smell it..so I'm warning you in advance. I don't mind it but I know some people do. My husband hates the smell of vinegar, but he had a nasty zit pop up and he used this stuff.

A 10 ml bottle of this will cost you $5.35. Which isn't that bad..plus Susan always has freebies that go with your order and there's usually a coupon code on the site for those of you who are devoted seekers.
