Aloe vera as an acne remedy
The gel of the aloe vera plant has a cooling, soothing effect on acne sores. It is also a natural antibiotic.
Method
Remove a whole aloe leaf from the plant. Take an outer leaf and remove it as near the trunk as possible.
Cut a slit down the middle and allow the yellow latex to drain. The latex has other uses but is not good for irritated skin and might cause inflammation in some people.
If you want to use the aloe immediately, use a serrated knife to remove the thick skin. This will take some practice but after a few tries you will be able to remove the skin and end up with a nice thick piece of gel. and rinse the gel under cold water.
If you are using aloe arborescens, it is not necessary to drain the leaves. You can open the leaf and apply the gel directly.
Cut a piece of the gel and apply it directly to the skin as needed, avoiding the eyes..
The gel will keep for about a week if stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
Oatmeal for Acne

Cook a single serving of plain oatmeal as you would for eating.
Add approximately ΒΌ cup honey and mix thoroughly.
Allow to cool.
Apply to face, avoiding the eye area.
Leave for 10-20 minutes. Do not leave it on too long or it will become difficult to remove.

Wear gloves when handling fresh nettle plants.
