Honey... A teaspoon a day, actually will keep the sickness away.

Try this! Right now.....no seriously. Grab some honey, heat a good amount of it in the microwave. Doesn't take much, maybe like 5 seconds. Then sprinkle some cinnamon and mix it up. Take a cotton swab and dab it on your face. (Careful hot!) get in good where you have a problem with clogged pores. Let it harden as a mask on your face for 20-30 minutes. Then wash your face with your regular skin care soap. Honey is an AMAZING mask, that I do regularly. You will look at your smooth skin after and be AMAZED!

I also take a teaspoon of honey everyday, to keep the sickness away. (I have preschool age children who love it, thinking they are getting a treat!)
