Hey everyone!

Would you like a quick and affordable lip exfoliating tip?

While you are at the sink brushing your teeth, simply use your tooth brush on your lips! All you have to do is gently rub your lips with your tooth brush. This technique will remove the dry skin, and reveal the fresh!

Burt's Bees Natural Acne Solutions - Spot Treatment Review

Hey everyone!

This is a review on Burt’s Bees’ Natural Acne Solutions Targeted Spot Treatment!

Burt’s Bees’ Acne Spot Treatment is great to use on mild to moderate forming blemishes! The liquid formulation contains salicylic acid that is derived naturally from willow bark, which has anti-inflammatory properties. The Acne Solution has a very mild antiseptic smell that I actually find rather refreshing and pleasant.

I use Burt’s Bees’ natural acne solution as a spot treatment on any newly formed blemishes that I might have before bedtime. I find that if I open up the blemish by picking at it, the solution will cause a slight stinging sensation, but other than that there are no side effects. When I wake up in the morning, I do notice that the blemish has noticeably decreased in size and puffiness.

I would not recommend this product for severe acne. If you are prone to cystic acne, then you should seek medical advice from a dermatologist.

This product retails for: $9.99!

Pros:

~Pleasant scent

~Helps to reduce mild/ moderate blemishes

~Easy application

Cons:

~A blemish treatment/not an acne solution

Overall, I rate this product at 3.5 out of 5 sugarcubes! This is a good product to treat your mild to moderate blemishes without the hefty price tag!

XoXo,

Whitney

Note: I purchased this product with my own money.
