Hey....yeah you! Are you armed and ready to battle your next skin breakout in record time? Well I'm going to share my secret weapon with you. Ok so you have just notice warfare going on on your face, don't panic reach for this wonder spice to handle this situation! What is it? Cumin Seeds! Yup that's it no expensive gels or creams to fight a major breakout just cumin seeds! So let's discuss how this works. You need to get whole cumin seeds NOT the ground version. All you do is take 2 tablespoon of the seeds and add them to a cup of water and boil. Cover the pot and let this mixture boil for about 10 -15min on med to high heat. Make sure that all of the the seeds are completely submersed in the water and are not sticking to the sides of the pot. You do not want them to burn. Stir the mixture occasionally. After they are thoroughly boiled grab a strainer and strain the seeds out and throw them away it's the liquid that you want. Be very careful when straining this mixture will be hot! I suggest making a small batch because it only lasts about a week in the fridge which is where you need to store it. Cumin has a bit if a musty smell to it but it is not to strong. The liquid should be a yellowish brown color. Set in the fridge in a glass cup or bowl and allow it to cool completely before using it. After an hour of cooling it is ready to use. Grab a cotton pad and dab it into the liquid and apply it to the break out area after washing your face. The cumin seed liquid will act as your toner. It is highly potent and will neutralize the bacteria in your skin demolishing your break out! Keep using this as a toner twice a day after washing and before moisturizing. You may see a difference overnight depending on how bad the break out is. Cumin seeds can be purchased for about $2 and are a must have in your pantry. Hey Acne...you might win some, but you just lost one!...Live, Learn, Love ;)
