[Acne] Slug life ft. honey for cystic acne

Beauty Tips For Body Care
I've been lurking on SCA for a while and I'm really into accelerated wound healing/slug life (the idea that keeping the affected areas moist means they'll heal faster). Which is basically the opposite of what I've done to help my acne (i.e. frequent, long washing, drying masks and trying to scrub it off...ugh).I haven't tried vaseline yet, but I made a balm for my face that reduces redness and flattens/brings cysts to a head so much faster! I also overexfoliated my skin for several months on and off for YEARS, and this method helps with the stinging and inflammation as I repair and maintain my barrier. The eczema I get on my eyelids heals really fast too.On clean skin, I apply moisturizer (CeraVe lotion) and then slather the balm on top. Then I go to sleep. My skin is so happy, and I'm so grateful to SCA!The recipe is:5 tablespoons of oil (I use sweet almond)1 tablespoon beeswax1 tablespoon honeyMelt everything together in microwaveNote: You have to put a lid on and shake the container like crazy as it cools or the honey will sink to the bottom! Can be used for OCM as well.
