Naturalskin: ACV Toner / Aspirin Tea Mask / Thanks! First of all, I want to thank everybody who replied to my previous entry about ACV, aspirin masks and scalp problems! I took all of your scalp suggestions into consideration and I'm hoping that I'll be flake free soon in the future. :D -----------------------------------ACV TonerI fine-tuned and completed my ACV toner recipe and it is AWESOME. I honestly never thought I would ever find a toner that actually did anything except wet my face and infuse it with lovely engineered chemicals, so I pretty much forgot about them until I ran accross ACV fanatics at the acne.org red marks forum. Anyway, here's my recipe:3 to 4 ounces of Apple Cider Vinegar4 to 5 ounces of boiled water4 Green Tea bags1 Chamomile Tea bagJojoba oil (optional) & Tea Tree oil (optional)5-7 finely crushed plain aspirin pills Steep the tea bags in the water and let it sit there for at least 30 minutes.

Mold Resources | Mold | Indoor Air Quality | Air. Introduction to Molds Molds produce tiny spores to reproduce. Mold spores waft through the indoor and outdoor air continually. When mold spores land on a damp spot indoors, they may begin growing and digesting whatever they are growing on in order to survive.

There are molds that can grow on wood, paper, carpet, and foods. When excessive moisture or water accumulates indoors, mold growth will often occur, particularly if the moisture problem remains undiscovered or un-addressed.

I've had acne since I was in fourth grade; now I'm nearing the end of my senior year and am still struggling with my acne. I ran across Witch Hazel in the store, and I already knew the herb itself has a history of being used to heal, so I decided to take a chance and buy it. When everything else has failed, you just kinda try anything and everything that seems even moderately promising.

I started using it about a week ago, and already I can see the results. I use it when I first wake up and am getting ready for school, and then I use it right before I go to bed. It's real gentle, doesn't burn or irritate. I have picky skin. Just about any other face cleaner or soap I've used either didn't work, caused more break outs, or I was allergic to (one time I even got a chemical burn from a face cleaner). As I said before, in any case, I've only been using it for a week, and my face has cleared up considerably. I'm really hoping that this continues to work.
