As skin ages, or as it is exposed to environmental stresses and chemical agents, it loses its ability to retain water; it becomes dry and appears wrinkled.
Apply the solution of 1/2 cup warm water & 1/4 teaspoon salt. Maintain pressure with cotton ball for several minutes, to soften blemish. Using a cotton swab, dab honey on blemish; leave on 10 minutes. Rinse & dry, for soothing minor acne flare-ups.
