My EF skincare recs - for acne/combo skin

My skin got so bad 2 months ago and I have been on the search for some EF products that also work.  After a disastrous run with jojoba oil, I have finally gotten my skin under control for the most part with the following products. 

Face wash - wash with raw honey.  Not sticky at all and I sometimes use as a mask when face is really inflamed.

Apple cider vinegar - I mix with distilled water (1/4 vingear to 3/4 water) and use as a toner.  This is a bit smelly but it goes away.

Tea tree oil - I use a qtip and spot treat any acne I have.  Again, a bit stinky but the smell dissapates.  I have the 20% version as it's not as harsh.

 I'm still trying to find a good moisturizer but these products have helped my skin sooo much!

  • where you do get your raw honey? does the grocery store sell it?

  • I get it at Whole Foods but I've seen it at another natural grocery store and I think they might carry it at Trader Joe's too.  They have some crazy expensive ones but I picked one that was $9.  A jar lasts a long time though.

  • Thanks for the recs! I've tried the apple cider vinegar thing but I just can't get passed the smell-yuck!!

  • I still don't quite get the raw honey as a face wash - do you put it on your face dry or wet? How do you spread it around since it's sticky? Then just rinse with water? Thanks!

    I've used it both ways - dry and wet and it just spreads around fine.  Mine is actually not that sticky which is surprising.  I rub it all over and then just rinse with water.  Works great!
