Have you heard of applying malunggay leaves for pimples? Have you even tried putting it on your face? Well, I did for over a week. And here is my experience.
Personal Time Frame of Usage: Over 2 weeks, this month of August.
I was suffering terribly with huge cystic acne that it was so embarassing to go out and talk to people. I lost my confidence because of it. I stayed home if I could and only go out when it is really important. People who saw me were all commenting about my pimples and how they have ruined my face. Those comments magnify the low esteem that I had. I felt depressed. It was a low moment for me.
Before, I also had acne problems and I found a solution that worked well for me. It stopped all my acne. But then I was too lazy and so I forgot about the regimen so the acne backfired. That wasn't long ago. That was just last June 2012. Traces of the my worst acne experience are still visible on my face. I have scars all over my face, over 20 of them mostly in tiny spots, that look like freckles. But am acne free now, hopefully forever!
So what I did, was I applied Malunggay Leaves on my face, entire face, and let it sit for at least 10 minutes to as long as 30 minutes. Malunggay leaves have anti-bacterial properties plus many other healing benefits. I was so desperate to get rid of my acne so it didn't hurt to give this "herbal solution" a try. And so I did that for over a week. Initially I was doing it twice a day, morning and evening for 3 consecutive days. Then I'd skip a day or two before I apply the regimen again. It really did work. Now I am acne free. No acne on my face, none at all (except for the scarring).
I don't recommend doing what I did, but if you are that desperate, and you've tried everything else to no avail, the call is on you! Malunggay juice helps to fight pimples, prevent pimples and heal pimples faster. It also helps in lightening scars.
Let me reveal exactly how I prepared the Malunggay Leaves:
1. Get enough Malunggay Leaves that you can use for the day.
2. Wash it with water.
3. Use mortar and pestle to crush, grind the malunggay leaves or if you have a blender you can use that. I personally use the blender at home. I just add half a glass to 1 glass of warm water, then blend the Malunggay Leaves.
4. Apply the malunggay juice on the face for 10 minutes or more.
5. You can also create a Malunggay Mask using tissue paper. I'll teach you how to do it below.
How to create Malunggay Mask Using Tissue Paper:
1. Cut the tissue paper into strips.
2. Pile the tissue paper strips one after the other depending on the thickness.
3. Now scoop some malunggay juice and put it on the tissue paper strips. The tissue paper strips must have the right amount of malunggay juice but not too much to avoid dripping.
4. Put the tissue paper strips on your face, avoiding the eyes, and mouth areas.
5. Wait for at least 10 minutes before removing the tissue paper strips.
Using tissue paper strips prevents dripping so you can still do your normal daily routines while on the regimen. I warn you, you will look like a "mummy" if you do this.. lol..
Please do a skin test first before using this regimen. Also always use fresh malunggay juice to avoid irritations. And yes one more thing, in combination with this regimen I apply the following:
- Eskinol Cleanser with Dalacin C
- Skinmate Shark Oil
Personal Time Frame of Usage: Over 2 weeks, this month of August.
That's it. I hope you also get to put an end to your pimples/acne. Remember that what might work for me might not work for you.
FYI: I don't use malunggay juice daily now. I just apply it once a week for maintenance.
