For fresh and acne free skin, squeeze a lemon into a container and add the same amount of water and then, apply the mixture to your pimples with a Q-tip, being careful to avoid your eyes. The antibacterial properties of the lemon will fight the cause of acne and pimples and leave you with a bright and clear complexion.
2. Trim split ends.
This is the most effective way to get rid of them and to make your hair stronger at the same time.
