Lemon Parsley Infusion Face Spray and Lemon Face Wash

I've been fortunate enough to not have ever had a major problem with acne, but I've had a few minor breakouts in the past months--it probably has a lot to do with the aforementioned splurging I indulge in.

I'm reigning in my diet and limiting my weekly happy hours, but I need a solution for the dark spots left behind. I've scoured the web and pieced together recipes for a Face Wash and a Spray that I hope will solve my problem.
Lemon Juice is a mild astrigent and Parsley helps fade scarring

Lemon Face Wash
1/4 C Olive Oil
1/4 C Aloe
1/8 C Liquid Castile Soap
1/4 C Honey
1/8 C Organic Lemon Juice
1 Tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
2 Tbsp Vitamin E oil
10 Drops of essential oils: grapefruit, sweet orange, or lemon (optional)

Combine all ingredients and blend together. Pour mixture into a pump bottle.
Add water to lather and wash face, avoiding the eye area. Follow up with your favorite facial moisturizer.

Lemon Parsley Infusion Spray
1 C Fresh Parsley, Chopped
2 C Water
10 drops of Organic Lemon Juice

Combine chopped parsley and water and boil for 15 minutes, making a tea. Strain the parsley from the infusion, then add lemon juice. Allow the liquid to cool, stirring frequently. Apply to face with a cotton ball.

Refrigerate between uses and discard leftovers after one week.

I'll give it a month and update you all.

Hugs and kisses peeps!
