Some ask me why drink le sometimes works sometimes don't work for acne


Acne pimples, can be caused by ur diet, ur sleep quality and stress. The tea helps de but if is diet and sleep I cant help.


Using Pearl clay mask and also using lavendula water on cotton,dab face 3 mins is good.

    By the time the chrysanthemun steeps for 15mins, it won't be too hot. Honey enzymes will only be destroy if you add in boiling water.

    Diabetes can take honey but only pure honey. If you put your honey outside and there are ants around your honey, it means your honey is not pure and they are likely to contain sugar which diabete can't take.So pls be careful when choosing honey.
