IT always seems like it’s the days when you have plans that you wake up with a pimple on your face.
One woman shared the DIY hack she used to shrink two skin blemishes in minutes.
In her video, Dr. Natasha Henry (@drnatashahenry) explained that she tried a quick trick to tackle her facial pimples.
“You guys are not going to believe me, I wish I took before and after pictures but I was not planning to make this video,” the TikToker said.
“This morning I woke up with two pimples, they were super inflamed, they looked worse than this.”
Dr. Natasha gave her followers a close-up look at the now shrunken spots on her cheek.
She explained that she wanted to take quick action before leaving the house.
“I was like ‘Damn, I have an event to go to today, oh well, I’ll just put some makeup over it,'” the doctor said.
However, as she enjoyed a cup of dandelion tea she realized it might help to soothe her skin.
“Dandelion has powerful anti-inflammatory antibacterial properties so it’s not really surprising to me that it worked in this way,” Dr. Natasha said.
She was impressed to see how quickly the tea helped to shrink her pimples.
“I made myself a cup of dandelion tea and I said ‘Let me just put the tea bag on the pimples’ because dandelion is very good,” she said.
“I literally placed the tea bag on it for two minutes, took it off, and allowed it to dry.”
Dr. Natashsa told her audience that “the size of the pimples has drastically gone down.”
“Medicine and skincare are great but sometimes when you need a quick fix and all you got is some herbs sitting on the counter, it can work,” she said.
“Medical degree aside, I do believe in the healing power of herbs.”
However, the doctor still cautioned her followers to be careful when using natural remedies and avoid using harsh items such as lemons on their skin.
“Sometimes when a herb is good for something systemically, it may work locally,” Dr. Natasha explained.
She shared a link for the $9 dandelion tea she used for the DIY skincare fix.
Her followers shared their thoughts on the trick in the comments section.
“I love that you are honest, thanks for being positive and sharing your experience,” wrote one viewer.
“I pull them straight out of my backyard! I love my herbs,” said another TikTok user.
“Try and get real dandelions, the roots are the best,” commented a third person.
