CRANBERRY AND SAVORY ACNE INHIBITOR

Did you know the acidity in cranberries works as a mild astringent and toner? Did you know that the Greeks originally considered Savory to be an aphrodisiac? Cranberry and Savory posses antiseptic properties similar to those found in oregano and thyme, and help cleanse the skin of excess oils.

1 tablespoon dried savory leaves, crushed
1/2 cup whole fresh or frozen cranberries
1/2 cup boiling water

Place dried savory in a small bowl and cover with boiling water. Allow to steep as tea for 15 minutes, then strain liquid and set aside. Place cranberries in a blender and puree. Strain the cranberry pulp and discard, reserving the juice. Combine the juice and savory liquid in a jar until ready for use. Then, soak cotton pads with the infusion, swipe on your face in oily T-Zone areas, avoiding the eye area, and leave on for 15 minutes. Rinse your face with warm water.
