Washing my face with Honey: redirection

Honey! I wrote about washing my face with honey  three weeks ago. At first I loved it-my skin had never felt better. Then-and then-it all went south. Worst my face has ever  been. My forehead was covered in little bumps, chin was suffering from that yucky cystic stuff. I reminded myself that there is supposed to be a "purging" period, but after a few days of sticking to the routine and seeing no improvement I threw in the towel. I wanted to stay as natural as possible so I went with Burt's Bees (which you can find at Walmart) and I love their line. The list of ingredients isn't as scary and it smells nice. The face was still looking bad, though, so I decided to use what I had learned from reading "crunchy" blogs and added tea tree oil, baking soda, jojoba oil and honey (yep) to my arsenal. Here's the routine: #1 Wash face with Burt's Bees facial cleanser. #2 Make a baking soda paste and apply it to problem areas. Let it sit for five minutes.
