This is what I do: wet your face with warm water, get about a teaspoon of borax in your hand and then apply on your face AVOID eye area and under eye. Scrub gently with the borax around the problem area, rinse with luke warm water and watch your face glow. AMAZING
After I rinse the borax off I apply a toner 50/50 ACV and water with a cotton pad to minimize the size of my pores, after it dries a apply coconut oil and my face is like a babys bottom :)
Make sure you always apply suncsreen to the face.
I also use borax as a scrub for my body, I used to have back acne and they are almost gone, my skin feels like silk. I swear by borax.

Borax works sooo well for me and my face literally feels so soft. It’s really hard for me to be satisfied with the results of many products but this diy home remedy was perfect. I use this twice a week and it really helps unclogging the pores! Add a nose strip and you’re good to go! I use this on my back, face, and chest.(Also heard it can reduce dark armpits but haven’t tried it yet.)

Sunscreen should not be used on skin. It's pure toxic. Read the ingredients that you're putting on to be soaked in to your pores!
