Once the water has turned into a brown consistency, turn off the stove and set the mixture aside until it cools off. If you’re planning on using this on your blemishes, then take a cotton and use it to apply the concoction in your face. Leave it to dry for about 15 minutes then wash it off with clean water. Repeat this process twice a week for maximum results.
