Your Face Needs a Drink: Acne Gel Made with Vodka

Bellasugar has a recipe for a DIY acne-fighting gel. You can make it yourself and then guzzle the leftover vodka. Everybody wins!

You’ll need:

• 15 marigold flowers
• 2 cups of filtered water
• 1 packet of vegetable gelatin
• 15 drops of tea tree oil
• 4 teaspoons vodka

Directions:

• Boil the water. Place the marigolds in a glass bowl and pour the boiling water over them. Let steep for about 1/2 hour.
• Using a blender, mix the flowers and water together for about 30 seconds.
• Strain the mixture, using cheesecloth, into a glass measuring cup.
• In another glass bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of filtered, cool water with the gelatin. Slowly add the marigold mixture, and stir to blend.
• Then, add in the vodka and tea tree oil, mixing very well to remove any clumps.
• Finally, use a funnel to dispense the acne gel into a 4-ounce pump. Your gel will last for about eight weeks, stored in the fridge.
