Peppermint is used more often than spearmint as a medicinal herb because it naturally produces menthol. You can use a crushed mint paste as an acne cure! Simply crush a handful of peppermint leaves together with mortar and pestle, rub mixture and it’s juice on affected area. Leave on for 5-10 minutes, then rinse off with cold water. This works because of the menthol which is a natural analgesic and anit-inflammatory. A quick caution: do not continue use if this mixture irritates your skin.
Peppermint is a very hearty and fairly easy to grow. Give it a try in your garden.
