Mint Julep...spot treatment?!

I'm sure you guys have heard of the Queen Helene's Mint Julep Mask before. It looks like this:
This stuff is magic for enlarged pores and oily skin. Neither of which I have.
Let me explain.

I use this stuff as a mask about 1-2x a week. Especially on days where I am extremely sweaty from working out. I use it when my face just doesn't feel nice. You know what I mean? That feeling that your face just needs a thorough vacuum of all that built up stuff over the week. Also, I like this stuff because *most* of the ingredients are natural, and all the ingredients are not supposed to irritate the skin. However, if your a dry girl (or guy) like me, this stuff will dry out your face. Not a problem on my end because then I usually go in with my oils and cleanse away the rest of the stuff so my face is moisturized and back to normal. Just feeling, cleaner.

Tonight, however, I am trying something different (which I don't know how I did not think of this before..durrr). I am using it as a spot treatment on la face. I have a few (about 3) new pimples pop up and though I am usually patient with breakouts, especially when I am trying new things, I just want these gone. THUS, I decided to put my mask on them. I just spotted a fair covering of it onto my blemishes and now I am going to bed.

I will let you guys know how I faired in the mornin'!

update

Yay, results! So, the pimples are not gone obviously but the size and and redness of them has gone down considerably. When I ran my fingers over them last night they were hard and stuck out a bit but this morning they felt small and the same texture as the rest of my skin! And they didn't look out of place because the redness of them was basically gone. Hoorahhh! I will continue to do this until they are gone for good.
lawl, I apologize for this...
