So today my Korean gal pal tells me how she cleared up her skin problems. She mixes 8 lemons with a bottle of soju and lets it sit for 1 month. Then she uses it as a cleanser/toner. She says her family thought it was really weird at first but after trying it out they now all swear by it.

As peculiar as this sounds it might actually work. Both lemons and alcohol are astringents so they should, in theory, be an effective measure to fix oily skin.

Anyone keen to give this a try? Note: my pal said that at first it dried her skin out (as you'd expect) but after regular use she now has blemish free, super soft skin.

I heard the same thing. I asked why not just using rubbing alcohol and thats supposedly too strong.

I dunno, I have my doubts too.

[VanIslander]

Just use the lemons!

[Khenan]

I might give it a shot.. did she mention a particular kind or brand of soju?

[curlygirl]

Nope. Alcohol is the key ingredient so I doubt that the brand or strength would make much difference.

i hear bukkake works as well...I guess thats unacceptable in Korea...Now for Japan......

Its also great for stripping paint, also works as a petrol substitute.

i really doubt it, there are so many people with acne problems over here and i'm sure they all want to do something about it. So why haven't they tried it yet?

Ascorbic and ethanol combined as an astringent... well damn, it just might work!

Who cares about Acne!
Besides putting Kimchi on your weiner, got any recipes for Genital Herpes?
It's an epidemic in this country.

I call Shenanigans. No way would a bowl of lemon soju last a month in a Korean household.

"Dad! You're drinking my acne medication!"
