Many of us with blemish prone skin will be relieved to know that numerous ingredients to make acne healing masks can be found in your kitchen right now! These simple ingredients are not only cheap and readily available but are also much better for your skin than harsh chemical products. Here are some simple homemade masks:
The first mask for acne seems almost too simple to be true. It contains one ingredient: Pure, raw, organic honey. You don't need to mix it with anything, just spread onto your face and let it sit for 15-30 minutes. You should see excellent results in a few days of consistently doing this.
A second easy mask that works great for clearing up acne is baking soda and water. Just add some water to the baking soda in small amounts and stir until it has a paste consistency. Spread on your face and leave it for about 15 minutes before washing off.
Mask number three consists of egg whites and lemon juice. Crack open an egg and remove the whites into a bowl. Take half of a lemon and squeeze the juice into the egg whites. Beat the egg whites and juice together and then smear onto face. Leave on for 10-15 minutes before washing off.
Another acne mask to try contains yogurt, honey and lemon juice. Take equal parts of honey and plain yogurt and mix together with a dash of lemon juice. Smear onto your face for about 15 minutes and then rinse off.
Lastly, an easy option to treat blemishes (especially in spot treating smaller areas) is to grind up some aspirin tablets. You can smash them with the blunt end of a steak knife or other kitchen utensil. Take the powder and mix with small amounts of water to form a paste. Leave on for at least 10 minutes, up to overnight. The salicylic acid inside the aspirin is what does the trick. Enjoy!
