Acne can be frustrating to say the least. Despite all of the products on store shelves, there are many individuals out there that have turned to making their own masks like me. I prefer churning out my own home made goodies mostly because I’m not sure what store products contain. It just feels safer and more natural this way. Plus, I am a big believer in if you cannot pronounce the ingredient in it, then it’s best not to use it. So here are the 10 best home made anti acne masks that I have personally used…
9. Heavy Cream Easy to Use Facial Mask
The ingredients in this mask consist of heavy cream (1 tablespoon), honey (1 tablespoon) and baking soda (1 gram). This is the fastest mask to prepare and it gets rid of acne just as fast!
8. Best Face Mask for 30’s
Fractionated coconut oil (2 tablespoons), 1 Egg Yolk, Honey (1 tablespoon), Yogurt (1 tablespoon) and Sugar (1 teaspoon). Mix all of these ingredients and process them in a blender. Apply to the skin and let it sit there for twenty five minutes, then rinse it off with warm water followed by a splash of cold water.
7. Best Face Wash for 40’s
This one is great for someone like your mom (assuming you are young and reading this). One way to slow skin ageing is to take care of it. This mask consists of peas (2 tablespoons), Evening Primrose Oil (1 tablespoon), Yogurt (1 tablespoon), Grape Seed Extract (1 tablespoon) and carrot juice (1/2 Cup). Mix all of the ingredients in a blender and smooth it on the face leaving it there for thirty minutes.
6. To Refresh Your Skin …
The ingredients include ¼ apple, ½ peach, ½ tomato, ¼ milk and 1 tablespoon of Almond oil. Peel all of the fruits and mash them up. Add the milk and oil into the mashed fruits and use moderate heat as you stir it. Do this until the mixture turns into a cream. When it cools, apply a thick layer to your skin and leave it there for thirty minutes. This mask will refresh your skin and keep pimples at bay no matter what type of acne you have!
5. Oatmeal Face Mask
Oatmeal is not just an awesome breakfast food, it is also great for the skin because it helps cleanse and exfoliate. It also helps unclog pores. Mix with honey and scrub it on your face to get rid of dirt, blackheads and acne.
the oatmeal mask sounds great (oatmeal baths were a big part of my chicken pox recovery back in the day) and I like how
that pumpkin mask is intriguing…I never heard of a pumpkin mask but it’s well worth a shot!

Thanks! I want to try #6.
These days I am using a green tea, apple cider vinegar and honey mask. I put sugar in it to make a scrub, then leave it on for a while. I think it has been working pretty well to lighten my acne scars and keep acne problems away.

what i sometimes do is save my teabags and keep them in the refridgerator…then i rub them before i go to bed or as soon as i wake up. It cleans my face and keeps it refreshing!
another one that i do is just use plain egg thats been beat and then just apply it to my face until it becomes dry.
I also take lemon or orange and cut it in half and rub it on my face and elbows where i have really dry, scaly skin, esp. in the winter. It’s excellent for getting rid of the dry, dead skin. It contains high amounts of acid so it’s great for cleansing dead skin. (:

Hey cryssy,
doesn’t the egg on your face smell badd?? Though the citrus does work well for scaly skin – i’ve tried that too.

Oooh.. these sound interesting! Too bad I don’t own some of the ingredients :\
I’d like to try the Baking Soda one but what exactly do you use? The Aspirin Mask works WONDERS! But I just use 2-3 tablets and some honey. However be sure that you don’t use the same mask every single time or else your skin may become resistant to it!
Whenever my skin gets dry, I use an Egg Yolk mask or I use a EVOO Sugar Honey scrub for my face or body. In the summer I’m planning to try a coffee scrub and use Egg Whites for my oily skin :).

Hey Jenn,
That is an interesting point about the skin getting resistant to the face masks. Thanks for that.

You know what works is oatmeal and baking soda mixed together with water. It makes your skin balanced feeling. Not oily not too dry PERFECT
