Eliminate Acne With These 3 Homemade Masks

The best way to get rid of the embarrassing and annoying acne is by using natural remedies so as to be sure that you won’t be suffering from side effects. The masks are always the greatest way to cleanse your face and make those pimples and their scars disappear. The masks presented below include only natural ingredients. Honey, for example, is used in every one of these masks because it renews the skin cells, preserves the moisture and keeps the skin soft and hydrated. At the same time, it has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties and can eliminate acne.

Other ingredients that you will find in these masks are milk, turmeric, green tea, apple cider vinegar and cinnamon. All of them have anti-acne effects and they will make your skin look shiny and healthy.

1. Honey and Cinnamon Mask

This is the first anti-acne mask and it contains only honey and cinnamon powder. Also, you will need a bowl and a teaspoon to prepare the mask. To begin with, put some cinnamon powder (1 teaspoon) in the bowl. After that, add honey – 2 teaspoons and mix the ingredients very well until you see that they are blended thoroughly. In case you think that the mixture is thick, you can add extra honey to make it softer.

In order to apply this mask on your face, you can use your fingers. Make sure that your face is a little damp and then put the mixture on your face. Apply it evenly and avoid the eye area. Let the mask sit for almost 15 minutes and then use lukewarm water to rinse it off. Apply a toner or lemon juice immediately after to shrink the pores. This acne mask can be used daily thanks to the anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties of the cinnamon.

2. Apple Cider Vinegar Mask

For the second mask you will need sugar, honey, green tea, apple cider vinegar, a bowl and a teaspoon. The apple cider vinegar eliminates the dead skin cells and unclogs the skin pores and the green tea has anti-inflammatory properties and maintains the brightness of the skin.

Put apple cider vinegar (1 teaspoon) in the bowl and then add cooled green tea (2 teaspoons), sugar (5 teaspoons) and honey (1 teaspoon). Mix the ingredients well and add more sugar if the solution is not too consistent. Use a cotton pad to apply the mask on your face and massage it into the skin to improve circulation and dissolve the dead skin cells. The sugar is a natural scrub that will unclog the skin pores and heal the scar tissue. Rinse the mask off after 10 minutes. Use it 2 times per week.

3. Honey, Milk and Turmeric Mask

You will need raw milk, honey and turmeric powder and, of course, a bowl and a teaspoon. Mix the turmeric (1 teaspoon) with the honey (1 teaspoon) and the milk (2 teaspoons). Mix them until they form a paste and use a makeup brush to apply the solution on your face. Don’t use your fingers because you will stain them yellow. Rinse it off after a couple of minutes and use it thrice a week. If you have stained areas on your skin after using this mask, you can remove them with a cotton ball soaked in milk.

The turmeric has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties and the raw milk acts like a scrub and makes the skin look younger.
