4 Homemade Face Masks Against Acne

Acne-prone  skin requires special care to get rid of excessive fat, dead skin cells and waste products that build up in the skin, which means that people who suffer from acne need special products to cleanse and disinfect their skin. In this article we will show you how you can easily prepare 4 amazing face masks against acne  at home with totally natural ingredients. Forget about chemical products that are too aggressive for your sensitive skin in the long run, and experience the great benefits of these natural ingredients

How do face masks work against acne?

You should apply natural masks to fight acne  once a week. If you have very oily skin, you can apply them twice a week.

• Wash your face well and exfoliate gently with a little salt or sugar, by massaging it into your skin in circular motions. Focus on the extra oily areas, and try not to scratch on areas where you currently have acne.

• Cleanse your face with water and dry it well.
• Apply the mask, avoiding the area around your eyes, and let it sit for about 20 minutes.
• Next, wash and dry your face, and immediately apply a moisturizing oil-free lotion. For example, you can use jojoba oil or coconut oil; although these have a greasy texture, they have much less oil in them than other options.
• If you have extremely oily skin, just apply a little natural aloe vera.

Aloe vera and lemon

Aloe vera is very well known for its moisturizing and healing properties. It is usually sold in the form of jelly at pharmacies or health stores, but we recommend having a small aloe vera plant at home so you can get this product in its most natural form just by cutting into one of its stems.

Open the stem and get the jelly inside out. Then wash the gelatin mass well to get rid of any substance that may irritate the skin.

This mask also includes lemon, which is great for cleansing and cleansing the skin, as well as getting rid of excessive fat.

How to make it?

• Mix the natural aloe vera gel with the lemon juice. You can also use a little lemon peel if the lemon is organic.

Mix the ingredients together and add more lemon juice or aloe vera until you have achieved the right consistency for a mask.

Face masks for acne with green clay

Clay is an amazing ingredient that has been used for centuries to get rid of the waste products in our organism while at the same time giving us lots of minerals. You can use it as part of both your health and beauty routine, and even to get rid of pain and swelling. In ancient times, people applied mud directly. Nowadays, we recommend buying it in an herbal shop or a health food store.

Clay is great for fighting acne because it helps reduce swelling and remove the harmful substances that spring causes acne.

How to do it?

• Mix green clay powder with lukewarm water. Add the water a little at a time until the mixture can spread, but without being too watery.

Use bowls made of glass, wood, or ceramic and avoid plastic and metal.

Yogurt and tea tree oil

This mask is perfect for moderate / oily skin with acne thanks to the two ingredients in it.

Yogurt provides moisture to the skin without making it oily, which means that it does not dry out moderate skin and is refreshing for the skin when it is hot outdoors.

On the other hand, tea tree oil has been highly recommended for the past few decades as a way to fight all sorts of infections.

The ratio of this face mask to acne is 15 drops of tea tree oil in a cup of natural yogurt (without sugar, sweetener and dyes).

Brewer’s yeast and egg white

This interesting mask combines the properties of two products that are great for all skin types, especially those with oily skin.

Brewer’s yeast helps us get rid of waste products that build up in the skin and are rich in minerals such as silicone, which are needed to make your skin look young and firm.

On the other hand, egg whites make your skin tighter, while at the same time reducing excessive fat in the skin.

How to make it?

• Mix both ingredients until you achieve the desired consistency.

In this case, we will not use the egg yolk, but it is a super ingredient for face masks against acne and for dry skin.
