How to Make a Facial Mask for Acne
Overview
Acne, a condition that causes the pores to produce more oils than the skin needs, can interfere with your clear complexion. Rather than spending your money on an acne solution in a bottle, try a homemade mask. Homemade masks for acne use all natural ingredients and are quite effective.
Orange Peel Mask
Step 1
Peel an orange and place the small pieces of orange peel in a mortar. Break down large pieces of orange peel with your hands to make smaller ones.
Step 2
Add 2 to 4 tsp. of warm water to the orange peels.
Step 3
Mash the orange peels into the water with a pestle to make a thick paste, adding more water if needed.
Step 4
Apply the paste to your face with your hands.
Step 5
Allow the paste to sit on your skin for 30 minutes.
Step 6
Peel the hardened mask away from your skin with your fingers.
Step 7
Wash your face with a mild soap and lukewarm water.
Step 8
Pat your skin dry gently with an absorbent soft dry towel. Repeat this as often as needed to reduce swelling from acne.
Honey Mask
Step 1
Scoop out some raw uncooked organic honey from the jar or container with your hands.
Step 2
Rub the honey between your hands to warm it up and make it more pliable.
Step 3
Apply the honey to your face with your fingers.
Step 4
Allow the honey to remain on your skin for 15 minutes.
Step 5
Wipe away the honey with a soft clean cloth dampened with warm water.
Step 6
Wash your face with a mild soap to eliminate residual stickiness.
Step 7
Repeat this process daily to help eliminate acne.
