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.
