Anti-Acne Treatments

As a teenage girl, I have problems with acne, and it tends to get on my nerves. So, when I just have nothing to do, I try out "home remedies", so I want to tell you what home remedies and homemade masks that actually work.

1. Cinnamon and honey mask
To make the masks, put three tablespoons of the type of honey of your choice (I like wallflower) in a microwave bowl/cup of your choice. Next, put in one tablespoon of cinnamon in, and mix. It should be thick and weird looking. After that, put the mixture in the microwave for ten seconds. The texture after heating should be less thick. Apply onto the face, and wait 5-10 minutes and rinse off.
I do not recommend this mask to sensitive skin because the cinnamon might be too abrasive. You can use it everyday, but no more than once a day. I use it a couple times a week.

2. Cinnamon, honey, olive oil, and sea salt mask
To make the mask, place one tablespoon of olive oil, two tablespoons of honey, and two teaspoons of cinnamon inside a microwable bowl/cup. The texture should be close to syrup. Next put it for five seconds in the microwave. Next, put in the sea salt in and stir. The texture should be in between water and syrup and gritty. Apply onto face for five minutes and rinse off. When you rinse it off, the seasalt will exfoliate your skin.
If you have sensitive skin, I recommend using fine salt or not adding salt at all. Depending how big the sea salt chunks you put in, the harsher the exfoliation. I recommend using it once a week.

3. Toothpaste
Dab onto any zit on your pimple, leave overnight. It dries out the zit and reduces the appearence.

4. Egg mask
Separate the whites from the the yolk. Whip up the whites and dab the foam onto your face. When you feel like you cannot move your face, rinse off. It gets rid of excess oil and brighten ups the skin. For the yolks, puncture the yolk, and apply onto face. When you cannot move your face, rinse off. It provides moisture to the face.

5. Eye drops
Apply eye drops to any red blemish or redness to any spot. It reduces the redness.

6. Coffee, berry, and avocado mask.
Mash up a half of an avocado, mash up a cup of your choice of berries (I like raspberries and blueberries), and mix it with two tablespoon of coffee (cold is better) and a tablespoon of coffee grinds. Apply to face and rinse off after 5-10 minutes. It is perfect for dry, irritated, and inflamed skin. Great for winter.

These are all of my home remedies that I know work well. Take care :).
