HOMEMADE FACE MASKS FOR ACNE, PIMPLES AND BLACKHEADS


Homemade face masks are excellent natural remedies for getting rid of acne breakouts, Pimples and blackheads. Today I will show you two effective facial masks which include variety of ingredients that help nourish your skin and eliminate acne, pimples and any related problems.


1.    TURMERIC, MILK AND HONEY FACE MASK



Ingredients
·            Turmeric powder: Turmeric is good for treating skin problems, owing  to its antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It also  helps fade blemishes and acne scars.
·      Honey: It hydrates your skin, keeps it soft by preserving moisture, and promotes skin cell renewal. It is best to use raw and organic honey rather than processed honey as the latter may irritate your skin.
·      Milk: Raw milk contains lactic acid that works as a gentle exfoliate and delivers anti-aging benefits.

Preparation
Put one teaspoon of turmeric powder in a bowl.
Add one teaspoon of honey.
Add one to two teaspoons of milk.
Mix the ingredients to form a thin paste.

Application
Apply the mask to your face and neck using a makeup brush. Leave it on for at least 10 to 15 minutes and rinse it off with lukewarm water

If it leaves a yellowish stain on your skin, soak a cotton wool ball in milk and rub it on the stained areas. Use this mask for two to three days a week.


2.       CINNAMON AND HONEY FACE MASK

Ingredients
·              Cinnamon powder: cinnamon has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties
·              Honey

Preparation

Add two teaspoons of honey.
Mix the ingredients until they are blended well. If the mixture is thick, add more honey.
