There are so many reasons why acne is so irritating (pardon the pun). Your skin is sore when you feel an acne breakout on it's way It is ugly - red spots are not something we like showing to the public It can leave scars and pock marks (or ice pick marks) It is persistent and resistant to many acne wash ingredients If you have been spending silly amounts of money and time trying to eliminate your acne and are sick of paying for no results, then you'll be happy to know that you can deal with acne at home using all natural homemade facial masks for pimples and breakouts. Natural ingredients are just as potent and usually more effective, they are less likely to give you nasty side effects and don;t contain any chemicals to irritate or toxify your skin. Ingredients you can use in acne masks that have natural antibacterial properties are: Honey: honey has been used for thousands of years in and on wounds and infections due to its wonderful antimicrobial bacteria fighting properties. UMF is even more potent and has been used on eczema affected skins with great success. Oatmeal: another ingredient long used in wounds with honey for helping to fight infections. Honey and oatmeal was often left in wounds on the battlefields of many countries. Oatmeal is soothing for irritation calming red sore skin and pimple breakouts. It is also healing and can be added to acne facial masks in ground or strained liquid from. Basil and Rosemary: The crushed leaves of these two herbs are naturally antibacterial and can be added to a bacteria fighting face mask. Turmeric: this is a very powerful internal and external antibacterial spice, turmeric has many benefits for skin because it fights infection and is a powerful bacteria inhibitor. It is great when mixed with honey, unsweetened yogurt or milk to prevent the spread of infection and fight existing bacteria. Yogurt (unsweetened): this contains natural bacteria that combats "bad" bacteria like acne bugs and other infections. It makes a great acne mask base to add other ingredients to. Apple cider vinegar: his calms and balances skin helping the healing process and makes the skin less hospitable to acne bacteria. Chamomile tea and ginger teas: these calm inflammation as a rinse. Tea tree and lavender oils: these are both highly antimicrobial and tea tree is a natural antibiotic. Lavender is not as potent a bacteria fighter but is very calming ash soothing of irritated skin. Tea tree and lavender oil (few drops only so it is not too strong) in a mask make the acne mask very antiseptic. Neem oil: soothing and antibacterial oil you can add to acne masks to ill acne bacteria. Banana: high in potassium and healing vitamins the potassium inhibits acne bacteria and the vitamins help healing scars. Coconut oil (extra virgin cold pressed): coconut oil is natural high in antibacterial properties, is great for sensitive skin and is moisturising even for oily skin without being greasy. It even helps prevent acne scars. Baking soda: this dries out acne spots making the skin less hospitable for bacteria to flourish. You can make any mask for these ingredients depending on what you have around the house. Make a base form yogurt, honey or yogurt (use honey wherever possible in all masks) and add other ingredients to suit. My top picks for a very effective treatment are tea tree oils, lavender oil, yogurt and honey as a mask. And coconut oil is you can get it. Go on - try your own masks applied three to five times a week and watch your acne clear up and skin improve. Feel free to mix and match your ingredients. Homemade Facial Masks For Acne
