12 Homemade Acne-Fighting Face Masks

Acne-Fighting Face Masks  are an effective and fairly simple way to treat all types of acne, whether it is an occasional stress breakout or a chronic acne issue. In addition, spot treating acne with a mask for the occasional pimple can reduce inflammation and kill bacteria without wreaking havoc on other areas of the face that may not be affected. Acne fighting masks can help prevent breakouts from occurring and help balance oil production. Masks can also be an interesting way to change up your normal routine, provide some variation and even can be accompanied by a nice bath or a book.

While there are many mask products on the market, it can be overwhelming to choose which mask is right for your particular skin issue. And possibly you need multiple masks to address different areas of your face and varying needs. Instead, you can make several different at home masks with readily available ingredients, at a fraction of the price.

10 Acne Face Mask Recipes

We’ve rounded up some recipes full of ingredients that are easy to locate, some of which may already be in your home.

1. Turmeric Acne Mask

A turmeric face mask is naturally antiseptic, antibacterial, and works wonders at soothing inflamed acniec skin.

  • Organic apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 tablespoon of organic, raw honey (preferably Manuka honey)
  • Milk

Apply vinegar to a cotton ball and swipe all over the skin. Wait about five minutes before you apply the mask. Mix the turmeric powder with the honey. Use your clean hands to apply the mask, avoiding the eye area. Let the mask sit for 15-20 minutes then rinse with warm water. If the turmeric powder leaves a yellowish tint on the skin, use a milk-soaked cotton ball to go over stained areas. Mask can be used twice a week.

2. Avocado and Lemon Spot Treatment Mask

Avocado stimulates collagen production, which aids in cell regeneration. Avocado is also loaded with anti-inflammatory hydrating fats that won’t clog pores. The honey is antibacterial while the lemon juice lightens hyperpigmentation.

  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1 tablespoon raw honey
  • Half of a lemon

Mash one ripe avocado until smooth, mix in 1 tablespoon of honey and squeeze the half lemon. Mix together thoroughly and apply as spot treatment or to affected areas. If you have sensitive skin, use less lemon or skip it altogether. Leave on for 5-10 minutes. Due to the photosensitivity of lemon, apply this mask in the evening.

3. Honey & Baking Soda Face Mask

Combine anti-inflammatory baking soda with exfoliating lemon juice and soothing honey for an easy, effective acne-fighting face mask.

  • 1 teaspoon lemon
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

Add lemon juice, honey and baking soda to a small bowl. Mix well and apply over the face and neck. Avoid the area near your eyes (lemon juice and honey will both sting). Don’t turn this into a scrub by rubbing it into your skin. After 15 minutes, remove the mask with warm water, then with cold water.

A caution when using lemon juice: Although lemon has lightening and brightening qualities, it can also make the skin photosensitive. Rinse your face thoroughly, preferably use at nighttime due to photosensitivity of lemon, or be prepared to use a zinc oxide spf 30+ sunscreen if you’ll be out in the sun soon afterward.

4. Apple Cider Vinegar & Clay Face Mask

Clay draws out impurities from the pores while the natural acids in apple cider vinegar address acne by gently slough away dead skin cells.

  • 1 tablespoon clay
  • 1 probiotic capsule
  • 2 tablespoons raw apple cider vinegar

Combine clay and probiotic powder in a small bowl. Add the ACV to make a paste. It’s okay to use more, if needed, to get a smooth, spreadable consistency. With clean fingers spread over face and let sit for 15 minutes. Rinse with cool water and apply moisturizer.

5. Charcoal and Aloe Face Mask

Charcoal absorbs excess oil while aloe is soothing and anti-inflammatory, making it an ideal ingredient to add to any acne mask.

  • 1 tablespoon activated charcoal
  • 1 tablespoon aloe vera gel
  • Plus 1 drop of tea tree oil

Mix ingredients together in small bowl and use your finger to mix together before applying to the skin. In circular motions, work the charcoal mixture around your face for 1 minute then let the mask sit for 10-15 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with warm water.
