As a part of my Home Acne Remedies posts, I would like to talk about some homemade acne masks that can help clear up your acne.
Now, when I say 'homemade,' I mean 'household,' meaning that the majority of these masks can be made with items that you can commonly find around a house.
If you're looking for acne masks in general, be sure to check out my post on acne masks. This post will not only contain the below information, but it will also discuss store acne masks. (post currently unavailable.
Homemade Acne Mask vs Commercial.
1. It's sometimes better to get back to the old remedies, instead of trying some store-bought product.
2. Ingredients are often more natural than commercial products.
3. Low price.
4. Works just as well, if not better than commercial products..
Note: You may need to go to the store to purchase ingredients for some of these remedies. Also note that not all of these remedies include all natural ingredients.
All of the following masks are good for individual aspects of your face. Some do better than others. However, all of these masks have been tested and have usually received some sort of positive outcome.
Aspirin Acne Mask - Aspirin has been used as an acne mask for quite awhile now, and it's said to give a glow to your face, along with reducing pimple size, redness, and acne scars.
Egg Whites Acne - This is a great little tip that will have you making your own mask from home. Best of all, you only need eggs for this trick.
Oatmeal Acne Mask - Although I haven't tried this face mask, I've heard that it works pretty well. Why not give it a try? What do you have to lose?
Garlic Acne Mask - Although it may smell bad, I have heard that it works. Again, I haven't tried it, but feel free to read the article and check it out.

My Favorite Homemade Acne Mask
My favorite homemade acne mask would have to be the egg whites trick. I've used it multiple times with positive results, including decrease in pimple size and redness. One negative to this mask is, if you use it too often, your face will become dry and irritated. I recommend using it only once a day.

Im 12 and struggling with at least 40 small pimples i want a gentle fast working mask have any ideas- Micki a Jonson
No mask alone will get rid of your acne. If you can, I would purchase a product with the active ingredient, Benzoyl Peroxide.
Proactiv and AcneFree both contain benzoyl peroxide.
Well i use acnefree already but it doesnt help enough i have the 3 step pack but i need something else it was great but then it stopped working?! I dont kno wat else 2 do 4 my skin! Help plz
Try Eucerin..it helped get rid of my acne..Apply mask at least twice a week too.
I'm using a 5% Benzoyl Peroxide wash and cream twice a day, prescribed by my doctor. It worked for the first two weeks and I saw a reduction in pimples and no new ones appeared but now my skin seems to have become immune to it because my skin is getting as bad as it was before I started using it. I only started just over a month ago!
I tried cucumber.reduces redness.
I will have to talk about the cucumber. Great idea for a post!
