Face masks make a nice treat for your skin. With all the dirt, pollution and harsh conditions it can get exposed to, your regular skin care products and routine might not be enough to rejuvenate your skin and bring back its natural glow.
For acne-prone skin, however, not all face masks can do wonders. Some can make your skin oilier while others can trigger more breakouts.To make sure none of those things happen, here are 2 DIY face masks for acne we highly, highly recommend.
1.Banana Face Mask : This might sound weird, but trust us. Banana can do wonders for your skin, especially if it’s prone to breakouts.
For one, banana has vitamin C which is effective in reducing post breakout spots. It’s also one of the best vitamins in reducing skin inflammation and speeding up wound healing.
It also has vitamin A that can treat your acne and help your skin repair itself.
Another interesting ingredient in this face mask is honey. This ingredient has natural antibacterial properties to fight off acne-causing microorganisms.
- Peel the banana and use a fork to mash it up.
- Once there are no more chunks and solid pieces, mix the honey and stir carefully.
- Apply the face mask on your face and neck.
- Let it sit on your skin for 30 minutes before rinsing
2.Baking Soda and Apple Cider Vinegar Mask : If you’ve been hunting for a great acne solution, there’s a good chance you’ve already read the good things about apple cider vinegar. It’s actually an amazing stuff.
For one, it has malic acid which is able to kill bacteria, fungi and viruses. It can also restore your skin’s pH balance.
Sodium bicarbonate, meanwhile, works well in loosening the skin around clogged pores. It can also soothe inflammation.
Now, to get started with this DIY face mask for acne, you’ll need the following:
- Half glass of water
- ½ lemon
- Sodium bicarbonate
- Honey
- 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar
- Dilute your apple cider vinegar in a half glass of water.
- Get a separate container where you can place your baking soda.

- Squeeze the lemon and add the honey.
- On a freshly cleansed face, apply the mask and let it sit for around 10 minutes.
