The world has come to depend on medicines and doctors so much nowadays that we’ve erased almost all faith on treatment from natural herbal remedies from the nature around us, one where ancient humans lived in and happily treated themselves too. Acne treatment can also be done by going back to the roots. Acne vulgaris is a condition that’s been around for centuries. A quick internet search or browsing through a good book will give you recipes for hundreds of homemade acne masks. However, not all of these will work for everyone or be accessible. We share with you our tried-and-tested top 5 homemade acne masks that can easily be made at home and have a 95% effectiveness rate.

1.    Baking Soda Mask

This is the most effective homemade acne mask ever! Hundreds testify of its wonders. Take water and baking soda. Mix 2 teaspoons of baking soda with a glass of water, cleanse face, and apply to pimples. After ten minutes or less, remove the mask. The softer touch and gentleness of your face will be evident. However, keep in mind that baking soda doesn’t work for everyone. IF it’s working for you, apply it 2-3 times per week to quickly get rid of your acne.

2.    Salt Mask

You’ll be wondering what type of acne mask can use salt? Well, you’ll be surprised at its effectiveness. Take some cooking or sea salt and mix in water. Stand the mixture for twenty minutes before applying to pimples. Now, leave again for fifteen minutes. When the salt water dries, it instantly dehydrates and cleans out your pimples. On the other hand, you could take a short cut and just go for a little swim in the salty sea!

3.    Onion & Oatmeal Mask

Nope, you aren’t cooking a meal here, but this sure is one useful acne mask. It’s a bit more complex though. However, the results are much better too. Ignore the smell of onion in the mixture since it’s an important ingredient. Peel 1 medium-sized onion and blend to puree. Cook half a cup of non-sweetened, plain oatmeal. Wait for it to cool. Add the onion puree. Now apply to face and leave for fifteen minutes. If consistency of mixture isn’t thick enough, add honey to make it hold.

4.    Egg Whites Mask

Almost everyone’s always got eggs at home or can run over to the grocery store to grab some. To make this one, you have to first separate the egg whites from the yolks. This can be a bit tricky. Then, take the separated white eggs and whip them till you get that dense consistency. If you’ve got oily skin, you could add lemon juice too. Then, wash your face and apply mask. Leave for around fifteen minutes, then wash with lukewarm water. You’ll instantly notice tightened pores and less visible pimples. Now, that’s definitely the easiest face mask to whip up at home.

5.    Yogurt Mask

This is another simple and effective one. Honey, one of the most powerful and useful natural ingredients, can be combined with yogurt to treat acne. Warm 1 teaspoon of soft honey. For dry skin, use 2 teaspoons full. Now, mix it with one tablespoon of yogurt of reduced fat. Now, apply to face and leave for fifteen minutes. Wipe off with washcloth and wash face afterwards. It is recommended that this be repeated about 2-3 times a week.

1.    Washing Too Much

Everyone that meets you has only one piece of advice to give: ‘wash your face daily, you dirty girl/boy.’ Although washing is important to remove harmful bacteria and dead cells of skin from the surface, if you’re washing more than twice in a day, you’re definitely OVERDOING it.
