Why? Because this is the day we give thanks for the incredible, healing properties of nature and plant extracts and how they can treat acne. Discovering easy to make acne recipes and acne facemasks takes us away from “being the victim” mentality, to being back in control.

Let’s start by talking about the three main skin types – oily, dry and sensitive. Our skin is the largest organ of our body and when it comes to treating acne with natural skin care recipes and acne facemasks the first step is to work out your skin type.

Some people have a combination so maybe a good idea is to draw a map of your face to plot what areas might be oily, dry or more sensitive so you can work out what acne recipes will work the most effectively. This will save you time, money and unnecessary aggravation.

There is a huge list of some of the most incredible natural ingredients that work powerfully and scientifically to eradicate acne. When you understand how these ingredients work and why theu have such a huge following.

There simply isn't enough room here to share all the recipes and awesome secrets to clear skin at home here but it will certainly give you an idea of what you can use in your acne recipes and acne facemasks:

  • Tea Tree Oil or Manuka Oil – this little gem packs a powerful punch when it comes to working as a natural antiseptic which is why it works a treat on oily skin. It is the perfect toner and helps the skin naturally get rid of excess oil. This acne recipe is pure toning heaven
  • Honey - this has been used for thousands of years for its antibacterial and antimicrobial properties
  • Spices and herbs - spices and herbs like turmeric are naturally potent antibacterial making them perfect for acne masks

These are my three favorite ingredients to use in an acne facemask base, but there are many more that also deal with acne scarring and calm painful redness associated with acne breakouts.

Apart from the use for acne, these ingredients are also quite effective for diabetes treatment.
