Homemade face mask for acne and clear skin

I no longer suffer from acne but whenever I get the odd spot it does leave a scar (dark patch) sometimes its also nice to have brighter clearer skin especially in the summer months when its hot and humid. If you have sensitive skin or delicate skin then you may find that not all products suit your skin, I find that some face masks end up giving me spots rather than stopping them from appearing!

After research and trying out different things myself the best homemade face mask that works for me is Turmeric and Honey. Please note that I have tan skin but from what I hear even fair skin can use this mask, it does not stain! It just makes you glow and cleans the skin.


How to make face mask
You will need turmeric, honey, a small bowl and a spoon, that's it!

Take a tablespoon of turmeric and put in a clean dry bowl
Then add a teaspoon of honey and stir until combined

If you want more or less then adjust the quantities, I then put it in the fridge for a few hours and apply before having a shower. Leave it on until it dries, it should not itch, sting/burn or feel uncomfortable, if you experience any of this then wash off immediately. You may be allergic to a component in the ingredients.

When you put on the face mask remember that it will stain clothes, hands and towels! So wear an old t-shirt and use an old or dark towel that you don't mind staining. After I washed mine off it didn't stain my towel or hands but everyone is different. My skin felt soft and clearer afterwards :)

The reason I put mine in the fridge is because I have large pores so putting it on cold will help close them and make them look smaller but you don't have to refrigerate it if you don't want to. Like I said it works for me but may not work for you, as you only need two ingredients which you may already have in your kitchen cupboard its worth a try.
