Goodbye, acne. Hello, clear skin!

2) Avocado & Vitamin E Face Mask

Vitamin E is a powerful immune system booster when taken orally, which also makes it great for treating and preventing stubborn acne-prone skin. But the benefits don’t end there. When Vitamin E oil is applied directly to your skin, over time, it can help reduce the appearance of stubborn acne scars.

This beneficial vitamin is naturally found in green, leafy vegetables and some nuts, like almonds. You can also purchase Vitamin E as an oil for topical application.

For even more acne-fighting benefits, mix a Vitamin E oil with avocado. When combined, these ingredients produce a powerful anti-acne due for a clearer complexion.

  8. Gently pat your skin dry with a clean towel.

3) Honey, Oat & Whole Milk Face Mask

Most over-the-counter acne treatments contain harsh ingredients that can do your skin more harm than good. Skip the chemicals and go with an all-natural treatment, like honey, instead.

Honey is a natural nourishing agent known for its ability to help skin retain moisture, which prevents your body from producing excess oil that can lead to acne.

Oats are beneficial for acne-prone skin too. They contain properties that will help keep your skin clear and healthy. Add to that the skin-tightening lactic acid in whole milk, and you’ve got a great recipe for all your acne-prevention needs.

Another surprising benefit of baking soda is that it’s a natural exfoliant that is especially effective for those with sensitive skin. It can also help keep your skin’s pH levels balanced, which is an important factor in the fight against acne.

Never heard of kefir? It’s essentially a type of yogurt. The neat thing about kefir, though, is that it contains approximately 40 times more beneficial bacteria than regular yogurt. That’s great news for your skin!

The extra bacteria coupled with the lactic acid in kefir will exfoliate, hydrate, and soothe red, acne-prone skin. The antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties in the honey will add extra healing properties to this recipe, making it a great addition to any beauty routine.
