DIY: BAKING SODA FACE MASK RECIPE FOR ACNE, ACNE SCARS & OPEN PORES

I tried three versions of this baking soda face mask and I have to say, it is one of the quickest way to get rid of acne, open pores & acne scars. Baking soda face masks also leave our skin brighter after using it. 

Of the three versions, first method was mixing the baking soda with lemon juice. It will start foaming once the lemon juice is added, now add pure unadulterated honey to it and your face mask is ready. 

I have a very normal skin, but when I applied this combination it started burning, so if you have sensitive skin, please stay away from this combination. I am writing this because many books and articles ask people to try this combination for all skin types. The second one was baking soda mixed with honey. 

I liked this combination and there was no burning sensation on my skin at all. So if you have sensitive skin, then this is the best combination for you. The last one was the baking soda mixed with plain water and I experienced slight tingling sensation but nothing much.

DIY APPLE CIDER VINEGAR FACE MASK RECIPE FOR ACNE & ACNE SCARS

This homemade apple cider vinegar face mask has many skin benefits. This mask is especially useful for people who are suffering from sensitive and acne prone skin.
I have a normal skin and every face pack agrees with me, so I have never
thought about face packs for people with acne prone, sensitive skin. 

But one of my friends, who has a very sensitive skin always complains that she cannot
use any face packs on her skin. When I was searching for recipes for acne prone skin, I found that apple cider based face masks does wonders for acne, so I tried it with white clay, fresh apple puree, apple cider vinegar and dried herbs. 

As you can see, all these ingredients are very good for preventing acne but are very gentle on the skin. Apple cider vinegar is amazing in preventing break outs, but if you have a very sensitive skin, it is hard to use apple cider mask directly on the skin. But when combined together like in this mask with other acne preventing natural ingredients, it greatly prevents acne without any skin irritation.

Though there are millions of medicated creams and lotions for acne, almost every cream comes with a side effect. This home remedy for acne is very mild and can be used continuously even for months together, without any side effects.
