<img data-pin-url="https://botaneri.com/clear-skin-diy-face-mask-for-acne/" data-pin-description="Nature has gifted us with tons of plant-based ingredients you can use to fight acne. This mask contains easy-to-find ingredients packed with anti-acne benefits that can easily made at home. Jojoba Oil or Evening Primrose Oil While it may seem counterintuitive to add oil to your face when dealing with acne, oily skin is often your body’s way of counteracting skin that is too dry. Because jojoba oil closely resembles your skin’s natural oil, applying it regularly signals your body to decrease sebum production. Jojoba oil is great for anyone battling acne in particular because it also helps clear out pores and has anti-bacterial properties. In fact, a study in 2012 found that patients who used a jojoba oil face mask twice a week saw a 54% reduction in their acne over the course of 6 weeks. Evening primrose oil is another hidden gem when it comes to fighting acne because it is high in linoleic acid and gamma linoleic acid (GLA). Recent studies have found that people with acne-prone skin tend to have lower levels of these essential fatty acids. You can help correct this imbalance and reap their anti-inflammatory and moisturizing benefits, while supporting a healthy skin barrier, with topical evening primrose oil. Coconut Palm Sugar Skip the sugar in your diet (it’s bad news for your skin) and use it in your skincare instead! It acts as a two-for-one exfoliator because its small particles scrub away dead skin cells and it’s a natural source of glycolic acid. Glycolic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), so it encourages cell turnover and helps slough away dead skin cells. Coconut palm sugar is preferred because its gentler on the skin but you can substitute for regular cane sugar. Raw Honey or Glycerin Raw honey is an all-star in the DIY skincare world because it’s an effective natural moisturizer and cleanser for all skin types. It also has powerful anti-microbial and anti-bacterial properties and penetrates deep into your pores, making it a winner for any face mask targeting acne. Alternatively, glycerin is also a natural moisturizer, but it is also an emollient, meaning it helps smooth and fill in skin. If you prefer a lighter feeling mask, you can swap it in place of honey. Tea Tree or Rosemary Essential Oil Tea Tree oil has been used medicinally for centuries to treat skin ailments ranging from acne to dandruff to ringworm, thanks to its anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory properties. Research has even specifically shown it to be effective against the acne-causing bacteria P.acnes. That’s why it’s a star ingredient in this DIY Witch Hazel, Rosemary, and Tea Tree Acne-Blasting Gel. Similarly, studies have found that rosemary essential oil also targets and kills P.acnes bacteria to help treat and prevent breakouts. Bonus: Spirulina For an extra acne-fighting boost, add spirulina to your mask. Spirulina also contains gamma-linoleic acid (like evening primrose oil), and will give your mask a beautiful color for a touch of added luxury." width="2100" height="1050" src="https://botaneri.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/diy-mask-for-acne-1.jpg" class="attachment-full size-full wp-post-image" alt="diy-mask-for-acne" srcset="https://botaneri.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/diy-mask-for-acne-1.jpg 2100w, https://botaneri.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/diy-mask-for-acne-1-300x150.jpg 300w, https://botaneri.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/diy-mask-for-acne-1-768x384.jpg 768w, https://botaneri.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/diy-mask-for-acne-1-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https://botaneri.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/diy-mask-for-acne-1-1100x550.jpg 1100w" sizes="(max-width: 2100px) 100vw, 2100px" />
