Acne is something we can’t permanently eliminate, however we can help our body out with ridding those pesky bumps by speeding up the process.

1 C. boiling water
Instructions:
Steep basil leaves in water for 10 to 20 minutes, the longer you let them steep the stronger the tonic will be. If you have mild acne, 10 minutes is fine. If you have severe acne let it sit awhile longer for about 20 minutes. Cool, and then apply to face with a white cotton ball. Let mask dry and harden - about 30-40 minutes. Soak a towel in warm water and lay it across your face till the mask starts to soften up, then gently rub it with the towel in a circular motion. Rinse with plenty of warm water.
Oatmeal Mask
Besides acne, using oatmeal as a facial mask can be a natural and effective way to treat many other skin conditions, such as oily or dry skin, razor burns, acne, and sunburn. This particular oatmeal mask recipe incorporates many of the ingredients used in previous recipes; in a way you can say this is the ultimate homemade acne formula!
Ingredients:
Oatmeal (not sweetened or flavored)
Lemon Juice
Baking Soda
Egg White
Olive oil
Instructions:
First, you must cook the oatmeal then fluff up one egg white with a fork in a small bowl. Fold the egg into the mixture until it is smooth and easy to spread on your face. Add a few drops of lemon juice because it can help remove excess oil from your skin, which will be helpful if you have blackheads or blemishes. Lemon juice also evens out skin tone by eliminating dark patches and discolorations. That is the basic ingredients for the oatmeal mask but you can spice things up by adding baking soda which can soothe itchy skin, and olive oil which can help reduce wrinkles.
Now smooth the oatmeal mask onto your face but be careful around your eyes, since oatmeal can cause irritation. Allow the oatmeal mask to dry completely before you remove it then rinse the mask off with cool to lukewarm water for hot water can expand your pores, causing more pimples. Dab dry with a soft washcloth to avoid irritating the skin.
* Dry, uncooked oatmeal, mixed with a little lemon juice and olive oil, can also make an effective facial scrub. Use just enough olive oil to make the oatmeal damp, not soaked, for the best results.
I’m sure that by using these homemade acne recipes they will definitely help clear your skin and make it pimple free! So that when you wake up each day, you’ll wake up with self confidence abound. In fact, you’ll feel like a god/goddess straight from Greek mythology itself. Well, maybe you won’t be immortal and all powerful but you’ll definitely emit a glow like you’ve never had!
