Coconut oil has antibacterial and antifungal properties, so it’s an ideal choice to help fight acne. Add to that the soothing and pH-balancing power of oatmeal, and you’ve got an amazing recipe for clearer skin.

OATMEAL & COCONUT OIL FACE MASK INGREDIENTS

Scoop 3 tablespoons of oatmeal into a mixing bowl.

Add ¼ cup of warm water.

Mix until you’ve made a paste.

Add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil and mix well.

Wash your face and neck with warm water and an oil-free cleanser to cleanse your face and open pores.

Apply the mixture and let it sit for 15 minutes.

When the 15 minutes are up, gently massage your entire face using small circular motions for another 2 minutes. This brief massage will help remove dead skin cells, that if left, can clog pores.

Finally, rinse the mask off with cool or lukewarm water.

Pat your skin dry with a soft, clean towel.

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.

AVOCADO & VITAMIN E FACE MASK INGREDIENTS

Remove the pit and skin from half of an avocado.

Mash the avocado in a mixing bowl.

Add 1 teaspoon of Vitamin E oil.

Mix well.

Wash your face and neck with warm water and an oil-free cleanser to remove makeup and open pores.

Apply the mask and let it dry for 15 minutes.

Remove the mask with lukewarm water first, then splash your face with cool water to close your pores.

Gently pat your skin dry with a clean towel.

HONEY, OAT & WHOLE MILK FACE MASK

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.

Pour 3 tablespoons of dried oats into a blender.

Add 1 tablespoon of whole milk and mix until you’ve made a paste.

Mix in 1 tablespoon of organic honey.

Wash your face and neck with warm water and an oil-free cleanser to remove makeup and open pores.

Remove the mixture from the blender and apply evenly.

Let the mixture dry for 15 minutes.

Rinse the mask off with warm water, then splash your face with cool water to close your pores.

Pat your skin dry with a soft towel.
