With homemade skin care options, it is possible to maintain the clarity of your skin with natural products and ingredients that you may already have on hand. The following homemade skin care recipes will help you to keep acne away mainly by helping to keep your pores clear of blockages.

Yogurt contains enzymes that, when applied to skin, gently exfoliate by breaking down loose, dead skin. You can use yogurt as a mask by itself or you can thicken it to make the application easier with the addition of corn flour.

Aside from thickening the mask, the corn flour will also help because its mild graininess will help to exfoliate as it is being applied. To make this mask, combine 1 part of corn flour with 2 parts of yogurt and mix thoroughly. Apply the mixture then allow it to dry fully before rinsing off. The time it takes for drying allows time for the enzymes to work and help keep your pores clear.

Another homemade skin care treatment you can mix up involves using the high antioxidant power of cinnamon as well as the antiseptic and antibiotic properties of honey to help fight acne. Mix 1 teaspoon of cinnamon powder and 3 teaspoons of honey into a salve. You can apply the mixture to acne and leave overnight as a spot treatment, then rinse with warm water to help it dissolve.

Hi L,

Yep, these simple, gentle, natural acne skin care options are great. They are basics that can really help keep skin clear at home. This is particularly true for the aspirin mask (that's why the video is also posted) – trying that for two weeks can really help to improve the feel and clarity of skin. Enjoy!
