Homemade Acne Mask

Ugh. So I made plans to hang out with a friend that I haven't seen in probably a year...and of course the night before I get a nice red blemish under my nose. 

Thanks a lot face, thanks a lot!

So of course I quickly looked up a "GET RID FAST" remedy! This is the Homemade Mask for Acne!

 

What you need:

1 bowl

3 tbs of baking soda

2 tbs of HOT water

Mix the baking soda with water!

It will fizz and bubble up (it was fun hehe)

Mix until it's a bit thick.

The baking soda will settle at the bottom so when you apply make sure you mix it right before.

 

Apply the mixture to your face (yes I am AWARE of what it looks like)

and let sit (and dry!) for 15 minutes!

When it dries, it flakes and powders off - so be careful. I was snorting baking soda up my nose.

I also had a headache - in case you can't tell.

 

My caption for this (and yes it I sent it to a couple people) was "Damn that powdered doughnut was good!"

But seriously... when your face looks like this...

Wash off with warm water!

You can also add an additional step to this mask - rub your skin where you just applied the mask vigorously with lime slices (chilled), stressing in the area that is breaking out.

I didn't have lime so I didn't do this part!

My review: My face dried up. The blemish did become dry, however the next morning it was back. Stupid bugger. So I don't think this is a QUICK FIX treatment but I have been doing it for the past 2 days and the blemish is less red and not as large!

I'd love to read your reviews when you try this!
