If you have acne, you will want to give this DIY Face Mask for Acne a try. Not only is it so easy to make but it works really well.

In doing some research, I learned that oatmeal is good for exfoliating and very versatile.  Oatmeal cleans out acne trouble areas and removes dead skin.

Combine that with baking soda and your pores will be clean too. This is the best face mask, and you don’t have to worry about ingredients you can’t pronounce or harsh chemicals.

I also make DIY Face Toner for Acne Prone Skin and DIY Face Moisturizer.
