Homemade Acne Mask - Fuller's Earth, or green clay as it is sometimes called, is one of the oldest and best mask there is to use on acne.
Fuller’s Earth is deep cleansing by removing impurities from the skin and is especially helpful for skin which is prone to spots, blemishes and blackheads. It stimulates the circulation so it feels highly refreshing while it also has a lighting effect on the outer epidermal layer, making it ideal for red angry skin and acne scarring. But don’t just think this is for people with acne problems, as this wonderful green clay will help anyone whose skin is a little stressed.
If you have acne you should steam cleanse your face at least once a week if not twice.
Fuller's Earth can be used as a mask by itself by just adding enough water to make a paste. Try the following recipes :
