Acne, pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads appear usually on oily skin due to clogged skin pores.
Though it's impossible to control all the factors that cause acne breakouts, you can take measures to reduce the problem. Many dermatologists will ask you to go for antibiotics or creams. However, there are a number of all-natural homemade masks that you can apply to get rid of or reduce the breakouts.
Baking Soda:
It is considered the best home remedy for acne as it sooths itching and inflamation around zits. It also removes blackheads and whiteheads. Mix one part of baking soda and two parts of water (preferably warm), and leave this mixture on your face for about 10 minutes. You may add some honey to the mix as it moisturizes the skin. After rinsing your face, if your face feels dry, apply an oil-free moisturizer.
Tea tree oil:
It is an excellent antiseptic and anti-microbial, thus it is great for the skin. Make a face mask by mixing two tablespoons of distilled water, one tablespoon each of baking soda and honey, and five to six drops of tea tree oil. Apply this mask once a day in case you have a severe acne problem.
