While looking for a natural acne product for my niece who has severe acne, I found this one that uses dried comfrey to heal the skin and Fuller's earth to dry out the infected sebum. This treatment will help heal, balance and clear your blemishes, it can be used on any skin type and is simple to make.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • 1 egg white
  • 1 tablespoons of dried comfrey
  • 6 ounces of boiling water
  • 4 tablespoons of Fuller's earth
  • whisk
  • 3 small bowls
  • strainer
  1. Step 1

    Boil 6 ounces of water.

  2. Step 2

    Whisk the egg white in a bowl until it is stiff and set aside.

  3. Step 3

    Place the 2 tablespoons of dried comfrey in another bowl and pour the boiling water over it. Cover the bowl and leave it to cool.

  4. Step 4

    After the liquid has cooled, strain the liquid infusion.

  5. Step 5

    Place the Fuller's earth into another bowl and add 4 tablespoons of the infusion. Slowly stir in the egg white a little at a time until the mixture becomes thick. Make sure you add the egg a little at a time so you get the right consistency otherwise the mask will be runny.

  6. Step 6

    Apply the mixture to your face and then relax for 30 minutes. Rinse the mixture off your face after 30 minutes using warm water. Splash the remainder of the cold comfrey infusion on your face and let it dry naturally. Do not rinse off.

Tips & Warnings
  • Use mixture once a week to help clear your acne.
