How to Make an Acne-Reducing Face Mask
Making an acne-reducing face mask at home is a simple procedure than can be done in less than 20 minutes, though the mixture must infuse overnight before the first use. This homemade acne-reducing mask will help remove bad oils causing pimples and bumps by using two highly-effective, natural astringents; fresh squeezed lemon juice and apple cider vinegar. This face mask will keep in the refrigerator for about one week. The mask can be used on other areas of the skin where breakouts may occur. Does this Spark an idea?

Tips & Warnings
Apply the acne-reducing face mask only to pimples and blemishes, as the mixture will dry out healthy skin. Allow the mask to dry fully before rinsing with warm water.
Avoid mixing or storing any type of homemade skin care or cosmetics products in an aluminum container, as there is serious concern about heavy metals entering the body through the pores.
