Clear skin isn't always something that you are born with. Many people have to work at making their skin look as flawless as Hollywood stars. Luckily for you, if you suffer from acne and blotchy skin, you don't have to look any further than your kitchen cupboards. Don't waste away the days longing for clear skin, create homemade masks and make your dream a reality.

Lemon Juice And Tomato Mask

We can't all be blessed with flawless skin when some people suffer from dark circles on the eyes. Whether you are coming along in your years or it is genetic, dark circles can hinder your appearance, making you look tired. If you are looking for a way to mask the dark circles, use a lemon juice and tomato mask. Lemons are full of vitamin C, which will make the skin under your eyes stronger. Tomatoes have natural bleaching properties. These two ingredients will brighten the dark circles and make you look well rested.

In a small bowl, mix two tablespoons of lemon juice with one pureed tomato until you have formed a thick paste. Massage the solution into your skin and allow it to sit for five to ten minutes. If you are looking to pack an even more powerful punch to your skin, add a teaspoon of rose water. Rose water works as a skin toner and will cause the bags under your eyes to shrink.

Egg White And Honey Mask

You don't need to break your bank to make your pores to minimize the appearance of unsightly pores. You don't even need to spend your money on make-up. Just use a mask made of egg whites and honey. Honey is a natural antioxidant and it is sticky so it will pull any dirt and harmful oils, leaving your skin clean and smooth. Egg whites will cause your pores to shrink and tighten.

Mix one egg white and three teaspoons of honey together in a small bowl. You should use a wet cloth to apply the mixture to your face so that you fingers don't get too messy. Once the mask has completely dried, remove it with lukewarm water. You should refrain from using warm or hot water to remove the mask from your face. If you use warm water, your pores will open up and undo the mask treatment.

Yogurt And Avocado Mask

One skin imperfection that seems to plague many people is dry skin. Lotions and other moisturizers can just add more oil to your skin and cause your pores to clog. To combat the dry skin, make a mask of avocado and yogurt. These two ingredients will replenish your skins vitamins. The lactic acid in yogurt will also kill the harmful bacteria that causes acne.

Mix a mashed avocado with one-fourth of a cup of plain yogurt. Apply this mask to your entire face, until it is covered and let it sit for five minutes. This mask will cleanse, rejuvenate and hydrate your skin.

Not everyone can be lucky enough to have clear and flawless skin. Sometimes, it takes a little extra work but it doesn't have to take extra money. Using one of the mask listed above will give your clear and healthy looking skin. To learn more, contact a company like Advanced Dermatology Care with any questions you have.
