10 Super Effective Homemade Mud Face Mask Recipes For Acne

by Nilankeeta August 10, 2016

Homemade mud face masks are quite popular among people with oily acne-prone skin. As the name suggests, these masks look like ‘mud’ as the main ingredient used in these is ‘clay’ (fuller’s earth, bentonite clay, white clay, red clay, black clay, pink clay, green clay, kaolin clay, etc.).  We have sorted 5 super effective acne-fighting mud mask for you that you can make at home easily:


  1. Fuller’s Earth And Neem Powder Mask

The most easily available ingredient for preparing a mud face mask is fuller’s earth or multani mitti. It itself is a great natural skincare product for oily acne-prone skin.  TO make the mask even more powerful, we have added neem powder to it. This will increase the antibacterial property of the mask and give you a clean acne-free skin easily.


Ingredients:

  • Fuller’s Earth – 1 teaspoon
  • Fresh cucumber juice – 1 teaspoon
  • Neem powder – 1 teaspoon
  • Rose water – 2 teaspoons

Preparation:


Put the fuller’s earth in a small mixing bowl and add neem powder to it. Pour fresh cucumber juice into it. Also, add the rose water. Mix all the ingredients well. The consistency of the mixture will be neither too thick nor too runny. If you need to adjust the consistency, increase or decrease the quantity of rose water accordingly. Once the mask is ready, spread it all over your face and neck evenly. Wait until it dries completely. After that, wash off with tepid water. For excellent results, use this mask 3-4 days a week.

  1. Fuller’s Earth And Tea Tree Oil Mask

Here is another fuller’s earth mask that is highly effective for oily skin with lots of acne. However, instead of neem powder, it makes use of tea tree essential oil which is also known to be a great antibacterial agent.

Ingredients:

  • Fuller’s Earth – 2 teaspoons
  • Pure honey – 1 teaspoon
  • Rose water – 1 tablespoon
  • Tea tree essential oil – 2 to 3 drops

Preparation:

Take the fuller’s earth in a mixing bowl. Add pure raw honey to it. Also, pour rose water and tea tree essential oil into the bowl. Blend everything well to come up with a uniform mixture. Apply it evenly onto your facial skin and allow drying. It should not take more than 15-20 minutes to dry up. Then, rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry.

  1. Bentonite Clay, Oats And Tea Tree Oil Mask

Bentonite clay is considered as one of the best ingredients to use in homemade acne-fighting mud mask recipes. It deep cleanses the skin cells, provides oxygen to them and creates an alkalizing effect to neutralize the oily skin. The mask is made even more powerful by including the anti-inflammatory ingredient oats and the antiseptic ingredient tea tree oil.
