Pomegranate may be a bit of a task when it comes to peeling it but it is full of nutrients and totally worth the hard work. However, it is excellent not just in the diet but as a beauty ingredient as well. The antioxidants in it make for an excellent base if acne is an issue for your skin. So here is a face mask made using this amazing fruit along with other supporting ingredients which will help you deal with acne-prone skin and be a respite. 

Pomegranate & Tea Face Mask

While we know that pomegranate has antioxidants, the other source, green tea, too is an antioxidant with anti-inflammatory properties, which are said to help in reducing redness, irritation, and swelling which is synonymous to acne. It also has polyphenols that can fight against infection, and prevent bacterial growth which causes acne. If this wasn't enough, green tea also has Vitamin B2 and Vitamin E, which help in recovery post-acne

You Wil Need

• 1 tbsp green tea powder (matcha tea will also work)
• 1 tbsp pomegranate powder
• 1 tbsp genuine honey (it should not have sugar)
• 1 tbsp curd

Method

• Just mix all the ingredients and apply all over the face and neck. Keep it till it dries up and then wash off with lukewarm water. Do this twice a week. 
• There are some more acne-fighting masks which have said to have been extremely effective. Using other ingredients you may easily find in your kitchen, see what you would like to try.

Apple Cider Vinegar & Clay Face Mask

While clay is excellent for pore cleansing as it draws out impurities, apple cider vinegar helps get rid of dead skin cells. 

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp clay
• 1 probiotic capsule

Method

• Combine the ingredients to make a paste and spread it on the face and neck. Keep it for 15 minutes and wash off with cold water.

Charcoal and Aloe Face Mask

While aloe vera is anti-inflammatory and soothing, charcoal absorbs excess oil. This combination is perfect for acne. 

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp aloe gel
• 1 tbsp activated charcoal
• 1 drop of tea tree oil

Method

• Mix the ingredients well and using your finger, apply all over the face in a massaging circular motion and do so for a minute. 
• Let the mask sit for 15 minutes.
• Rinse with warm water. 

In case you are allergic to a certain ingredient then it is best to avoid it as we do not want to aggravate the acne.
