If your skin feels dry after this, use a light cream.

When that happens, this mask will help close your pores, get silky smooth skin and reduce scarring. Honey also has disinfecting properties that thoroughly clean pores.

This mask is a miracle and the honey also exfoliates your skin. You can choose to apply it only to the areas where you have acne. But you can also multiply the effects by using it all over your face.

4. Turmeric and Coconut Oil Mask

This option is perfect for hydrating, adding antioxidants and supplying your skin with fatty acids.

Coconut oil restores the balance of oil in your skin while fighting infection and inflammation.
