If your acne problem is more external, such as skin oil redundancy, enlarged pores or soiling you may achieve good results with simple skin care procedures. Acne masks can be very different and contain different components, but all of them work on the principle: parch skin, move away a skin oil redundancy and confine pores.
All masks should be applied on a clear skin. It is also useful to have a steam bath and to make an additional skin clearance with any soft scrub. Always remember to give a cold water rinse, because the pores which get opened by warm water will get contracted if you rinse off with cold water. You may also prefer ice-cube.
You can use as professional, so homemade masks. Take care! Test all professional masks before applying it on the face. Apply a little on a wrist bend or behind an ear and control your reaction about 15 minutes after washing-off. You should not feel any discomfort and oversee erubescence or dermal irritation.
You may also try to make acne masks at home by yourself. The main component of these masks is camphor as a perfect anti-inflammatory agent. For acne or oily skin, the very choice camphor offers important anti-bacterial benefits. After cleansing, it helps to rehabilitate skin's normal pH balance; it also cures the excess-oil problem and refreshes skin. Camphor also stimulates blood circulation which helps to remove soiling. You may get it in a regular chemists shop.
