13 Homemade Face Packs For Oily, Acne-Prone Skin With Videos
Teenage. Aaah! How badly we all wanted to grow up into teenagers when we were little kids? We wanted the freedom and independence that comes with teenage! Every time mom said, “You are too young for it, honey”, we swore to do ‘it’ when we grew up. But who knew? The rosy cheeks would also pave the way to pimples as we ‘grew up’?
Many of us struggle through our teenage or even throughout our whole life, mainly if we have oily skin, with this problem known as acne which is very common. But only a few knows that some effective easy to make home remedies can solve out or at least lessen this problem and also do away with the spots that come with it.
Here we present 13 natural homemade face packs for acne. These face packs for acne and pimples will help you fade those unwanted spots. Do make sure you are not allergic to the ingredients before you try them! Acne happens due to clogged pores that get infected by bacteria. Mostly, oily skinned people get acne problems as the excess oil clogs pores and makes them more susceptible to bacteria to get rid of acne marks.
Before we start off, keep these points in mind –
Always, ALWAYS moisturize after you wash the pack off.
Always apply the pack on a clean and dry face. A little dampness helps in better and faster absorption by the skin.
Ensure that you remove the pack after 20 minutes, or after it dries. Otherwise, the pack will absorb the skin’s natural moisture which is not a good thing.
Pre and post wash of face during pack application with luke warm water enhances the benefits.
Mild exfoliation before application also gives you better results.
Any home remedy for acne and acne scars needs at least two weeks of regular application for visible results.

Apply this pack of salt to the affected areas and leave on for about 30 minutes and wash off.
If you live near a sea, then u can swim and dive and get yourself this treatment naturally. But at most if you can’t get hold of sea salt, then go for normal cooking salt. This can also remove the blemishes with continued use.

It may not at all work for you also but if it does then don’t forget to do it for about three to four times a week constant for about three months at a stretch and then reduce as per need.
11. Egg White Mask
Probably most of you have heard of it, but let me warn you against this as to who have really sensitive skin, it may have adverse reactions to them. But otherwise, this is a miracle mask for people with normal to oily to dry skin with rashes.
All you need to do is you need to separate the egg whites carefully from the yolk.
Now with an electric egg beater (you really need this here) and whip it up to a frothy consistency so that almost no liquid is left. One egg white is sufficient.
Apply the paste on red to swollen areas of acne and leave on for about 15 minutes.
If you have extremely oily skin, then you may want to apply one teaspoon of lemon or orange juice to this frothy mixture.
After 15 minutes you need to wash off with lukewarm water and then with ice cold or plain cold tap water.
12. Yogurt Honey Mask
This is a useful and easy to make pimple preventive and skin cleansing mask, with natural benefits of blemish lightening being an added advantage of this mask.
Just take sour yogurt about four teaspoons and mix to it two teaspoons honey (you may want to blend the honey with some 1 teaspoon of hot water to lessen it’s thickness ) and mix well.
Use it on the face and leave on for about 15 minutes and wash off with lukewarm water in a scrubbing motion and splash with cold water or ice cold water.
Remember to not to use non-fat or low-fat yogurt.
13. Oatmeal, Honey, And Onion Mask
A few people might be disgusted with the odor of onion juice, but this mask has great efficiency if you can really prepare and use it on skin tolerating the smell.
Grate a small onion and get the paste sort of juice out of it about 4 tsp and on the other hand boil up some one cup of nonsweet and non-flavored, plain oatmeal.
When it’s cooked thoroughly, strain out the water and keep it to cool.
In a grinder, mix up this cooked oat meal adding to it the onion paste with its juice to a fine paste.
Now add one teaspoon honey to it and mix it well.
Apply on the skin for about 20-30 minutes and rinse off with plain water.
If this mask proves beneficial to you may make this in increased quantity following the same ratios and store up the excess for upto seven days in the refrigerator in an air tight container.
Tip For Added Benefits
You can mix dry roasted and ground clove powder about half a teaspoon to any of the above mixtures. And you may also mix one teaspoon of turmeric powder to the last pack as well.

Hi Caroline, people with overactive sebaceous glands and excess sebum production are prone to blackheads or whiteheads. Regular skin care and few remedies will help you to combat the problem - 1. Steam - Boil some water in a pan to create steam. Turn off the heat and place your face over the pan while holding a towel over head to trap the steam around your face. Allow the steam to soak into your face for five to eight minutes. Finally, pat dry your skin with a clean towel. 2. Baking soda - Mix a little water in one teaspoon of baking soda to make a thick paste.Apply it on the affected area and wash it off after a few minutes. Repeat once or twice in a week until you are satisfied with the results.
I just want to say that i have an extremely oily skin.Also i have tried every possible home remedy to keep my pimples at bay and the result was not very appreciating. I have almost every type of acne possible and scars too. For the time being i am undergoing a medical treatment for my skin. But i can hardly see any result. Please help me out with this neverlasting problem. Its feels very ugly!!
Hi Nimisha, every treatment and remedy takes time to show results. Be patient and follow the treatment. Also factors such as diet, pollution, stress etc plays an important role in your well being. Make it a habit to consume nutritious food, avoid oily and junk food, exercise regularly, sweating helps to remove toxins from the body. Acne and scars take time to heal, so be patient and stress free.
I have countless tiny teeny bumps on my skin.thet are almost the same colour as my skin.I used a 'Chandrika' facewashand for sometime, they remain smooth.they turn like goosebumps again.what are they, how can I reduce them? HELP!!
Apply pure aloevera gel (pulp or juice) mixed with basil (tulsi) juice and turmeric juice / powder on your whole face at night... Wash off after 10 mins when it gets dry...But don't use any soap / facewash before sleeping ...(don't worry if turmeric stains as the stain will be removed when you bath next day morning.. ) Do this for about a week daily and I am sure you will have a smooth, bumpfree skin... Hope this helps :)
Great post! enjoyed reading it and the packs are so easy to make and apply. The video tutorials just makes the whole process easy. Would love to read more such articles.
