I don't use homemade masks, I use a good astringent.





If your face is really acne prone, you might want to go for a good, thick, mud mask. You'd be better buying one (from AVEDA preferrably) than making one at home. The reason why is because we don't really know the quality of our at home ingredients compared to those the companies use.
