What is a good homemade face mask for skin with acne?
I have acne and my skin is very oily. I'd like to try a face mask that will help my troubled and oily skin. Any simple homemade recipes??

- Here are some good ones: Acne Tonic with Basil 2 to 3 teaspoons dried basil leaves 1 C. boiling water Steep basil leaves in water for 10 to 20 minutes. Cool, then apply to face with a white cotton ball. Blackhead Remover Mask 1/2 cup fuller's earth 1 tsp. tincture of benzoin distilled witch hazel Combine all ingredients and stir thoroughly. Apply the mask to your skin. Let mask dry and harden - about 30-40 minutes. Soak a small hand towel in warm water and lay it across your face. When the mask starts to soften up, gently rub it with the towel in a circular motion. Rinse with plenty of warm water. Oatmeal Mask Blend some oatmeal with water and gently spread it onto your skin. Leave it until it dries (10-15 minutes). This mask is gentle and safe. Egg Yolk Mask Egg Yolks contain Vitamin A which is good for scarring. To attempt this method of acne treatment, whip up an egg yolk, apply it to your skin for 20 minutes. Wash off. Baking Soda Mask to Fight Acne This is so easy to make and can work wonders if your skin likes it. (Remember, not every cause of acne is the same, so you need to try different remedies and masks until you find the ones that work for you.) All you need are two ingredients. Baking Soda (NOT baking powder) and water. Mix a little together in your hands after washing your face with a mild cleanser and apply gently to your skin. Once you've coated your face with the baking soda and water mix, let it sit while you do other things around the house, or relax and read a book. Rinse the baking soda film off your face and feel how soft and clear it feels. If your skin enjoys this recipe, and your acne improves, then you may try it several times a week to help clear your acne.
