10 Home Remedies for Acne or Pimples

9. Milk and Honey

Milk and honey baths were a favorite for Cleopatra. The acids found in milk can not only treat breakouts, but lighten dark marks for a more even skin tone and can sooth redness. Honey is helpful because it is antibacterial.

To create a milk and honey mask, you will need a tablespoon of both raw honey and plain, full-fat milk or yogurt. Be sure you are using raw honey and not one loaded with extra preservatives or sugars! These unnecessary additives could lead to a break out.

Layer the milk and honey mixture on your skin like a mask and let it dry for 10-15 minutes. Use a warm washcloth to remove the mask. A milk and honey mask can be moisturizing, but be sure to follow up with your favorite moisturizer.
