I wrote an article that was recently published that I thought you might enjoy reading. It’s about a simple way to make at-home acne masks that help to soothe, exfoliate and infuse your skin with radiant glowiness. Best part is they’re dirt cheap. I also just recently added two new pages to AcneMag. One is about natural acne masks, and the other is about acne fighting moisturizers, because I believe your moisturizer is one of the most important parts of your acne skin care routine. Here is the article : There are so many great home made and natural remedies for your skin care needs, it’s a wonder you don’t open your fridge and just start slapping food items on your skin. I’m exaggerating a bit of course, but there are some really great acne fighting and moisturizing  properties in a lot of common household items and foods which you can benefit from. Not only that, your wallet won’t be screaming at you for spending a ton of money on that latest dermatologist prescribed or spa-purchased mask. Of course, we all love to indulge in the real thing once in a while instead of getting our hands dirty and whipping up our own beauty concoctions. Sometimes though, it’s nice to know you can treat your skin to therapeutic ingredients without even leaving your home. Let’s talk first about a commonly asked about acne mask that can be made at home. This is the crushed up aspirin acne mask that is discussed so frequently in the acne community. Yes, there is a community believe it or not, acne wasn’t named the #1 skin problem several years in a row by reporting dermatologists for no reason! Here’s how the aspirin acne mask is reported to work. Aspirin is what is considered a beta hydroxy, which is a great skin exfoliating agent. Some of the best acne masks and topical treatments for acne use this same type of basis. If you slough off the dead skin cells, and the outermost dead layers of the skin, then you have less chance of the skin being clogged by this debris. Aspirin also may have some topically anti inflammatory properties that help quell the inflammation and redness that is experienced so commonly on those of us with acne. The granular quality of the aspirin alone when it is ground into a powder also helps with exfoliation. People who have used this type of mask often report a fresh, pink look when they are done, and a noticeable boost in softness. If you are allergic to aspirin, you cannot use the aspiring mask, as it will be absorbed through the skin somewhat, and into the blood stream
