Once the mixture becomes frothy, use a facial brush to apply the mask to face and neck in upward strokes. Leave on for 15 minutes, then rinse thoroughly and follow up with moisturizer.

Natural Face Cleanser for Breakouts

Putting oil on your face when you have acne may seem counterintuitive. But hear us out. Oils with a high percentage of linoleic acid, an omega-6 essential fatty acid, can help, says Dr. Hellman. Linoleic acid is naturally present in your skin, but when you have acne, your skin has less of it than it needs. Among the oils that contain high amounts: hemp, safflower, rosehip, and grapeseed.

Try: Place a quarter-sized amount of oil in your hand, and rub your hands together to warm the oil, suggests Donica Johns of nmbotanical. Apply gently all over your face. Massage firmly but gently, always moving upward, for two minutes, then let the oil sit on your face for 30 seconds. Place a washcloth soaked with warm water on your face. Leave on for about a minute.
