For best results, apply this mask at least once a week.

Mint Mask: This is one of the most effective facial masks for this skin type. This mask helps in curing acne and pimples. Make a paste of fresh mint leaves and apply this paste on your face before going to bed. Leave this mask on your face overnight and wash it off with water in the morning. This mask can work wonders on your skin and will help you get rid of acne breakouts.

Apple & Hone Mask: Grate one apple and add three tablespoons of honey. Apply this paste on your face and neck and let it dry. Wash it off with lukewarm water after 15-20 minutes.

Make sure you cleanse or wash your face with an oil-free cleanser before applying any face mask. Those with oily skin should use an oil-free moisturizer.
