My 3-ingredient DIY face mask works amazingly for my blackheads – everything you need is already in your kitchen
A BEAUTY enthusiast has revealed the three ingredients she combines to make a home remedy for blackheads.
She said the miraculous DIY face mask transforms her skin overnight.
The woman shared her love of homemade face masks in a post on Reddit’s Skincare Addiction forum, which has almost 4 million members.
BANISH BLACKHEADS
She said there are two methods that she routinely uses to visibly improve the appearance of her skin.
“Raw local honey,” she said, writing under the handle Galaxyofembers.
“My skin finds honey very soothing and moisturizing.
“I have dry skin so whenever I’m feeling a bit dehydrated or flaky I’ll slather this on for 30-60 mins and my skin feels soft and plump again.”
She revealed the ingredient can be combined with other kitchen staples for an overnight face mask.
“Plain Greek yogurt, honey, and turmeric,” she said.
“Yogurt works amazing for my blackheads! Only add a small bit of turmeric.
“I only do this mask at night since it stains slightly but it’s always completely faded by the time I wake up the next morning.
“Sometimes I’ll add a bit of aloe vera gel and/or ground oatmeal as well.”
INCREDIBLE INGREDIENTS
Many people upvoted the post and a commenter recommended using a wet microfiber washcloth to gently remove any stains.
Plain Greek yogurt is $3.72, raw honey is $5.32, and turmeric is $2.12 at Walmart.
According to Healthline, yogurt can be beneficial for moisturizing skin, while honey treats concerns such as dryness, eczema, and psoriasis.
The natural ingredient may also help to defy the signs of aging by restoring the upper layer of the skin.
Turmeric has commonly been used to treat acne and psoriasis due to its anti-inflammatory properties.

The DIY face mask for blackheads comes after UK-based nurse Sian Bassett shared a similar recommendation with The U.S. Sun.

She also recommended minimizing stress to keep skin looking healthy.
