If you hate your acne, there's a face mask that you should be applying to your skin once a week. You don't have to head out to the store to buy one, because Glamour has instructions on how to make one with items in your fridge. Interested? Then listen up:

** Here are the ingredients you're going to need: **
-1/4 cup of papaya.
-5 dark concord grapes.
-1 teaspoon fresh lime juice.
-3 teaspoons of plain Greek yogurt.
-1/4 cup of warmed raw honey.
-1/2 teaspoon turmeric.

Once you have all of your ingredients together, you should warm the honey for a few seconds and then toss it in a blender with the fresh papaya, Greek yogurt, lime juice, grapes and turmeric. Blend it until it's smooth, and then apply a thin layer to your face. Keep it on you for 10 minutes, and then you can remove it with warm water on a wet washcloth. Make sure to move the towel in a circular motion to get rid of all of those pesky dead skin cells.

Get those ingredients together and get to work! What other face masks have you used in the past?

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

Shivani, I haven't done my research over turmeric so I don't have a comment on that but she's completely right about lime juice. It's not good even if you moderate it, there's absolutely no benefits of it.

Are you kidding me!! Lime juice?! That's just as bad as lemon juice. Did you just copy and paste this from Pinterest without thinking. I blame you guys when somebody ends up with chemical burns. I got rid of my acne from lowering stress, using moisturizer, and a BHA/AHA

Taylor you are way too judgemental with these comments. Turmeric is a natural anti-inflammatory and I use it as a mask weekly without feeling dry at all. Lime juice is a natural brightener. Use these with caution, as they are only good in moderation.

Also, patch test the honey on your skin to make sure your skin doesn't have a bad reaction to it, you can eat honey all the time and it can still break you out, just a little tip :)

These ingredients are very dangerous, be ware, they can worsen Rosacea, and we all know that Rosacea usually related to acne. In general they are not sensitive skin friendly at all.

@regina or that your eyes can't actually see the harm. The ph level of citric juices is way to harsh for skin. Sure, you could use it everyone day without risk but I wouldn't want to risk chemical burns, sun sensitivity, and a ruined skin barrier. @Alyx and @rhiannon I've gotten to the point where I'd tired of explaining why these things are bad but I feel bad for these peoples' skin *sigh*

Actually, about the turmeric. I have a tumour scar on my cheek that is healing and a man told me to apply it to fade the scar. I asked my derm and she just cringed and laughed. Take that as you will

I hate to tell you this but with that ingredient list I'm still going to have to go to the store.

Also rhiannon makes a great point, patch test honey on your forearm and rinse after 10 minutes, if no reaction after 12 hours, patch test on your jawline right below the ear, and rinse after 10 minutes, and wait 12 hours. Honey reactions are very unique and people sometimes don't react on their body but do on their face, and these reactions can be dangerous if it's bad enough to swell your lymph nodes and throat, but usually people just break out in hives and sometimes get a rash, but better safe than sorry.

Well, in the meantime we appreciate your comments. It's helpful to have someone point out the errors. Will never put lemon juice on my face again thanks to you!
