Anise seed is a natural antiseptic and insect deterrent. It is also good for helping slow healing skin heal faster.
This makes anise seed great as an addition to acne face masks, serums and remedies.
Anise is a very strong oil so you only need a drop or two in any acne mask or facial mask recipe.
You can grind up an anise seed in a mortar and pestle and add a pinch or the powder (or add a couple of drops of anise seed oil) to a mask base of:
1 tablespoon virgin coconut oil
1 teaspoon of honey
few drops of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
1 pinch of turmeric (optional)
2 drops of tea tree or lavender oil (optional but very powerful for treating acne)
Mix the base ingredients together and apply to skin leaving on for approximately ten minutes before washing off. You can do this two to three times a week to target acne, condition and moisturize your skin.
All of these ingredients including Star Anise are great for dealing with acne.
