Vitamin HB | Acne Miracle Mask!

By Huda Heidi Kattan
Perfect skin is just really hard sometimes! Between changes in weather, hormones, food, stress levels—it seems keeping your skin blemish free can actually be a HUGE project (unless your blessed of course)! I break out quite a bit, especially since I am always trying new products! But as soon as I break out, I start treating my breakouts right away! One of the things I do is actually a really easy nutmeg, honey, milk mask! The nutmeg is AMAZING at fighting the blemish, while the honey helps heal and the milk exfoliates! It really is such a powerful mask! If you use this twice a week for a couple weeks, you WILL notice a HUGE difference! LOVE this mask!
ACNE MIRACLE MASK
Ingredients
2 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoon nutmeg
2 teaspoons milk (Make sure TEASPOONS)
Mix ingredients together in a bowl with a spoon, pushing the mixture into the bowl with the bottom of the spoon. Then apply to skin working outwards. Let sit for 10-15 minutes before rinsing. Follow with your favorite moisturizer!

Where can i find Nutmeg? Also, Whats an alternative to it?
check your local grocer! They should have it darling!
contact me
it should be in the spice section at any grocery store
You are always right on time!!! Thank you Beautiful !!!<3
sorry hun is milk liquid or the powder one ? im assuming liquidy ones but just checking .. lately ive been breaking down like crazy and its making me so insecure till crying point. 7amdella its better than ever now ,,ive got acne marks and some breakout every now and then.. do u recommend something for the scars?
liquid darling!!
Maha, I break out too, and I use to be really bad. Now I’m not to bad unless I’m under stress. My secret…..apple cider vinegar!! Mix half vinegar and half water. Use a cotton ball and rub it all over your face and leave it to dry, LOVE IT
wash it off at any point? or just leave it to dry for vinegar n water mix
i use coconut oil as a face wash its amazin i went from 20 pimples to none in 3 days
Thank you for this recipe!! Will try it today for sure! Muuaah! Xxxx
powder milk ?
Regular milk darling!
Is this okay to use, if you have sensitive skin?
I didn’t think my skin was that sensitive, but I wore the mask for about 5 mins and it started itching. I rinsed it off and now my face is all red and it hurts. I put hydrocortisone on it and it feels a little better, but warm still. Weird.
Are you by chance allergic to nutmeg? Sometimes certain people have allergies to specific spices touching their skin, but can still eat it and be fine.
Not at all, I was fine with it darling!
)
Perfect timing! In need for this <3
I love how simple the ingredients are! I had all of them right here at home! It also smells very nice
I LOVE your Vitamin HB recipes!
Is it necessary to wash your makeup off first?
The ingredients are very simple =) I hope that it works =) kiss ♥
is ground nutmeg alright?
just finished it! i feel *glowing*
will it work for clogged pores ? i have too many tiny bumps on my cheek
I tried this with real nutmeg and decided to grind them myself, it was definetely harder to put on but the effects of this mask wereeee absolutely amazingg! loveddd the softttttt feeling skin!
This is such a great blog post! Very good information! Appreciating the hard work you put into your site and detailed information you present. It’s awesome blog.

Defo going to try this!! Have the same prob as Maha. Been breaking out SO badly and nothing (absolutely NOTHING) has been working for me.
Let’s hope this does the trick:)
Sending love from South Africa! ♥
For scars, cinnamon and honey are good natural lightening agents, so maybe you could use cinnamon instead of nutmeg, or just add it. I use sugar, jojoba oil, honey, and cinnamon on my face as a scrub, and it is amazing. I have oily, acne prone skin, and it keeps my skin soft and supple.
Does soy milk have the same exfoliating properties as dairy milk? I’m lactose intolerant and keep dairy milk away from my house like its Satan.
Usually I break out a lot. I have really oily skin. Do you have any advice for oily skin?
If I don’t have honey in the house can I use agave nectar?
Good Girl! You’re a natural foodie? Honestly it does need honey since it has great antibacterial properties
When you rinse it off do you use soap?
can i use an egg white instead of honey?
I recommend honey if you have severe dry spots, it will work as an antifungal and also help heal
Ahhh this was amazing! my skin feels sooooooo soft!:) I recommend showering after you use it, cuz it gets kinda messsy!
This is awesome (: Thank you for sharing this with us (:
I would totally recommend this mask!! My skin feels so soft and amazing!
Question, I am allergic to milk. Can I use soy or almond? Wasn’t sure if it was necessary
Can anything be used besides nutmeg?
Can I save the remainder of the mask? There’s a lot left and I’d hate to waste it.
What could you subsitue the nutmeg with?
My face is burning. =( is this supposed to happen ?
NO! Oh no darling! If your face, hair or scalp every burn with any mask, then remove it right away! I always recommend using a little on a test area first
How often should you use it? And do you know what it does? Does it help with acne, or just scares?
does this recipe last you for just one application, or for several times?
mine didn’t get as thick as the picture shows…am I doing something wrong?
Okay, I answered my own question: I made 1/2 of the above recipe, applied it once, and have enough left over for probably one more application.
It was nice on my skin (no burning reaction), but haven’t noticed any benefits yet (but have only just washed it off an hour ago).
I just try the mask… I had no reaction, YAY!
Do agree that their is enough for 2 application or share it w/ a friend.
Showeing after is also a good idea, I had some get in my hair. ( no biggy )
End result= Natural looking skin. Soft, smooth, my skin feels nice. I like it.
? How soon could I do the mask again?
Thank you
when you wash it off do you just use warm water?
How often do you do it?
I just tried this and it feels wonderful! Am I able to put the remanding mask in the refrigerator?
I used a mask similar to this,honey,nutmeg,cinnamon and lemon juice (fresh lemon) on my face three days a week for two weeks and my severe acne has completly gone away,i use to have under the skin pimples that hurt to even touch,so glad i used the mask!
I’m so glad to read your review! I have the under the skin ones on my jawline that just sit there forever and HURT! Sitting here wearing the mask, I am super excited to see results after a few applications.
how much of each ingredient did you use for the honey lemon juice mask?
Hey babe! You can definitely adjust it to your liking! If your skin is more on the sensitive side, try using more honey then lemon! Just make sure the consistency is useable!
I recently started using the same type of mask and in just one use my skin feels revived, soft, and less inflamed. I love it, and I recommend it because its so easy to find all of the ingredients!
Just found this My granddaughter has the same pimples as you described, is the honey,nutmeg,lemon juice,all teaspoons full?
how much of each?
What else can you use in place of nutmeg if you are allergic to it?
By the way, I made half the above recipe, and it was good for 3 times… I just put the rest in the fridge so it wouldn’t go off b/c of the milk in it.
I have applied it right now! but what should I do with the remainder? I dont want to waste it! CAN I reuse it?
People are saying yes you can reuse it, Just out it in the fridge because it has milk in it.
What could you use as a substitute for nutmege?
To the people who asked, you do have to use cows milk. It’s the lactic acid in there that benefits your skin. You might see if goats milk has the same qualities if its an allergy issue.
I’m going to try this tomorrow! Super excited. I’ve been breaking out super bad on my cheek :/ so Hopefully this works!
this is really working
I notice that there was left over from the recipe and after I applied what I could can I store the rest ? And if so how should I? In the fridge? On the counter ?
Definitely in the fridge since there is milk involved. Don’t want to have curdled face mask!
I am going to try this one. My question is I tried another simple home remedie the baking soda and water one. I kinda liked it at first, but then days later I started getting bumps on my face. It has now been since beginning of September and they are finally going away. My skin was pretty close to perfect before. Will this bring the remaining black heads to the surface? I believe that is what the other concauction was doing, and I’m not such a fan. Ladies any feedback for the after effects ( days after) is greatly appreciated
Will it work for blackheads? That’s my main acne problem!!
If you have a reaction to this and have burning, wash it off then put just cold milk on your face. This will stop the reaction and cool it down.
What can you substitute for nutmeg? I don’t have any and can’t go to the store
I have this mask in right now, and even if it doesn’t help my acne, I would totally use it again! It is very relaxing and just having it in my face feels wonderful =]
I will admit, I think I put it to close to my eyes as my eyelashes are sticking to my eyebrows so be careful how close you put it to your eyes.
***after washing it off***
My skin feels so good! The biggest thing that I noticed is that the redness on my face was GREATLY reduced to almost nonexistent and my face feels very smooth. Although I don’t see a difference in my acne, I do realize that all acne treatments take time to see results. I think I’m going to use this from now on to help me in my struggle with my acne =]
Thanks for sharing this!
omgg i’ve been breakingg out horrible!!:( Hopefully this works and my face will be clear(:
I have used 3 times now and I noticed a difference the first day. I’ve now stopped using foundation (dont really need it) and my face has healed up a lot. Im in love with this mask, thank you for posting it.
OH YAAAAY!!!!!!!!
) So happy to hear that! 
))) This comment made my night! 
Thank you for this! I am trying it right now
I don’t have any allergies but it does feel a little warm on my skin. It could be from me rubbing it in and the coarseness of it though.
Can you use Lactose free milk?
I did ! It works the same !
just did this and my face feels amazing. i hope this works to get my acne away. thank u
I used this mask last night and my face feel amazing!! Any suggestions on a mask to heal scars? Or will this one do that also?
Haven`t tried it yet, but I read about eggs whites and lemon put it on once a week it helps with scaring and spots!
A lot of you want a substitute for nutmeg but there actually isn’t any. If you do put anything else it will be a different mask.
BTW, I’m using a cinnamon, nutmeg, turmeric, fuller’s earth mask tonight.
my skin is combo dry to oily t-zone. its normally beautiful but in the past year ive been have problems with cystic acne. I tried this mask with nutmeg cinnamon honey and lemon juice and left it on for 11 minutes. i washed it off because my face started feeling warm, and now its hot red and splotchy. i’m using ice to try and cool it down
Sounds like you need to use milk not an acidic lemon juice?
Does it make you break out at all?
i got another pretty bad pimple the next day. not sure if it was caused by the mask or just from stress.
How thick is this supposed to get? Cause I followed the recipe exactly and it’s like soup ..
I will try this!! I have been breaking out really bad sooo I was told to stop using soap which I don`t I use baking soda and water put it on my face then wash off, and then I put olive oil on it leave it for a couple mins and rinse of with a hot towel… my skin has never felt sooo good, my breakouts are getting smaller my face is not dry or as greasy.. I am in love, I am trying this mask and will let you know how it goes!!
I just took the mask off and my face feels so smooth! The mixture was a little soupy but it still worked amazingly. I love the smell of it and my redness has already lessened and I took the mask off like 2 minutes ago!
I am using the product right now. But I feel like it is a lot of ingredients that you have left over. Can you half the ingredients to not be wasteful?
I tried this today and I feel like a million bucks! I have struggled with severe acne my whole life and now i have a bunch of ugly red scars. I changed the recipe to help more with my scaring and it smells amazing and I can already see a reduce in redness after just one mask! My revised recipe is 2TBS cinnamon, 2TBS ground Nutmeg, 4TBS organic honey, 2 TSP Freshly squeezed lemon juice, and 2TSP whole milk. Now, this batch makes A BUNCH! I mixed it in a storage container so after I was done I just put on the lid and popped it in the fridge! This mask will def be a new part of my beauty regiment every morning!! Thank you so much for this recipe!
What type of milk? Can it be any type of milk (low-fat, regular.)?
Honey is the best cure EVER for the face ,burns , soar throat or sooo many things
As ALLAH said in our Holy Quran (Feehe Shefaaon Lel Nas) (IT HAS A CURE FOR PEOPLE) .
Hey! Im 16yrs old and I have been suffering acne since middle school
*tear* Ive been through it all: severe redness, blackheads, HUGE breakouts every once in awhile around my cheeks and nose area. Ive had clean&clear and other acne products. My face has gotten extrememly better because of this product calld Nerium and a papaya soap wash I do every night. I have sensitive skin, and have never tried DIY facial home remedies. Im afraid to do it but after ssin these reviews, I want to try it! Ive also heard of a baking soda scrub many times, does it really help? Can someone let me in in this baking soda facial please! Lol, I need it. Thank you, anyone with answers reply to me!! 
I have the mask on right now and it feels so fresh!! I will post another comment after I wash it off…. And it smells amazing!! I recommend this everyone!! Feels great!! Can’t wait to see the results!
I just washed it off… And my face is less red… No changes in acne but that’s will come soon… I do notice some changes but not major… Yet!!! I only did half of the recipe and it worked fine.
Do I rinse with warm water or cold?
Luke warm water is always best darling:))
Currently trying this right now, but I made a few alterations based on other homemade facial masks I’ve seen. Instead of the two tablespoons of nutmeg I did one and for the other used cinnamon. I also used sour cream instead of milk. The cinnamon and sour cream are supposed to help fade acne scars which is why I used it. So far (about 5 minutes in) I’ve had no burning or irritation. I would, however, recommend wearing an old shirt and applying over a sink!
Great simple remedy …ove it
I just put this mask on my 15 year old’s face.I did the cinn nutmeg honey and lemon. He has really bad acne. I do not have reg cow milk right now. So we will see how it works. At least he smells good right now!
Fixing to ty the face mask listed at top Raw Honey, Nut Meg & Milk . Have been to dr. and tried many thing things will clear up but then back again not as bad but still self con. about it.. They said it was cystic acne . Do you think this will help or do you have anything else in mind we can try ??? Thanks so much glad i found this blog. Would love an email in case i cant find this again.
ok gals we just did this and took off the mask prob. want know if it helps with the ance for a few but my face feels Totally Awesome ~ Smooth & Refreshed !!!! YEA !!! will use again thing of using on my hands because it made my face feel so smooth
Is this a rough mask? Will it help get rid of a pimple that is under the skin or will it irritate it?
Any type of milk?
This mask was absolutely gorgeous!
I kind of flew from the recipe a bit. Used half cinnamon, half nutmeg. Found the finished product a little too sloppy, and added a tad more honey. The end result was lovely though. I know it looks very drippy, but just apply it carefully, and build to create thickness.
After I used it, I put the remaining excess in a small plastic bottle (the travel kind for products), and store it in a cool bathroom draw. It will be used up in under 10 days, so I don’t think it will give it time to spoil.
How often do u use this mask
It really depends on your skin! I like to use it once a week, although I will be honest, I am always experimenting with new face masks! I do come back to this one pretty often!

Hey can I use cinnamon as a replacement for nutmeg? I have everything but the nutmeg but a lot of cinnamon handy
I am 51 and have always been very prone to breakouts so I tried this for the first time today, it didn’t burn in fact it felt cool and refreshing. My skin felt amazing after. I will try it a couple of times a week and see how it works. It would truly be a Miracle Mask if it helps me.
I know Im sure late but I just came across this and decided to try it, IT IS AMAZING. I do facials at visage regularly and my skin has never looked or felt so good after as mask. This is crazy easy and the results are amazing…and that was just after my first try!
This is the first time I have heard of this! Honey is a pretty common ingredient used in natural skin care, but I am new to hearing about this milk, nutmeg, and honey combination. This looks awesome! I struggle with acne and overall blemished skin. Does the nutmeg help improve overall skin tone? How many weeks does it take to see results? Can’t wait to try!
Hi Huda. I am definitely gonna try this mask. I will let you know if I get good results. I hope so!
I have acne prone skin, I struggle with blackheads and if I do moisturize my skin too much it gets super oil, but it I don’t moisturize enough it gets super dry. I am so desperate to find the right products. Your tips have been really helpful. And you are so pretty! I was wondering if you have any reviews on your blog on Neutrogena, Noxzema skin products and Bare Minerals makeup and treatments? I couldn’t find it on my own. If you have any reviews I would appreciate before I go ahead and purchase any product and waste my money 
And last but not least, do you know any other online site where I can buy nail appliqué? I have purchased Incoco ones and I love them but I would like to find different designs. I am not good at all at doing my nail art, so I’d rather get this sticky strips.
Thanks for sharing all your beauty tips! xoxoxo
Tried it for the first time!… I could cry because I am so happy with the results! I left it on there a little over the 15min because I got three new bumps on my face. Thank you!
Awesome new take on a natural acne remedy mask, must go look into the milk’s exfoliating properties!
Im definitely going to try this. I’ve given up a long time ago on my acne cause I’ve tried so much over the years but I need to get back on taking care of my skin. Thank you for the tip
Could I use 2% milk or does it need to be whole milk?
Can I use whole fat yogurt in place of the milk?
You can darling!
Hey there! I just wish to offer you a huge thumbs up for the excellent info
you have got right here on this post. I’ll be coming back to your website for more soon.
Hi. Thank you for this post. I’m going to try it. Does it heal red blotchy skin?
Are you sure of putting 2 TABLEspoons of nutmeg?
Hello, I was wondering if this mask brings acne to the surface?
Thanks very nice blog!
Awesome!!
Never knew nutmeg could be good for treating acne!:) !
I love putting nutmeg in some dishes!! It richens the taste!
Anyway, I will be trying out this for sure and will let you know!!
Thank You!!
Thanks for the advice Huda. I was actually thinking of what face mask i was going to do tonight. I’m deff trying this out. I’ll let you know how it goes. Does this mask help with redness on the skin?
I AM GOING TO TRY THIS. LOL THANKS TO PINTEREST GOTTA LOVE IT :] also is there a way I can get rid of acne scars? Would greatly help. I have tried clinique, that stuff is so expensive and it started clearing my face for two days then it stopped all of a sudden. I don’t know what to use. My face isn’t oily anymore but I still have acne and not alot but my pimples can get big and painful. Dang hormones. /: please help me!! I hope this works!! I never had a problem with it until this year, my tenth grade year! Ugh.
Amazing! I am going to try this out as soon as I get the nutmeg the rest of the ingredients are here.

Love your blog! I’m going to try this!

I was so excited to try this. I was hoping for miracle results like some others mentioned. We moved to very humid Texas from very dry Arizona about 10 months ago and my skin has been mad at me ever since. I have been breaking out like crazy and have been oily but flakey and dry at the same time. I have no idea how to get a handle on the mess that has become of my skin. I just tried this mask. I made half the recipe and there was more than enough so I even used it on my neck and upper chest so I wouldnt have to waste. It tingled a little on the places where I had broken skin from a blemish but was overall refreshing (and sticky;-) I washed it off in the shower and my skin feels nice. I did have some dry flakes on my nose and chin still afterwards and I didn’t notice too much of a difference right off. However, I did notice on my neck and chest that I had small splotches or a mild rash (maybe?) It’s not uncomfortable so I moisturized and will see how it is in the morning. If it’s all clear, I will try it again on just my face in a few days so I can really see if it is going to work for me. Thanks for posting.
Follow up: redness was completely gone the next morning and now, a few days after, I can definitely see a difference in my skin! I was a skeptic but after just the one treatment, I have fewer and smaller blemishes with no noticeable new ones. Amazing. Thanks again for sharing this great mask. I will definitely be using it OFTEN.
