It isn't necessary to spend big money on complicated facial masks to soothe pimples, as skin-nourishing ingredients are as close as your kitchen. Tomato is ideal for acne, as the astringent qualities of the tomato will soothe the skin, according to CareFair.com. The vitamin C in apples, tomato and lemon juice promotes healthy skin, banishes excess oil and restores the skin's natural pH balance. Strawberries help heal and tone acne-prone skin, leaving the skin soft and supple. Egg whites are rich in protein, and can help to heal painful outbreaks.
