OK, so you're bored in the house (and you're in the house bored). What better way to waste time and get creative than DIYing everything in sight? For beauty people, that may include colouring your hair, mixing up a three-ingredient waxing formula, or finding innovative ways to treat your acne. Thanks to TikTok, the latter option is looking pretty promising.

Judging by how large the beauty community is on other social media platforms like YouTube and Instagram, it should come as no surprise that TikTok is brimming with makeup, skin care, and hair hacks. Lately, we've noticed several DIY acne treatments popping up in particular — many of which call for common pantry or medicine cabinet ingredients to create. From tea bags and turmeric to spot treatments and toners, keep scrolling to see 10 of our favourites. Trust us, you won't even have to leave home to try them.

Cystic acne is never fun to deal with, but don't even think about trying to pop it. Instead, open up your pantry and try this DIY tea bag hack. Once refrigerated, it'll act as a cold compress and help reduce redness.

Spot treatments and masks aren't the only formulas you can whip up at home. Enter this DIY green tea toner. All you need is water, green tea bags, and a cotton ball or round.

Looking to dry up acne spots fast? This three-ingredient treatment has you covered. All you have to do is add calamine lotion, witch hazel, and tea tree oil to a small container and apply to your face with a Q-tip.

Turmeric strikes again in this acne-scar-clearing face mask. In this recipe, however, it's blended with chickpea flower and honey for a slightly different texture and extra benefits. Rubbing the mask off (versus rinsing) will gently exfoliate your skin.
