Kendall whips up her face mask in the kitchen using just egg whites and lemon, which she claims tightens her pores and balances her skin's natural pH levels.

Speaking to Refinery 29, skin-care expert René Rouleau said the concoction is a sure-fire way of preventing breakouts.

"When something with a low pH is applied to the skin — in this case, it's lemon juice — it can dissolve and digest surface dead cells, which prevents oil and bacteria from getting trapped under the pores," she says.

However she did warn that those dry skin should be cautious when using the mix as it can be quite irritating.

"A good rule of thumb, especially with DIY masks, is to perform a patch test for compatibility prior to using on the whole face," she said.

Hollywood star Chloë Grace Moretz also opened up recently about her battle with cystic acne and she claimed growing up in the spotlight was difficult, as she had the added pressure of dealing with very bright lights, cameras and an industry fascinated with extremely high standards of beauty.

"I tried changing my diet and my beauty products before going on Accutane. [Having acne problems] was a long, hard, emotional process," she told Allure.
