If you can't stand the thought of drinking that much water each day, I don't blame you. I like to drink green tea which is mainly water and a great cleanser itself. I also like to add a couple lids full of lemon juice to my water to give it a little flavor.
2. Tea Tree Oil- There has been a lot of talk lately about the use of tea tree oil as a acne cure and for good reason. Tea tree oil contains an amazing bacteria fighting element called terpinen-4-ol. Tea tree oil is for better for the skin than benzoyl peroxide products. Pure tea tree oil should be diluted with water with a mixture of about 5% tea tree oil and 95% water. Apply the solution directly to the irritated spots on your skin.
3. Coconut Oil- Coconut oil is truly one of natures miracle cures and can be used to treat numerous problems including acne. Coconut oil contains both capric and lauric acids which are very similar to the infection fighting elements found in mothers milk that protects newborn babies.The beauty of coconut oil is that it can be applied directly to the face and body and can also be ingested.
