Create Your Own Natural Acne Medicine 5 Different Ways.

Acne affects nearly everyone at some point in his or her lives. No one is going to lie to you and say that it’s something you can avoid your entire life.

You can opt for expensive medications and creams but those don’t work all the time because each person is different. Remember, your skin is an organ and with everyone’s skin being different from stress levels to exposure to sun, it’s hard to say that there is only one way to treat acne.

There is however, a natural and clean way to clear up your pimples without having to worry about what chemicals your exposing your skin to.

If you read any of the side effects on acne creams and medications, you’ll definitely want to think twice before you spend lots of money for a cream that may have you breaking out into a rash or something worse than acne.

Here are 6 easy ways to make your own natural acne medication.

1. Tea Tree Oil

Tea tree oil is a renowned anti-fungal and antibacterial remedy that can be found easy in any vitamin aisle. With the anti-fungal and antibacterial properties, tea tre oil fights just as hard as the chemical benzoyl peroxide that is commonly used in acne medication.

In fact, when the two were tested side by side, tea tree oil produced the same results as the harsh chemical. The benzoyl peroxide worked quicker but showed more side effects than the natural tea tree oil.
