Best Acne Treatments

Over 80 years ago the oil from the leaves of the Melaleuca alternifolia was discovered to contain valuable antiseptic and fungicidal properties. An Australian study compared a 5 per cent tea tree oil gel with benzoyl peroxide (a chemical used in some commerical acne preparations) in treating acne. It found that over a 3 month period a tea tree oil gel was an effective alternative to the standard topical acne treatments and produced far less irritation to the skin. Tea Tree Oil remedies are numerous. This post will focus cures for common skin  problems. We will post again with more tea tree oil cures for problems such as hives, shingles, dandruff and many more. You will amazed how many tea tree oil uses there are. These tea tree oil remedies are taken from 101 Ways To Use Tea Tree Oil by Cynthia B. Olson.

Acne – Tea tree oil is one the best acne treatments available. Apply three drops of oil to infected area twice daily. Add oil to  facewash and use moisturizing cream. You can also buy products that contain tea tree oil and are formulated with additional herbs that will control acne.   We really like the Native Remedies product – ClearSkin-A Gel. The main ingredient is tea tree oil but there are also some other helpful acne fighting herbs included in the formulation.
