Today I want to share 5 different acne treatment options with you. Over the years I have tried just about every acne cream, lotion, soap, and medication out there and while some of them worked for a while, nothing really cleared up my acne until I started trying out a few natural treatment options.

1) Watch What You Eat And Drink
I cannot stress enough how important it is to stay well hydrated. This one change alone will improve your skin and your energy levels. Keep track of what you are eating and drinking and see if you can find a correlation between those foods and your acne outbreaks. Your best option is to eliminate them from your diet if you can.

2) Sunshine
Going outside and getting some sun on your face is another simple but effective strategy. Try to get at least 15 minutes of sunshine a day. It will ensure your body can produce plenty of Vitamin D and will help keep your skin healthy.

3) Drinking Green Tea
Green tea has been shown to improve acne. The thinking is that the antioxidants and phytonutrients found in this ancient beverage contribute to the improvement. Try drinking a cup in the morning and one in the afternoon. It is important that you don’t add any sugar, honey or other sweetener to the tea. It will act as a preservative and will destroy some of the important elements.

4) Tea Tree Oil And Aloe Vera
Mix a little of the oil and aloe gel in your hand and massage it on your face as part of your cleaning routine. Tea tree oil has antibacterial properties and the gel made from the aloe plant will reduce swelling and redness.

5) Vinegar And Baking Soda
These two pantry items may just be your strongest allies in the fight against acne. While you are suffering from an acne breakout, use vinegar like a toner a few times a day. It will help clear up the acne fast. Once your face is clear, make a simple paste from baking soda and water and apply it to your face and other areas of your skin where acne occurs. Leave it on for 10 to 15 minutes, and then rinse with plenty of warm water. Apply the paste every 3 or 4 days. The baking soda will help restore the natural ph balance of your skin making it less likely for new outbreaks to occur.
