Baking Soda

• Baking soda is an alkaline that significantly improves skin clarity. It is a powerful acne fighter and will kill off the Candida bacteria that causes acne breakouts and is resistant to other treatments. Baking soda can be used on the skin as either a toner or a scrub. To make a toner, fill a clean spray bottle with 1 cup of water and 1 tsp. of baking soda. Spray your face with the baking soda toner after washing. To make a baking soda scrub, combine 1 tbsp. of baking soda with enough water in order to make a soft paste. Gently massage your moistened skin with the baking soda paste for 30 seconds, then rinse with water.
  
  

Tea Tree Oil

• Tea tree oil is incredibly effective at killing acne-causing bacteria and can be used as a replacement for chemical products like benzoyl peroxide creams. Tea tree oil can come in an undiluted oil, as a salve, or infused into toners or lotions. You can purchase tea tree oil products from health food stores or online.
  
  Tea tree oil must be slightly diluted before using it on your skin or it might cause mild redness. Dip a cotton swab in tea tree oil, then dip it in water. Apply it to the skin eruptions as much as three times per day.
  
  

Using Lemon Juice

• Lemon juice is highly acidic and will help remove dead skin cells from the face that could clog up pores. Routinely applying lemon juice to your skin will reduce the frequency and severity of acne breakouts, and will help encourage skin cell turnover, revealing fresh, smooth skin. Fill a clean squirt bottle with undiluted lemon juice, then spray your face after washing. Let your skin dry naturally and repeat as much as twice a day.
