Baking soda is an alkaline ingredient that has been used for treating acne for quite some time now. It is well known for its ability in getting rid of bacteria. It is effective in preventing acne in flaring up in other parts of the body. All you need to do is prepare a paste of baking soda using a pinch of water. Clean the part of the skin with acne with a good cleanser. Then gently apply the paste around the acne spots. Rinse of the paste after sometime. Tea tree oil has also been long in use as an anti bacterial agent. Researches have shown tea tree oil to be as potent as benzoyl peroxide when it comes to destroying bacteria. Tea tree oil is very easy to use. Just pour a few drops of it on a cotton swab and apply on the acne lesion. Avoid using excessive quantities of tea tree oil. Tea tree oil is available at all natural food and health food stores.

Never scrub the affected parts too vigorously while cleaning. That might result in more acne. Select your cleanser carefully. Avoid cleansers that have chemicals that might damage your skin. You will have to be patient with homemade remedies. They take more time but leave the skin healthier and less prone to irritation. Always consult your physician before using any acne curing products, be they be even home made products. Along with treatment you must have low carb diet and drink plenty of water.
