Suffering from acne can be a frustrating and emotionally taxing experience. And no one is immune to it, even glamorized celebrities. Check out the image of Katy Perry above and you’ll see what we’re talking about.
The journey to clearing blemishes and achieving a smooth complexion can be a long a frustrating one. Acne and many other types of skin blemishes are often a manifestation of what is happening inside the body. A diet heavy in processed foods can lead to build of toxins and impurities in the body triggering the onset of acne. Or too much body fat may lead to hormone imbalance that can cause overproduction of hormones which trigger blemishes.

Combine with Clear Skin Herbal Detox Drops to promote a healthy complexion.

Natural Acne Recipes
1) Acne Clearing Scrub
Ingredients You Will Need:

- Aloe Vera Juice or Gel – anti inflammatory, skin hydrator
- Tea Tree Oil – anti bacterial, anti fungal, anti irritant
Preparation:
Step 1Â – Pour your desired amount of baking soda into a clean, small container or bottle of choice. The amount you pour depends on whether you want to get multiple uses out of it, or just want a one-time use.
Step 2Â – Add the aloe vera juice to the baking soda, a few drops at a time, until you have created a creamy, liquid-like paste.
Step 3Â – Finally, add about 20-30 drops tea tree oil to the paste. Then mix well. If using a bottle, shake well to mix.

How to use:
Simply wet face, then massage all over skin in circular motions, (concentrating on problem areas) for about 60 seconds. Rinse to remove. Pat dry. Use 2 to 3 times weekly. Can also be used once daily on non-sensitive skin types if desired.
2) Acne Clearing Serum
Ingredients You Will Need:
- Aloe Vera Juice or Gel – anti inflammatory, skin hydrator
- Witch Hazel – an astringent herb that helps heal blemishes and reduce oiliness
- Tea Tree Oil – anti bacterial, anti fungal, anti irritant
Preparation:
Step 1Â – Fill a clean 8 oz. bottle with aloe vera about halfway.
Step 2Â – Fill the remainder of the bottle with the witch hazel, leaving about an inch of room at the top of bottle. This allows for you to thoroughly shake to mix.

How to use:
Apply approximately a dime sized amount completely to affected areas and massage until absorbed. You can also use a cotton ball or pad to apply to skin until absorbed into skin. Use twice daily after cleansing for best results.
Tip:
If you decide you want to make a enough of these natural acne recipes for repeated use, be sure to store in a bottle tightly sealed with a dispensing cap. Also store in the fridge after each use to increase shelf life.
Remember, the tea tree oil in this formula will also help extend the shelf life of these products. Although these are very easy and inexpensive products to make, I do suggest you make enough, so you don’t have to keep making it every time you plan to use it.
Friendly note:
If you’re not sure where to get these few ingredients, not to worry. Every last ingredient here should be available at your local drug store, health food store, grocery store or even online and they’re very inexpensive.
