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.

- Aloe Vera Juice or Gel – anti inflammatory, skin hydrator
- Tea Tree Oil – anti bacterial, anti fungal, anti irritant

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.

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.
