  Tea tree oil can be applied directly to pimples for an effective and natural acne treatment. It contains natural antibacterial properties which make it an excellent alternative to harsh synthetic chemicals. Just a small amount of oil will penetrate the skin to unblock the sebaceous glands, disinfect pores and dry out whiteheads, blackheads, pimples and other blemishes. Since it is natural, it won't have any side effects and clashes with other medications. Just make sure you don't use tea tree oil too concentrated as it is quite potent. To apply, pour a few drops of tea tree oil onto a cotton bud, cotton pad or tissue. Gently dab the tea tree oil onto any pimples or spots. Leave for a few hours, or overnight. The redness and swelling should decrease. Always apply to clean, dry skin and make sure to use 100% pure tea tree oil, not products containing tea tree oil. If you find that pure, undiluted tea tree oil is a little too harsh or drying on your skin, try using it in a homemade spot treatment. Simply mix a couple of drops of tea tree oil into a few teaspoons of aloe vera gel and/or witch hazel and apply directly onto the pimple you wish to get rid of. As an alternative to aloe vera, try mixing tea tree oil with raw, organic honey. Honey also contains antibacterial properties and promotes skin healing. Storing these spot treatments in small lip-gloss containers for easy application. An all natural recipe: 1/4 cup Witch Hazel 1 Tablespoon Aloe Vera Gel ​10 drops Tea Tree Oil Apply cleanser with a cotton ball. Use 2 -3 times a day as needed. Tea Tree Oil can effectively help reduce acne inflammation. It works slower than benzyl peroxide lotions but it is gentler on the skin.
