Tea Tree Oil Acne Treatment

If you suffer from acne, you know how debilitating it can be. You feel embarrassed and self-conscience about your skin all the time. You don’t want to go out and do the things you once enjoyed because you’re worried people will notice all the spots and bumps on your face. Acne can also leave behind scars and pock marks which are equally embarrassing.

How do I know all this? Because I’ve experienced acne first hand, and know personally the physical and emotional side effects acne can cause. Getting my skin clear changed the way I felt about myself, and the way I looked at life. If you’re suffering from problematic skin, it’s time to find a solution.

Prescription Treatments vs. Natural Remedies

Visiting my dermatologist’s office became a regular occurrence when I had acne. Waiting rooms, co-payments, and medical bills were a norm rather than a rarity. My dermatologist was writing prescription after prescription for topical acne treatments that caused painful skin irritation rather than getting rid of my pimples.

Harsh treatments prescribed by a doctor can result in skin redness, dryness, itching, cracking, and even bleeding. Often times, people think this is a good sign! If it hurts, it must be working. The truth is, when your skin becomes dry it produces more oil to compensate. This excess oil causes clogged pores and even more blemishes.

Using a natural treatment is far less likely to irritate and dry skin. Tea Tree Oil is a common and effective natural acne treatment. Clinical trials have proven that this mother-nature-approved remedy really does work to reduce acne. After three months of using Tea Tree Oil, participants had clearer skin with little to no side effects. Tea Tree Oil gently heals blemishes without the uncomfortable side effects prescription treatments often cause. The analgesic properties in Tea Tree Oil also reduce pain and inflammation.

Bacteria and Blemishes

Many people don’t recognize that acne is mainly caused by bacteria which gets trapped in the skin. This is the reason antibiotics are often prescribed for the treatment of acne, because they kill bacteria. But consistent ingestion of antibiotics can cause your body to build a tolerance which can be dangerous for future medical issues.

Tea Tree Oil kills germs upon application and prevents new bacteria from forming on the skin. Tea Tree Oil contains strong anti-bacterial and immuno-stimulant properties that work to keep the skin bacteria free.

Where Can I Find Tea Tree Oil and How Should I Use It?

There are several acne treatments that use Tea Tree Oil as an ingredient in their product. These can be found on-line, at your local pharmacy, and cosmetic stores. Because Tea Tree Oil is so potent, it’s best to not use it in pure form. Read the ingredient label and look for products that use Tea Tree Oil as an active ingredient. Depending on which product you chose, will also depend on how you use it. Follow application directions carefully, and don’t use more than the suggested amount.
