By using a natural acne treatment you can actually treat your acne problems while reducing the risk of suffering from unwanted side effects.

In a small mixing bowl add one half a cup of baking soda and one half cup of water. Mix the ingredients well. Add more baking soda if you think that the mixture is runny or add more water if it is too thick. Next, grate one half of a cucumber and add to the mixture.
In a separate bowl, mash up two apple slices until they become a paste. Add this paste to the baking soda mixture. Mix well before adding 1 tablespoon of honey.
Place the mixture in the refrigerator for an hour. After this time, take the bowl out and begin rubbing the mixture on your face. Allow the mixture to sit for up to five minutes before you wash it off with water and a washcloth.
Tea Tree Oil for Acne Treatment

Honey Kills off Acne Bacteria
Honey is a very common acne treatment that has been used as an anti-bacterial product for centuries. This occurs because honey has a low water content and acidic pH level. These two factors combined create a poor environment for the proliferation of bacteria.
