We all have been there – so you are not the only one. Most of us believe over-the-counter products are the best route to take. Wrong.

Fortunately, these products are not the only option we have. There are various natural ways to help clear up our acne. If interested, here are 5 simple and natural ways to get rid of acne fast:
1. Tea Tree Oil:
Tea tree oil is renowned for being good for a lot of things including your skin. It contains anti-bacterial and antifungal properties, which makes it highly beneficial for acne treatment. Studies have shown that tea tree oil is just as effective as benzoyl peroxide. To use tea tree oil, mix it with water, wash your face with warm water and apply the diluted mixture to the affected areas with a cotton ball or Q-tip. Repeat these steps twice a day until it disappears.
Another great way to use tea tree oil is to try a tea tree oil cream. One of the best and known products to use is Keeva’s Tea Tree Oil Acne Treatment.
2. Cucumber
Cucumber works as an anti-inflammatory, which is why people use cucumber slices to battle puffy eyes! They work just as well for pimples and will help to reduce the angry redness of them. Try creating your own cucumber face mask for instant effects.
Chop the cucumber in pieces and toss them into a blender. Add 2 tablespoons of fresh aloe vera gel and ½ teaspoon of freshly squeeze lemon juice. Apply this mixture to your skin and leave it for 10-15 minutes, then rinse it off with warm water.
3. Apply Aloe Vera
Aloe Vera is great for treating wounds and scars, but did you know it’s also a great home remedy to cure acne fast! Apply aloe vera juice or gel directly on area of concern and let it sit for about one hour or when it dries out, and then wash it off with lukewarm water.
4. Use a Face Mask
Easily create your own face mask; this will help minimize daily impurities, bacteria and other infections that may settle on your delicate skin. Some excellent homemade face mask ingredients include: aloe vera, cinnamon, green tea powder, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil and baking soda.
5. Steam Your Face
Head to a steam room or easily create a steam room at your very own home – turn the shower on hot and close the bathroom or boil a hot pot of water and stick your face in the steam. Steam can be helpful for treating acne because it helps to open up your pores, which prevents them from being clogged. Steam also moisturizes and detoxifies your skin.
