1. Spot treat with tea tree oil

Tea tree is known for its ability to fight bacteria and reduce skin inflammation. Several studies have found that applying tea tree oil to the skin can reduce acne. Tea tree oil is very potent, so dilute it before using it on your skin by mixing 1 part tea tree oil and 9 parts water. Dip a cotton swab into the mixture and apply it to the affected areas. Repeat 1-2 a day. We have tested this amongst our team and we have seen results.

2. Exfoliate regularly

Exfoliation removes the top layer of dead skin cells. Exfoliation may improve acne by removing the skin cells that clog pores. It may also make acne treatments more effective by allowing them to penetrate deeper. To exfoliate you can use chemicals or exfoliate mechanically by using a brush or scrub to remove the cells. Our top pick for an acne exfoliator is https://revuele.eu/products/face-care/cleansers/exfoliants/revuele-glycolic-acid/ for gentle chemical exfoliation being a glycolic-acid-based product.

10. If You Must Pop a Pimple, Do It the Right Way

Even though every dermatologist ever will tell you not to pop, we get it: sometimes you just can't resist squeezing it, especially when it's ready to blow. Start with clean hands, use cotton-tipped applicators, and apply antibiotic ointment post-popping.

And some things can make your acne worse:

1. Don’t put toothpaste on your acne

we’ve heard that toothpaste can help dry out a zit, but this isn’t a solution for how to treat acne. In fact, applying toothpaste is more likely to cause irritation and dryness than treat the actual pimple. Instead, for an all-natural spot treatment, read step 1 about tea tree oil.

2. Try to Keep Your Hands Off Your Face

One of the most basic tips for how to get rid of acne is simply to keep your hands to yourself. Your hands aren’t always clean, and dirt under your fingernails and improper squeezing can cause acne to spread or lead to further infection.
