Acne: If you have noticed that you have acne that is worsening then it might be a sign of pregnancy. This usually happens because your hormones are usually on overdrive when you are pregnant leading to this unusual symptom.

Are your mornings ruined by the discovery of an acne breakout? It’s time to include tea tree oil in your beauty regimen to get rid of acne. This essential oil can be an excellent alternative to synthetic chemicals. Here is how it works:

Tea tree oil contains antimicrobial properties that kill the bacteria causing acne.
It also contains antiseptic and antifungal properties that help prevent acne.
The oil can penetrate deep into the skin, unblock the oil glands and disinfect skin pores preventing further outbreak.
It exfoliates the skin and removes the dead skin cells.
The oil can control the skin’s oil production.
It removes dust and grease easily from the skin.

Steps to use:

To a teaspoon of raw organic honey, add a few drops of tea tree oil.
Apply it directly to the affected area and allow it to settle overnight.
Wash it off with warm water in the morning.
Following this routine every day will help to clear out acne.

Tip:
Make sure that you do not pop pimples as doing so can leave a scar.
