Acne is a pesky skin disorder to treat. What works well for one patient may do absolutely nothing for another patient. If you've struggled to find a conventional acne treatment that eases your symptoms without causing a lot of side effects, you may want to consider natural acne treatment options instead. Here are three ones to try:

Tea Tree Oil

This popular essential oil has antibacterial properties and has helped many patients ease their acne. You can find numerous tea tree oil-based acne treatment products in most drugstores. Make sure you purchase one with only a few simple ingredients, as those with a lot of chemical additives might contain something that will irritate your skin and make your acne even worse. You can also make your own tea tree oil acne wash by simply adding a drop of tea tree essential oil to a mild, non-medicated face wash of your choice.  When you have a pimple, dabbing a little pure tea tree oil on it should help it heal faster.

Cinnamon and Yogurt Mask

Cinnamon is another natural substance known for its antibacterial properties. However, it can be a bit drying, so combining it with yogurt will make a nice face mask that will help ease acne without making your skin peel. Mix ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon into 2 tablespoons of plain yogurt. (Using Greek yogurt makes the mask thicker, but regular yogurt works okay too if you don't mind the mess.) Spread this mixture over your face, and let it sit for 10 minutes before rinsing it away. You can use this mixture daily, or just every few days when your skin needs a boost.

Lemon Juice and Garlic

If your skin is oily, then this is a great natural acne treatment to try. The lemon juice helps dry out your skin, reducing the appearance of pimples, without causing over-drying. Garlic's antibacterial properties help kill bacteria, enhancing the effects of this treatment. You might smell like an Italian restaurant after using this remedy, but if it works for you, then it's worth it. Smash a few cloves of garlic, and add some fresh lemon juice to the bowl. Stir, and then dab the mixture on effected area. You may want to lie down so that the garlic does not fall off. After 10 – 15 minutes, wash your face with a mild soap.

If your acne won't budge, talk to a dermatologist. They can work with you to explore options you have not tried yet. Be persistent – there is a treatment out there that will work for you. It's just a matter of finding it.
