If you can’t imagine eating such a healthy diet all the time, you should at least try a detox period of a few weeks and see if it helps clear up your acne. Drink plenty of water, along with unsweetened fruit juices, lots of salads and greens and other foods containing fiber.

Another option to diluting tea tree oil would be to add a little to your favorite skin care products you already own. You can also find tea tree oil already in products, such as facial washes. Look for these types of items at natural food stores, online, or at your local pharmacy.
