Raw and organic tea tree oil consists of potent antibacterial, antimicrobial, and anti-fungal properties.

This is because of the presence of the compound called terpene that is able to penetrate blemish-prone skin and improve its antimicrobial action. Not only can tea tree oil function as a good spot treatment to dry out pimples overnight, it can also stop new ones from popping up. Suitable for dry acne, we would not recommend oily, acne-prone skin to be treated with tea tree oil.

Here are some safety tips while treating blemishes at home -

1. Always perform a patch test of the treatment you intend to use on your arm, give it 48 hours to assess if you are reacting to any of the remedies mentioned above.
2. Do not overdo these treatments as even though they are safe, overdoing them can lead to issues like redness and irritation.
3. Stop using the remedies if you notice issues like dryness or patchiness as some of the natural ingredients can do that if used too much or too often.
4. Do not mix overnight blemish-control remedies with other potent active ingredients like retinoids or AHAs. This can lead to over-exfoliation of the skin and even cause an allergic reaction on the skin.
5. Consult a dermatologist if you do not see at-home remedies helping with blemish control as the root cause may be more severe, and only an expert can help you deal with that.
