- Add 2-3 drops of tea tree oil into your steaming water.
2. Tomato Mask

NB// If you have dry skin, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
3. Lemon/Lime Juice

Start off with freshly washed face. Take a cotton ball and soak it in the lime/ lemon juice then rub to affected areas before bed. Rinse off with cold water in the morning.
