Essential oils are very effective at treating acne because they are easily absorbed into the skin, they kill acne causing bacteria, dissolve sebum that causes blockages in the follicle but maintains the integrity of the skin. Essential oils can give you back your self-confidence as well as your beautiful, acne free skin. Essential oils don’t have any side effects if used properly and will heal acne scars and unwanted blemishes. Most essential oils can be mixed with other creams or lotions and can be used for spot treatments. Essential oils are growing in popularity and can be found at any local natural food store, vitamin shop, organic markets or even Whole Foods.
Some of the essential oils that help to reduce, treat and cure acne include rosewood, jojoba, bergamot, clove, lavender and tea tree oil. To use an essential oil you first want to dilute it because direct contact with the skin can cause irritation. Add 15-30 drops of the essential oil you choose into a carrier oil such as grape-seed oil, almond oil, canola oil, mineral oil, or olive oil. Once added to the carrier oil mixed thoroughly and apply to the areas affected by acne. Application should consist of a minimum of 3 times a day until the acne clears up. You may continue to apply the essential oil daily to maintain a radiant and glowing complexion and reduce the risk of reoccurrence. Otherwise reapply as a spot treatment when needed.
