essential oils and acne

[vibrationalhealth]

Has anyone tried to use essential oils to clear their acne?

I have. And it really, REALLY helped!!! lavender, rosemary, and tea tree are some of my favorites and are super soothing for the skin. I'd be happy to share some recipes that I've used to clear up my skin!!

I use lavender oil on any spot I get now. I am clear of acne not (I'm in my 60s) but get the odd spot. I put lavender oil on it and it soon goes. I have tried using other oils on my face with a carrier oil but it seems to cause breakouts. Lavender oil is also fantastic for treating burns and helping with sleep problems.

Essential oils - when used correctly - are meant to heal and soothe the skin. In fact, I would advise anyone consider using essential oils for their skin. But do get professional advice on how to use them: such as mixing oils and quantities of different oils, etc.

Anyhow, essential oils can also be found in regular toiletries. Neils Yard is such a great essential oil product retailer. I'd advise anyone to have a look on the Internet and see what else is about, too.

Tea Tree is well known for being one of the best essential oils for acne and blemish-prone skin.

Tea tree oil IS meant to be a great skin healer. The Body Shop sell tea tree oil skin products: that might be a good place to start. The right skin products will soothe acne prone skin. Because stripping skin worsens acne and makes the skin sore and uncomfortable: even acne prone skin needs gentle products. As for skin peels: DON'T DO IT. You'll end up in a lot of pain. Plus, it sounds terribly cruel to your skin: something out of a horror film. No: avoid skin peels at all costs. And if someone recommends one, walk away and take none of their advice.

Anyhow, soothing skin and using gentle skin treatments is my advice.
