Homemade Natural Acne Treatment

A free homemade acne treatment recipe
to help clear up acne naturally

This homemade natural acne treatment deeply nourishes and heals oily, acne-prone skin by penetrating and unblocking clogged pores, releasing the built-up bacteria, sebum and white blood cells in pimples.

It also kills acne-causing bacteria, leaving your skin clear and free to heal.

Jojoba and essential oils are easily absorbed without making the skin feel greasy or tacky - or clogging pores. Their natural healing properties help reduce acne scarring over time.

Lavender and chamomile calm redness and irritation, sandalwood heals and tones skin, and rose geranium, jasmine and ylang ylang rebalance the skin's natural production of oil. Bergamot, lemon, tea tree and cedarwood are astringent cleansers.

As a side benefit, these soothing blends sedate your nervous system and relax your muscles, winding you down for a good night's sleep.

Homemade Natural Acne Treatment Recipe

Ingredients

4 tablespoons (60ml) Jojoba oil
OR USE 2 tablespoons (30ml) Jojoba oil plus 2 tablespoons (30ml) Kukui Nut oil
1/2 teaspoon of (2ml) Rosehip oil (optional)
1/2 teaspoon of (2ml) Sea Buckthorn oil (optional)
One of the Essential Oil blends below

Feminine Blend

10 drops Lavender essential oil
5 drops Bergamot essential oil
1 drop Chamomile essential oil
1 drop Rose Geranium essential oil
1 drop Ylang Ylang OR Jasmine essential oil
Masculine Blend

10 drops Lavender essential oil
5 drops Sandalwood essential oil
3 drops Bergamot OR Lemon essential oil
1 drop Tea Tree OR Chamomile essential oil
1 drop Cedarwood essential oil

Directions

Combine the carrier and essential oils in a dark glass or PET plastic bottle. Shake well to combine. Wait 24 hours before using to let the mixture "cure".

To use, pour a little of your homemade natural acne treatment into your hand, then massage it into your face and neck using gentle upward sweeping motions. (Do not get it into your eyes!)

Do this every night. Also make this daily facial cleanser recipe and this purifying facial scrub for oily, acne-prone skin to complete your acne face care routine.

Caution: If you choose to use Bergamot or Lemon essential oil, do not use your homemade natural acne treatment before sun exposure - Citrus oils are photo-toxic and may cause sunburn.

Helpful Hint: Don't make a large batch of this recipe and expect it to last forever. Aromatherapy carrier oils can go stale or rancid after a few months, especially when not stored in a cool, dark location. It's better to make small batches more frequently.

Homemade Natural Acne Treatment for Blackheads & Whiteheads

Use the above acne recipe to soften blackheads before removing them.

Massage a little of the homemade acne treatment oil into your skin. Wet a facecloth with hot water, wring it out and lay it over your face.

When it cools, reheat and re-wring out the cloth and lay it over your face again.

Do this several times, then gently remove the blackheads using a cotton ball. Don't force them or dig in your fingernails - this can make them worse.

After you remove the blackheads, spot treat the area with lavender or tea tree essential oil to make sure any remaining bacteria are killed.

For very stubborn blackheads, use a facial steam treatment, then use the home made acne treatment oil as described above.
