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 benzoin calm redness and irritation, sandalwood tones skin,
and rose geranium and ylang ylang rebalance the skin's natural production of oil.
As a side benefit, this sweetly scented blend soothes and sedates your nervous system,
winding you down for a good night's sleep.
Homemade Acne Treatment Oil Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons (60ml) Jojoba oil
- 10 drops Lavender essential oil
- 5 drops Sandalwood OR Bergamot essential oil
- 3 drops Benzoin essential oil
- 1 drop Rose Geranium essential oil
- 1 drop Ylang Ylang essential oil
Directions
Combine the jojoba 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
face care routine.
Caution: If you choose to use Bergamot essential oil, do not use your homemade acne treatment before sun exposure -
Bergamot is photo-toxic and may cause sunburn.
Homemade Natural Acne Treatment for Blackheads & Whiteheads
Use this acne recipe to soften blackheads before removing them.
- Massage a little of the 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 - it might make them worse.
- After you remove the blackheads, spot treat
the area with lavender or tea tree to make sure any remaining bacteria are killed.
For very stubborn blackheads, use a
facial steam treatment, then use the oil as described above.
