First, let me share a few important Do's and Don'ts.
- Do cleanse your face twice daily to remove oil, dirt, and debris.
- Do moisturize, moisturize, and moisturize.
- Do drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated.
- Do use sunscreen or a moisturizer with at least a SPF 15 or higher daily, even in the winter.
- Don't touch your face without first washing your hands.
- Don't over exfoliate your skin. Use a gentle exfoliant and no more than twice a week.
- Never go to sleep at night without removing your make-up. It's not a bad idea to take your make up off at the end of the work day as soon as you get home, if possible.
- Never use essential oils undiluted on your skin.
- Do pamper your skin with a professional facial at least once a month.
My Top-3 Picks
1. Chamomile Chamaemelum nobile is an essential oil that I highly recommend blending with a carrier oil such as jojoba, grape seed, or almond oil to help treat acne. It contains properties that are antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-fungal.
2. Tea Tree Melaleuca alternifolia, like chamomile also contains properties that help treat and prevent breakout of acne.
3. Lavender Lavandula angustifolia is known by most people has having a relaxing and sedative quality, but it also contains astringent properties that supports the treatment of acne.
There are no quick fixes to treating acne, but trying any of these 3 oils with an oil like camellia and you will be on your way to healing and protecting your skin from acne.
