Anti-acne oil

Knowledge about the healing properties of essential oils has reached us since ancient times.

They were made by processing a large number of oil plants - therefore, the price of essential oil is often high - because in order to get just one drop, you need to use kilograms of the plant.

Essential oils are used in medicine, aromatherapy and cosmetology - since each of them has its own effect on the entire body - both physical and psycho-emotional spheres.

In cosmetics, essential oils are widely used to combat acne and other manifestations of problematic skin - this is possible due to the fact that essential oils have powerful antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects.

But in order for such therapy to bear fruit, the essential oil should be chosen correctly and used, also adhering to certain rules.

How to choose an essential oil?

1. It is worth understanding the difference between aromatic and natural essential oils the former can be synthetic and sold in plastic bottles. Choose only natural ones - they are sold in glass.
2. Also note that Some essential oils do not exist in nature! These are kiwi, melon, watermelon, strawberry, mango and banana, cucumber, lotus, magnolia, apricot, peach, linden, lilac, apple blossom, lily of the valley, coconut, fern. These plants are simply not essential oils - and what is sold in the pharmacy is just a trick of the manufacturers.

Rules for using essential oils

1. Do not add essential oil to cream or other cosmetics - as many do, wanting to enhance the effect of purchased cosmetics with something natural. The fact is that it is impossible to predict what chemical reaction will occur when essential oil is combined with the ingredients of the cream - such experiments can be harmful!
2. Essential oil needed use with base vegetable oil (for example, almond, jojoba, wheat germ or grape seed oil).
3. Nourishing vegetable oils, which are often used to care for dry skin (olive, peach and apricot), should not be used for acne oil mixtures, as they clog pores, which in the case of problem skin further aggravates the situation.
4. Must be dissolved in base oil 5-7 drops of essential oil - not more! It is advisable to store the mixture in the refrigerator and wipe the affected areas several times a day.

The modern cosmetics industry produces a variety of products to combat acne, blackheads and the marks they leave on the skin - post-acne. However, you can cope with these problems using natural remedies. A striking example of this is essential oils, the effectiveness of which has long been beyond doubt.

The benefits of essential oils for problem skin

Essential oils easily penetrate into the deep layers of the skin, providing active effects:

1. antimicrobial
2. anti-inflammatory
3. regenerating.

This is what explains their high efficiency and quick results. In addition to their healing properties, aromatic oils have a mild therapeutic effect on the body as a whole, help cope with stress, calm or invigorate, depending on the properties of the particular ester.

Rules of application

Remember the main rule: aromatic oils should not be applied undiluted to the skin. This can cause redness, swelling and other manifestations of allergies, as well as chemical burns. An exception is the spot application of ether to the affected area using a cotton swab. This option is only allowed if you have good tolerance to the product.

In other cases, use aroma oils diluted: add 1-2 drops of essential oil to 1 tsp. base (or 4-7 drops to 1 tbsp.) and stir. This proportion is universal, but there may be other options for different esters - then this is indicated in the instructions or in the specific mask recipe.

Be sure to do an allergy test before using any new oil. To do this, mix 3 drops of ether with 1 tsp. sunflower or olive oil. Apply the mixture to the inside of your elbow and wait two hours (or better yet, leave it overnight). If the skin at the site of application remains unchanged, you can safely use this aroma oil.

6. citrus fruits (lemon, orange, grapefruit) - eliminate acne and blackheads, and also gently whiten the skin and restore its elasticity (these oils are phototoxic, so they cannot be used for prolonged exposure to the sun).

2. the best packaging is a small dark glass bottle with a dispenser
3. carefully study the contraindications indicated in the instructions (this is especially true for pregnant women: many aromatic oils cannot be used during this period)
4. When using an essential oil for the first time, smell it: if the smell is unpleasant to you, it is better to refrain from using this product.

Which oil to choose as a base oil

Oils that do not clog pores and have a light consistency are suitable as a base:

1. grape seeds - regulates the secretion of sebum (it dries oily skin, moisturizes dry skin), has a bright cleansing and regenerating effect
2. jojoba - this liquid wax perfectly nourishes, moisturizes, rejuvenates the skin and relieves inflammation
3. hazelnut - helps to narrow pores, is perfectly absorbed without leaving a greasy residue
4. macadamia - valued for its rejuvenating and restorative properties, moisturizes the skin and protects it from the negative effects of free radicals
5. black cumin is an effective remedy for acne, helps stop various inflammatory processes and accelerate the regeneration of skin cells (it is better to use diluted: add 3 parts of another base oil to 1 part of cumin oil).

After all, the appearance of acne is a consequence of an imbalance in the body, so the main task is to eliminate this imbalance.

Minimum cosmetics

The vast majority of industrially produced cosmetics (especially decorative ones), in addition to useful components, contain many harmful substances (preservatives, dyes, fragrances).

Please read the ingredients carefully before purchasing.

Reviews

I have known for a long time that tea tree oil is an excellent remedy against skin inflammation (I am now 16 years old, and therefore I have big problems with my skin). A month ago, this miracle bottle appeared in my arsenal. I washed off my makeup and applied oil to the pimples. Twenty minutes later I went to the mirror and gasped! There was almost no redness. Honestly, I couldn’t believe my eyes: how could this be? I looked at myself in the mirror for a long time. After 5 hours, I washed my face and applied the oil to my face again. The next morning, when I woke up and looked in the mirror, there was no limit to my happiness. The face is clean, just WOW (well, not counting the blackheads and freckles which (in my opinion) spoil the whole look). It’s a pity that I didn’t buy this oil earlier and threw away a lot of money on scrubs, tonics, masks, creams, and nothing helped.

I recommend eucalyptus oil! Great product for problem skin! I apply it to a cotton swab and then to the pimples point by point. The result is visible from the first use. Eucalyptus is simply wonderful for problematic, oily and porous skin. The oil soothes inflamed skin and relieves mild itching from pimples. And most importantly, it simply dries out the pimple wonderfully, removes redness, and it goes away just super quickly! The skin does not turn red after use, but you need to treat this, of course, wisely. Apply oil only to problem areas. I also add a couple of drops to clay masks. The result is also excellent: the skin after use is soft, velvety and clean.

I bought myself rosemary oil to remove acne spots. I found a recipe - mixed a tablespoon of blue clay with water and added 3 drops of rosemary to the mask. The spots became noticeably smaller after the 5th mask. The pores have become smaller. Severely old spots began to fade later.

My review of Vivasan rosemary essential oil: I’m just crazy about it! The smell is not as sharp and incomprehensible as that of the Sinam or Aromatica brands. The aroma is more subtle, but concentrated, very invigorating. It gives an immediate effect on the skin: it tightens pores, scars noticeably fade and smooth out in 2 applications. I have never had such an effect before. Works very well when combined with lavender essential oil. They complement each other and seem to balance. The skin is moisturized, soft, matte.
