Natural Acne Treatment Recipe

Recipe:
100 ml Comfrey Gel
15 drops Tea Tree Essential Oil
12 drops Lavender Essential Oil
2 drops Lemon Essential Oil
5 drops Bergamot (free) Essential Oil
2 drops Benzoin Essential Oil

The oils chosen for this blend have been carefully balanced to treat acne. Tea Tree acts as a strong anti-bacterial agent while Lavender helps ease inflammation redness and itching. The citrus oils act as astringents to balance oil production and Benzoin eases irritated skin. Comfrey Gel is chosen as the base for this spot treatment or weekly mask for its healing and regenerative properties, it also stimulates new cell growth so that healthy skin can emerge. Extra benefit: Comfrey is very cooling to the touch!

To use as a daily spot treatment:
This blend should be applied to cleansed and toned face while still moist. Apply a thin layer of this gel over the acne, apply your daily moisturizer to the unaffected areas of your face. It is best to wait 20 minutes if you wish to apply make-up.

To use a Face-Mask:
This recipe makes a great weekly or bi-weekly mask. Apply to cleansed and toned face while still moist, avoid the delicate eye area. Wait 5-10 minutes before rinsing clean with warm water. Follow with toning and an application of your daily or nightly moisturizer or serum.
