Acne is multi-faceted issue that goes beyond over active sebaceous glands and comprises diet, stress, heredity, and of course hormones. 

​Let's take a look at essential oils that can soothe and support.

A good place to start ...consider this not at all exhaustive list:
Tea Tree
Roman chamomile
Frankincense
Geranium
Lavender
Patchouli
Rosemary
A warm compress nurtures the soul as well as the skin

Fill a sink or pan with warm water (approx. 1 liter). Using a dispersant (i.e. rubbing alcohol, withhazel, apple cider vinegar, epsom salts) before adding the chosen essential oils is optional but a nice idea. The dispersant will help the essential oils to mix with the water. Then place 5-10 drops of essential oil/s and swish around with a cotton cloth. Wring out the cloth and place on the affected area. After the cloth cools repeat several times. ​
