There are several oils that specifically address acne concerns. Geranium, rosemary, lavender and cedarwood are great for regulating and balancing oily skin. Bergamot and lemon are good for antibacterial cleansing and spot treatments. Peppermint, tea tree oil and calendula have great antiseptic and healing properties. Acne-prone or oily skin can also benefit from lightweight oils such as jojoba, almond, borage or evening primrose. [url=http://www.rockymountainoils.com]Essential Oils[/url]

Hello Friends...... 1.Add a few drops of tea tree oil to an unscented cleanser and moisturizer to fight acne. Use 100% pure tea tree oil from a reputed company for best results. An essential oil from Australia, tea tree oil is known for its wide ranging antimicrobial and anti fungal properties. 2.Add a few drops of juniper essential oil to witch hazel or distilled water to make an acne fighting toner. Known to be highly astringent and antiseptic, juniper essential oil helps fight acne, and calms down the associated redness and inflammation. 3.Make a facial treatment with a blend of geranium, lavender, tea tree, and cedarwood essential oils in a base oil like grapeseed, jojoba or apricot kernel oil. Use 10 drops of lavender and tea tree essential oils, 5 drops of geranium and cedarwood essential oils, and blend with one fourth ounce of a carrier oil like jojoba oil. Store in a glass bottle, and use a drop or two of this blend on acne prone areas. Thanks
