Homemade Aromatherapy Acne Lotion
The full-srength lotion recipe is especially helpful if spots are oozing. Apply twice
daily for 10 days, then, as the condition improves, reduce the quantity of
essential oil by half and continue for a further 10 days. After this time, take a
break from the oils and use a simple lotion such as distilled witch hazel or
diluted cider vinegar (one part vinegar to eight parts water) for two to three
weeks, before resuming with aromatherapy. Occasionally you may need to
return to the full-strength blend for a few days to keep bacteria at bay. If you
cannot obtain myrtle oil, tea tree may be substituted.
