treatments

There are many treatments for acne, but I'm not going to discuss antibiotics here. If you have very severe acne and/or are very depressed, please discuss this with a sympathetic doctor or dermatologist. Prescribed oral antibiotics also destroy the healthy bacteria that live in your gut. A lack of heathly bacteria in your gut can, ironically, aggravate acne. There are also many related side effects, including thrush (candidiasis). If you do have to take antibiotics, take a probiotic supplement such as Nature's Biotics to help restore the healthy bacteria and eat lots of garlic.

In my experience, it's far better to clean the skin from the inside by eating healthily and drinking plenty of water. However, there are various treatments you can apply to the skin and herbal supplements that help.

aromatherapy for skin problems

Use jojoba or almond oil as your carrier oil (dilute 5 drops essential oil to 10ml carrier oil). Jojoba oil is very similar to the skin's own oils, has cleansing and anti-bacterial properties and promotes good skin texture. Coconut oil/butter is also good, look out for it in health food stores.

  • Geranium oil to balance oily/dry areas
  • Patchouli to improve texture
  • Juniper to detoxify
  • Tea tree to clear infections
  • Lavender to soothe redness
  • Sandalwood to nourish dry areas.
