Acne Care – Aromatherapy - Tackling Acne the Natural Way

The simplest advice is to wash the face thoroughly under the shower head with bare hands or a spotlessly clean flannel. Apply Tea Tree directly onto the spots morning and night and add a couple of drops to the bath. For a four week period try encouraging the avoidance of chemical cleansers and soaps on the face, as well as strong chemical styling products on the sections of hair closest to the face.

If the condition is causing the person to become down and depressed try using Geranium Oil (for girls) and Bergamot (for boys) on a lamp ring or left on a tissue near the radiator.

If a moisturiser is still used make sure if contains a high level of Evening Primrose.

Potions have just launched a new range of Tea-Tree products and I’d recommend our new Tea-Tree and Lavender Shower Gel and Facial Wash which are both perfect for problem skin. The antibacterial properties of Lavender have long been recognised, indeed the word Lavender comes from the Roman word 'lavare' which means 'to cleanse'. The refreshing, therapeutic blends also contains Tea-Tree which is renowned for its antiseptic properties and its affinity with the skin.
