DIY Spot Treatment for Acne
Acne is a painful and embarrassing skin condition that any age group can suffer with, I personally had Acne from a very young age and found using this blend really helped to dry up the spots and reduce the pain from the very large spots. Using natural ingredients with a carrier oil known for its antibacterial properties and Aloe gel to help sooth the skin this is a must have spot treatment for all medicine cabinets.
On The Spot Cream
Preparation time 10 minutes
Fills 1 100 ml plastic containers
Equipment
Ingredients
- Aloe Vera gel
- Coconut oil
- Tea Tree Oil
- Geranium Oil
- Lemongrass Oil
Method
- Add two tablespoons of coconut oil to a glass measuring jug and gently melt in the microwave. It is important to check the oil every 20 seconds or so as you do not want to heat the oil too much as you will burn away some of the natural healing properties of the oil.
- Once melted add 15 drops of tea tree oil, 10 drops of geranium and 10 drops of lemongrass, slowly mix together.
- Add 2 tablespoons of aloe gel and mix together until combined.
- Separate the mix between the 3 containers and allow to cool fully before using.
This mix is fairly potent so use sparingly, ideally this can be added to the T-zones and as an on the spot overnight treatment.
