Oils, Soap and Crystals
Acne is a skin condition caused by bacteria. Bacteria feed with the skin oil and multiplies.
People with oily skin have a big chance of developing acne. Teenagers experiencing hormonal fluctuations may develop acne.
The oil that normally lubricates the skin gets trapped in blocked oil ducts and the result is what we know as pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads on the surface of skin.
It is not medically proven but stress may also contribute to acne breakouts.
Aromatherapy using essential oils may improve your skin condition. Essential oils can be applied on the problem area. The oils improve the hormones balance, reduce the stress and regulate skin’s oil production, by balancing the secretions of sebaceous glands.
