When you’re suffering from acne, I’m sure the last thing you want to hear is something that can only be heard of as a judgement on your lifestyle.
And I know that genetics, hormones, etc. have a lot to do with the severity of your acne. My mom suffered horribly from acne when she was young, and was diligent with me when I was a teenager. I had access to Retin A when I was 15 and 16 (and that was a long time ago, and all I had was a little sprinkling of pimples.
Anyway, before you do anything else, or spend a ton of money on special products, make sure you are controlling the things you can control: diet, exercise, and (hopefully) sleep.
Stress is another one, but we can’t always control that one.
If you are interested in ways to control stress, though, I do recommend mindfulness practice.
But when you need something to clear up your acne, what should you turn to? Obviously, I am biased toward essential oils.
I’ve just posted two of my favorite (and newly improved) recipes for facial toners that can help your acne.
One uses witch hazel, the other uses (of all things) lettuce leaves.
Good Luck!
