THERE ARE MANY CAUSES OF ACNE! IN ADDITION TO TEA TREE OIL, THERE ARE THESE 4 GOOD CHOICES
There are many causes of acne, but the main reason is that it is affected by hormones or excessive oil secretion, which blocks the pores and causes bacteria to multiply, and then becomes inflamed and forms acne. To deal with this annoying problem, in addition to paying attention to daily skin cleansing and care, many people use tea tree oil because it has antiseptic and soothing effects and helps to fight off acne. But it turns out that in addition to tea tree oil, there are other essential oils to choose from. This time, I invited Xiaoxi, the founder of Wenxiangji and the natural perfumer, to recommend and teach you the correct usage.

Xiaoxi, the founder of Wenxiangji and a natural perfumer, recommended the following 3 essential oils, which also have antibacterial properties, and some of them can be added to daily moisturizers, which is very convenient.

She added that tea tree oil and lavender essential oils can only be used on the affected area occasionally as pure essential oils. Remember not to use them all over the face. Generally, essential oils are recommended to be diluted to 1% or less when used on the face.

In addition to essential oils, Xiaoxi also recommends the following hydrosols as wet compresses or masks, depending on the needs of the skin. Sometimes because the skin lacks water, the skin secretes more oil and causes the pores to be blocked. Therefore, it is important to replenish water. Supplementing water will help the skin care products to absorb later, so you must not be lazy. The hydrosol is weakly acidic, which can regain a healthy and weakly acidic state of the skin and reduce the chance of bacterial growth.
- Orange Blossom Hydrosol: Helps balance oil secretion
- German Chamomile Hydrosol: Anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic
- Rose Hydrosol: suitable for all skin types
- Tea Tree Hydrosol: It is milder than tea tree essential oil and can be used comprehensively
