Acne Blend
Ingredients:
1 ounce light cold-pressed vegetable carrier oil (such as apricot kernel).
10 drops lavender essential oil
7 drops tea tree or New Zealand tea tree (Manuka) essential oil
2 drops bergamot essential oil*
1 drops geranium essential oil
or without bergamot:
1 ounce light cold-pressed vegetable carrier oil (such as apricot kernel).
12 drops lavender essential oil
7 drops tea tree or New Zealand tea tree (Manuka) essential oil
1 drops geranium essential oil
Special Precaution: *Avoid exposure to the sun for at least 12 hours after applying this oil since bergamot is a phototoxic oil. There is a special version of bergamot that you can get called "bergaptene free" that eliminates the phototoxic properties of the oil.
Directions: Pour the selected carrier oil into a very clean bottle (amber glass is best) and then add the essential oils and tightly close the bottle. Roll the bottle to gently mix the oils for a minute or two. Apply a small amount to the face, neck or back, but be certain to avoid the eyes, lips, nostrils and inside the ears. Gentle roll the bottle before each use to ensure the essential oils are properly mixed.

It is one of the most beautiful compensations of this life that no man can sincerely try to help another without helping himself.
