So I have recently tried a new over night method to fight acne. For those times when you have a really big problem area and it wont go away. For example, Cystic acne and reoccurring pimples that last for several days and are very painful red and swollen.
What to do? After washing your face with a mild soap pat your skin dry. Take a band-aid that will cover the whole area or use 2 if you need. Put about 2 to 3 drops of Tea Tree Oil on the pad of the band-aid and put it over the affected area. leave it on all night. This should help the swelling to go down and prevent re-infection. Now that it's getting warmer don't forget to SPF.
This is good but remember that Tea Tree oil also leaves a dark spot, so you will need to apply cocoa and/or shea butter right after to counteract.
ReplyDeletemake sure to dilute the tea tree oil with a carrier oil! not doing so can cause irritation
