Acne

What is it?
Acne is what happens when a pore blocks and then inflames. Oil, dead skin and bacteria collect where they should be moving on, and hormones, stress, diet and genetics push it along in a mix that is different for every person. The instinct is to attack it with something harsh, which strips the skin, and the skin answers by making more oil. The better way is to cleanse gently, keep the pores clear, calm the inflammation and feed the skin so it can repair without scarring. The aim is balance. Skin in harmony with itself does not overproduce oil in the first place. In clinic Dr Bo saw cysts settle in about ten days on this routine.

Blend intention

Cleanse, clarify, calm. Palmarosa, a very underrated essential oil, to balance and restore the skin. Geranium to tone and regulate. Lavender Sweet to soothe redness. Rosemary Cineol to clear congestion and refresh. This is the synergy behind the ready-made Clear Skin blend, used in a weekly clay mask, a warm compress, or a single drop straight onto a spot.

Directions

Clay mask, twice a week: mix 1 teaspoon of Clay Powder: White Argyle with Lavender Water to a paste, add 3 to 5 drops of the blend (or Clear Skin), spread over the affected area and rinse with warm water after 15 minutes. Follow with a generous layer of Soothe Skin.

Warm compress: 5 drops on a warm, damp cloth held over the face for a few minutes, twice a week, to steam clean the pores.

Spot care: 1 drop of Palmarosa, Tea Tree or Clear Skin dabbed directly onto the spot. Hands off otherwise; picking and squeezing is what leaves scars.
