Harsh cleansers can further aggravate the skin. Using a strong product that's stripping the skin of its natural oil may encourage sebum production. Try a gentle cleansing milk instead. And stay away from heavy foundations--your skin is meant to breathe freely.
(a) To fight the bacteria that cause acne to thrive, mix five drops each of tea tree oil and lavender oil with 1 teaspoon of hazelnut oil or aloe vera and apply the mixture to the affected area. You can use this treatment regularly, but back off if your skin becomes dry.
Or you can try leaving a few drops of calamine lotion on overnight; it calms down the acne and soothes your skin. When the first tingle of a blemish occurs, ice the area for a few moments, let the skin warm, then apply one drop of thyme linalol twice a day. There are many types of thyme oil--use thyme linalol only.
