Getting Clear Skin
Breakouts can happen at any age. As frustrating as these can be, there are a host of essential oils and doTERRA products that can help you promote a smooth and glowing complexion!
TIPS FOR BATTLING BREAKOUTS:
- Apply Tea Tree (Melaleuca) to problem areas of the skin. Tea Tree (Melaleuca) is powerfully cleansing and commonly used to help purify the skin, soothe occasional irritations, and beautify the complexion.
- Add a drop each of Geranium and Juniper Berry to your moisturizer. Juniper Berry is purifying and acts a natural skin toner while Geranium reduces the appearance of skin imperfections and helps balance oily skin.
- For a DIY aromatherapy steam facial, add a few drops of Eucalyptus and Frankincense to a bowl of hot water, put a towel over your head, and lean your face over the steaming bowl. Spend several minutes allowing the warm moisture and benefits of the oils to penetrate your pores. Eucalyptus is cleansing and revitalizing to the skin, while Frankincense reduces the appearance of blemishes, soothes imperfections, and rejuvenates the skin. Additionally, you’ll enjoy the aromatic aromatherapy benefits of these two soothing and relaxing oils.
How Can I Reduce Blemishes Naturally?
The real key to maintaining a clear complexion is keeping the skin clean. When pores get plugged because of excess oil production, other matter that normally inhabits the surface of the skin often manages to infiltrate the clogged pore. This irritates the skin surrounding the pore, giving it a red, bumpy appearance. Cleaning up the dirt and impurities that get into the pores is the most important thing you can do to keep that from happening.
HD Clear®
The foundation of keeping your skin and pores clear and clean is always to wash your face every day, morning and evening. But what if you already wash your face morning and night? You might need to add a little something more to your routine. The best tool in your arsenal is the HD Clear® Skin Care line. This line is centered on three powerful essential oils: Tea Tree, Eucalyptus, and Geranium.
Tea Tree and Eucalyptus both have purifying and cleansing benefits. Applied topically they can help cleanse and rejuvenate the skin. Geranium helps promote the appearance of a clear and healthy complexion.
HD Clear is a three-step system that works synergistically to cleanse and purify the skin and deliver optimal hydration for a balanced moisture level.
- Start with the HD Clear Foaming Face Wash
- Apply the HD Clear Topical Blend
- Finish with the HD Clear Facial Lotion
Using HD Clear every day will help reduce breakouts and the appearance of blemishes.
What Essential Oils Are Good for Clear Skin?
In addition to the HD Clear Skin Care line, there are individual essential oils that you can add to your skin care routine to help keep your skin clear. Juniper Berry acts as a natural skin toner and reduces the appearance of skin blemishes. Douglas Fir, Cypress, and Lemongrass are also good options when looking for essential oils to help rejuvenate and purify the skin. Mix a drop of one of these oils, or a combination of your favorites, to your moisturizer and apply daily.
Citrus oils are also powerful cleansers. Wild Orange, Grapefruit, Green Mandarin, and Bergamot are particularly effective for promoting the appearance of clear, healthy-looking skin. Consider applying before bed because it is important to avoid sunlight for at least 12 hours after applying citrus oils topically. Adding citrus oils to your facial routine will help improve the appearance of blemishes.
