Tea tree is the most effective for an oily or acne-prone skin. It’s the most anti-bacterial of all essential oils. Rosemary-peppermint would have a more pleasant scent, and would be better at soothing an irritated skin.
Tea tree oil can be found at health food stores. And while the scent is pungent, try mixing it (or you may find a blend) of tea tree and lavender oil. Tea tree is great for acne prone skin and lavender oil ‘calms’ the skin down – mixed together it’s a nicer scent.
What a nice mother’s day gift!!
Tea tree is the best choice.
Tea tree essential oil is already known as a powerful antiseptic agent. It effective killing acne bacteria when topically applied. And because of that it is often used as a replacement to benzoyl peroxide in many of the “natural” acne treatments.
In a study comparing tea tree oil gel to benzoyl peroxide, tea tree oil had fewer side effects than the benzoyl peroxide, which was associated with itching, burning, stinging, and dryness.
