Breakouts, Hormonal Spots & Inflamed Skin?
Let’s Talk Essential Oils That Work
Hormonal acne, painful bumps, and skin congestion (aka comedones) are not just frustrating—they’re a sign your skin is calling for balance. Here’s what I actually recommend as a Clinical Aromatherapist:
Essential Oils That Help Calm, Purify & Restore:
– Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) – calms inflammation and promotes healing
– Tea Tree (Melaleuca alternifolia) – anti-bacterial and great for active breakouts
– Geranium (Pelargonium graveolens) – supports hormonal balance and sebum regulation
– Roman Chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile) – soothes irritated or red skin
– Juniper Berry (Juniperus communis) – detoxifies, unclogs, and supports lymph drainage
Carrier Oils I Trust for Acne-Prone Skin:
– Jojoba Oil – most similar to your skin’s sebum, helps regulate oil naturally
– H**p Seed Oil – rich in linoleic acid, non-comedogenic, and anti-inflammatory
– Black Cumin Seed Oil – powerful for hormonal acne and chronic breakouts
– Watermelon Seed Oil – super light and purifying without clogging pores
How to Use:
Blend 1–2% essential oil into your carrier (that’s around 3–6 drops of essential oil per 10ml). Apply in the evening after cleansing or use as a targeted spot treatment.
