Herbal essential oils are best treatment for dreaded acne
When acne forms, cells become sticky due to abnormal reactions inside the oil canals in the skin. When these cells die, the skin cannot shed them due to their stickiness and they block the canal. Sebum (oil produced by glands) becomes trapped as it cannot be expelled from the canal and, as a result, white or black-topped oil accumulation appears. Bacteria in the skin reproduce easily inside sebum and the result is the familiar redness and bumps of acne.
Preventing acne
Choose an oil-free soap but be sure that it does not dry your skin out. If you need a moisturizer, select a light, oil-free moisturizer. Avoid extremely moist places and excessive sweating. Substances with iodine, such as iodized salt, increase acne, so stay away from them. If you have oily hair, pull it back away from your face, and keep your hands away from your face. Many people who follow these rules often note that that their skin problems have eased.
Herbal essential oil treatment
Essential oils such as juniper and cedar wood oil regulate sebum production. Attar and lavender are also known to have antiseptic and remedial properties. For a remedy, add two drops of juniper and cedar wood oil to half a glass of water. Apply this mixture to your face with cotton balls once every two hours throughout the day. For a moisturizer, try adding two drops of juniper and citron oil to five teaspoons of jojoba oil, and then mix this with five teaspoons of fragrance-free skin-care lotion. Apply this mixture in the morning and at night. Another handy remedy can be made by combining one tablespoon of jojoba or sweet almond oil with two drops of juniper extract. Apply this directly onto acne.
Calendula is also a very effective treatment for skin problems such as acne. Another effective skin treatment can be made by heating two or three teaspoons of dried sweet basil in a glass of water. Apply with a cotton ball to clean your skin.
A steam bath can also help clarify your skin. Simply bow your head over a bowl of boiling water and cover yourself with a towel to increase the effectiveness of the vapor. Follow this, pat your face dry and then apply rose water, elderberry water, pure witch hazel or calendula tea.

You may eat the berries fresh when they are in season or drink their sugar-free juice.

The best time to collect the berries is when they turn into red, pink and dark purple. If you dry the berries, you can use them throughout the winter.
How to brew blackberry tea: Collect blackberry leaves before flowering season and leave them to dry for two or three days. Shred the dried leaves. To make blackberry tea, add two handfuls of these leaves to one liter of water and boil for 15 minutes. You may also brew this tea after adding some linden, cinnamon, thyme and sage leaf. It is up to you. This tea is a great drink both in winter and summer.
