I didn't have much pimple problems during my teenage years (prob. dun know what is stress then). But I started to develop acne problem when I reached my 30s ?!?!
I tried different kinds of skin care products, the latest, the newest, the expensive ones. I tried those from the facial salons as well. They worked for a while, then it was downhill again.
I gave up and decided to live with the problem instead of being obsessed with porcelain skin.
Then, I read about the effectiveness of tea tree oil to kill the bacteria on the skin. I tried some brands. Eventually, I found the doTERRA brand.
From their documentation, I extracted the following :
Acne is a skin condition, generally of the face, commonly found in adolescents and young adults. Acne is characterized by red, irritating blemishes (pimples) on the skin. Most commonly, acne is found on the oil-producing parts of the body such as the face, chest, back, upper arms, and back of neck. Acne is a blockage of a skin pore by dead skin cells, tiny hairs, and oil secreted by the sebaceous glands located near the hair follicles in the face, neck and back. This blockage occurs deep within the skin. Acne is not currently believed to be caused by dirt on the face or by eating certain foods, and research has indicated that over-scrubbing the face may actually make acne worse
The recommendation is to use MELALEUCA essential oil. It is antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, anti-infectious, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and a very strong antiseptic.
I chose doTERRA because its oils are very pure, and effective. I used their skin care kit as well.
Porcelain skin is possible, yeah! :wewink:
