diy antiblemish elixir
This is another fabulous DIY found in the book, Organic Body Care Recipes. I have been using it for a couple weeks now when a pesky pimple pops up. When applied at night, the blemish reduces in size and redness by the next morning.
I found the ingredients mentioned below at vitacost.com, Whole Foods, and amazon.com.
Ingredients:
- 4 drops tea tree essential oil
- 2 drops clove essential oil
- 2 drops german chamomile essential oil
- 2 drops green myrtle essential oil
- 2 teaspoons apricot kernel base oil
- 1 teaspoon almond base oil
- 1 ounce dark glass bottle with dropper top
Instructions:
- combine all ingredients in the glass bottle
- shake bottle vigorously for 2 minutes
- store the elixir in a dark spot that's between 60 and 80º for 24 hours so that the ingredients can synergize
- put a drop onto the blemish at night and sleep with the treatment on. wash off in the morning
- use within 6 months, no refrigeration necessary
