Essential Oil For Cystic Acne Relief: What You Need To Know

Essential oil for cystic acne relief can be a good tool in your armoury against acne but it is not magic and won't erase your cystic acne while you sleep. You need to look at your lifestyle including your diet and exercise regime as well as how you treat your skin.

Cystic acne is one of the most painful and embarrassing forms of acne. The pimples are usually painful and dig deep into the skin like boils. They traumatize the skin like wounds and leave permanent scarring. This seems an especially cruel thing to happen to a teenager who is trying to fit in and be liked, especially by the opposite sex. Yes, you may be teased, but if you pay attention, you’ll find that almost anyone in high school or college is teased about something. At least you know that, in most cases, cystic acne can diminish and go away. And if somebody doesn’t like just because you have cystic acne, he or she would not have made a good friend, anyway.

Essential oil for cystic acne could at first be just burning your favorite calming oils to give you a sense of well being and a time to be at peace. Acne is often aggravated by worry. Being calm and learning how to handle stress can greatly assist your body’s natural self-defense systems.

Battle Scars

Essential oil for cystic acne is best for treating any open pimples and helping the scar tissue to not be so deep. It can also help diminish the pain. It can help you keep going in the months before any pills or other medication kick in. Actor Edward James Olmos had cystic acne as a kid, and look at him now. Yes, he has scars, but he’s still attractive and successful.

Many essential oils for cystic acne are good at cleaning out wounds gently and slowing bacteria growth. The three most popular and safe are tea tree, lavender and clove oil. The first two smell a lot better than clove oil, but clove oil is an effective pain killer and is also very effective on minor toothaches. Other oils include jasmine, myrrh, sandalwood and ylang ylang. You can dab them on your wounds with a clean cotton ball or swab, use a drop on any bandages if necessary, or even add three or four drops to a compress to press against any particularly painful area. You can even add a few drops to a bowl or boiling water for a deep clean facial. Adding no more than 6 drops of essential oil for cystic acne to your bath can help not only clean you, but relax you as well, and let you know that you have the strength to get through this.
