1. NEVER apply undiluted essential oils of any kind directly to your skin. 

2. BEWARE the advice of anyone claiming to be a ND (naturopathic doctor) who is not listed on www.naturopathic.org, the American Association of Naturopathic Doctors.

3. Pimples, redness and irritation can be due to hormonal imbalances, ezcema, environmental sensitivites, food allergies or a type of auto-immune disease. While not serious, your external symptoms may be the sign of a deeper problem. Since I don't know your age and sex, it is hard to say. If you are not a teenager, it may be worth visiting a licensed naturopathic doctor who can help you to address the root cause of the problem.

 

Good Luck and Be Well,

1.- Use Lavender oil to apply directly on the acne area. 

2.- Severe acne remedies. Put Tea tree oil on the acne affected skin.  This is a natural antibiotic. It will destroy a broad range of invading microorganisms, as effectively as benzol peroxide, but without side effects. It reduces redness, itchiness and stinging. 

 For irritation and redness:

Skin wash.

Mix the following ingredients: 
1 tsp. comfrey root. 
1 tsp. white oak bark. 
1 tsp. slippery elm bark. 
2 cups of water. 
Boil for 35 minutes use it to wash the affected area.
