Tea tree oil can be found at health food stores. And while the scent is pungent, try mixing it (or you may find a blend) of tea tree and lavender oil. Tea tree is great for acne prone skin and lavender oil 'calms' the skin down - mixed together it's a nicer scent.
What a nice mother's day gift!! :)Is tea tree or rosemary essential oil better for acne prone skin?
Tea tree is the most effective for an oily or acne-prone skin. It's the most anti-bacterial of all essential oils. Rosemary-peppermint would have a more pleasant scent, and would be better at soothing an irritated skin.
Tea tree is the best choice.
Tea tree essential oil is already known as a powerful antiseptic agent. It effective killing acne bacteria when topically applied. And because of that it is often used as a replacement to benzoyl peroxide in many of the ';natural'; acne treatments.
In a study comparing tea tree oil gel to benzoyl peroxide, tea tree oil had fewer side effects than the benzoyl peroxide, which was associated with itching, burning, stinging, and dryness.
