Healing Acne Naturally With Sandalwood Oil

Nature produces many things, and unfortunately acne is one of them. But nature also produces the cure! Sandalwood oil and other natural botanicals can be used to combat the problems that cause acne, and help heal the symptoms. To see how acne can be healed naturally, let’s take a closer look at some problems that cause acne in the first place.

Sometimes your body produces too much oil. This leads some acne sufferers to purchase harsh chemical acne treatments that cause over-drying of the skin, which results in even more oil production! A better way to treat hyperactive sebaceous glands is with gentle, natural cleansers. Witch Hazel is a natural astringent that works to decrease your skin’s secretion of oil. Salicylic Acid, which is derived from Willow Tree bark, can be used as a mild exfoliant to get rid of the excess sebum before it can clog your pores.


Too much bacteria.


When you skin overproduces oil, it collects more bacteria on it as well. The bacteria and excess oil together clog your pores and in turn create acne. Fortunately there are some wonderful natural botanicals that work as antibacterials. Sandalwood oil has been proven effective at inhibiting pathogenic bacteria, even some strains that are resistant to antibiotics! Lemon Myrtle also works well as an antibacterial, and is especially effective with acne treatment because it is gentle on skin.


Environmental factors.


Every day we are exposed to countless elements that damage our skin. The sun, pollutants, makeup, you name it! This can cause our skin to become inflamed, which aids in creating acne. In order to combat this, we need to make sure our skin is getting all the antioxidants it needs. Antioxidants help skin repair damage, and this reduces the stress our skin is under. Avocado extract contains vitamins A, D and E, all of which aid antioxidants. Kakadu Plum contains vitamin C and is also great for your skin’s health!


Inflammation.


Essentially, acne is a result of excess sebum and bacteria, which creates inflammation and the infamous red blemishes we all want to get rid of! Fighting inflammation is key to healing our skin completely. Sandalwood oil is very effective at fighting inflammation and soothing skin irritations. It’s a natural cleanser and helps calm and restore your skin’s balance.


The key to healing acne naturally is understanding acne, and also understanding the products you use. Our skin is the largest organ on our body, so we need to be careful about what we put on it.
