Using the Right Cleansing Oil Can Help Tackle Acne Too
Keeping your skin clean to help prevent or clear up acne outbreaks go hand in hand.
We share our tips on how to keep that skin clean and hopefully avoid acne outbreaks
1. Wash your face gently twice a day as part of your morning and evening skin care routine using warm water and a natural product. Avoid scrubbing your skin because this will remove your skin’s protective barrier.
- Wet face with warm water
- Use fingertips to apply cleanser
- Rinse off with warm water
- Pat skin dry with a soft towel
2. Use a gentle product for cleansing your face. Simply Cleansing Oil is a safe natural alternative to over the counter cleansers, made from a blend of pure natural essential oils and cold pressed or expeller pressed precious oils. This fresh smelling gentle formula acts as an emulsifier with the skin's natural sebum and gently unclogs the pores, lifting grime and imbedded impurities without stripping the skin's natural oils.
Application...
Massage a few drops to face and neck, remove with a warm, wet washcloth. Use in the morning and night for perfectly cleansed skin.
Application...
Apply topically, directly to your acne. Only a small amount of the formula is needed per application. The specially formulated ingredients in H-Acne Formula ensure it is extremely effective for all types of acne including acne vulgaris, whiteheads, blackheads and pimples.
4. Apply a moisturizer and use every day to keep your skin hydrated. One problem is that if your skin is excessively dry, it may try to compensate for the dryness by overproducing oil - resulting in breakouts.
Our Simply Face Oil is a one of a kind all-purpose moisturizing oil which leaves no sticky residue. Your skin will drink in the formula as it promotes clear, glowing skin. It is made from a blend of pure natural essential oils and cold pressed or expeller pressed precious oils - nothing else but love!
Application...
Apply a few drops to a clean moist face and neck in the morning and night for perfect skin hydration.
5. Exfoliate your skin. This can help to remove excess dead skin cells. If these cells stay on your skin for too long, they can clog your pores and lead to acne breakouts. Having a buildup of dead cells on your face may also make your skin look dull, flaky, or prematurely aged. To make a natural skin exfoliant at home, you will typically need:
- A scrub ingredient. Scrubs are at the core of exfoliation, speeding up the shedding of old skin layers. Oatmeal, sugar, sea salt, and finely ground coffee beans all make for effective scrubs.
- A smooth base such as honey, milk, yogurt, or olive oil.
- Nourishing/moisturizing/hydrating ingredients such as pineapple, papaya, or pumpkin.

Application...
Limit the use of an exfoliant to once a week at the most and test before use on a small patch of skin on your arm. Apply gently using small circular motions on your skin so that your skin does not get irritated or break out for only a couple of minutes. In addition, use upward strokes, moving from neck and chin to the forehead. Never scrub too much and don't use hot water on your face - just warm. Don't use exfoliant in the very sensitive undereye area and also don't use if your skin is cut, wounded or affected by sunburn. Nourish and moisturize well after exfoliation.
There are some additional important points to remember:
- Never pick at a blemish
- Don’t try to pop a cyst
- Never sleep in your makeup
- Make sure you get enough sleep
- Keep your makeup brushes clean
