Acne Prone Skin – Recipe Two

Ingredients Needed: Jojoba Oil, Calendula Flowers, Manula Essential Oil, and Immortelle Essential Oil
"Consider this oil blend as a leave-on face mask. Mix 1 cup jojoba oil and half a cup of calendula flowers and leave it to blend in the sun for 4-6 weeks, allowing it to infuse in the flowers. After the petals have infused, strain into a dark glass bottle. Add 15 drops of manuka essential oil and 15 drops of immortelle essential oil, shake well and use regularly." – Vasudha Rai
What it does: Jojoba oil mimics the sebum produced in your skin, which is why it works for acne-prone, oily skin types. Calendula is anti-bacterial, manuka oil is a very powerful anti-acne agent and immortelle oil help repair wounds and also reduces breakouts.
