When it comes to acne spot treatments, you can go one of two routes: heavy duty or nice and easy. And while we’re big fans of Kate Somerville’s EradiKate as an overnight remedy for emergency-status pimples, we also like to give our skin time to chill. So, to treat unwanted breakouts more naturally, we turn to the antibacterial properties of our Grapefruit Essential Oil.

GENTLE GRAPEFRUIT ACNE SPOT TREATMENT

10 drops Grapefruit Essential Oil

1 dropper Sweet Almond Oil

How to use it

  1. Mix the ingredients together in a bowl.
  2. At night, after cleansing, toning, and moisturizing, dip a cotton swab into the mixture and dab it onto affected areas.
  3. Go to sleep.
  4. Wake up with clearer skin.
