There are so many creams and lotions in stores that it might just be overwhelming to try and find something simple and good for your skin in times when it might need some extra TLC! Many of us get the occasional break out pimple or blemish and it’s great to have something on hand to help treat it and help heal our skin. I did some research and tried out a few different Young Living essential oils to see what really helped get rid of blemishes as quickly as possible. I found 3 essential oils that really worked to get rid of blemishes fast. They are the main ingredients in my DIY skin blemish treatment that I am calling the Blemish Banish Roller. It is the perfect DIY pimple spot treatment!
DIY Acne Blemish Treatment Tutorial
You are going to love this homemade skin blemish treatment! It is so simple and works so well. I chose Kunzea and Melrose essential oils because they both have antibacterial and antimicrobial properties. They are cleansing to the skin and help clear out pores. The Lavender essential oil is soothing to the skin. These 3 oils work really well together in clearing up skin blemishes and nourishing it as well.
You may substitute tea tree essential oil for Kunzea. Tea tree oil is a popular choice for DIY blemish treatments because of its powerful antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. It’s especially beneficial for acne-prone skin and sensitive skin, as it helps target the bacteria that contribute to breakouts while calming redness and irritation.
Supplies Needed For My Skin Blemish Treatment Recipe:
If you need pure essential oils, I am a distributor.
Liquid coconut oil (fractionated coconut oil) is lightweight, non-comedogenic (won’t clog pores), and quickly absorbed. It hydrates without feeling greasy, making it ideal for acne-prone or sensitive skin.
Instructions On How To Make Pimple Spot Treatment:
Start by grabbing your diy pimple spot treatment supplies and head to your kitchen or bathroom counter. Take you roller bottle and remove roller ball.
Add your essential oils first. Add 3 drops of Kunzea and 2 drops of Melrose into your roller bottle. Follow with 2 drops of Lavender.
Once you have added your Young Living essential oils, top off your roller with organic liquid coconut oil. It is so good for your skin. Some blemish treatments are over drying and make skin worse but this combination is not over drying while still working to clear skin blemishes.
How To Use The Blemish Banish Treatment:
If you have never used these essential oils before, do a small test application on a less visible, less sensitive area of your skin, like your forearm. This is to make sure you have no allergic reaction. See this post for more essential oil safety tips if they are new to you.
Take your Banish Blemish Roller and roll a dab directly on troubled spot and tap gently onto the skin. Can be used up to 3 times daily on active breakouts and I would recommend using that often for best results. Do not use close to sensitive eye area.
This DIY roller can also help with post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), especially when used consistently as part of a gentle skincare routine. Lavender oil supports skin regeneration and soothes inflammation, which can gradually help even out skin tone. Pro Tip: If PIH is a big concern, you might want to use rosehip oil as your carrier, as it’s especially known for helping reduce scars and hyperpigmentation due to its natural vitamin A (retinoid-like) content.
Conclusion
Incorporating a DIY blemish treatment into your skincare routine can be a gentle yet effective way to manage acne-prone and sensitive skin. By using powerful ingredients and essential oils carefully selected for their soothing and clarifying properties, you can help reduce the appearance of blemishes while promoting clearer skin. With consistency and the right approach, your at-home acne treatment can become a valuable part of your journey to healthier, more radiant skin.
Does this sound like something that would be beneficial to have on hand? It is so simple to make and makes a huge difference to clearing away blemishes. I hope it is as helpful of a solution for you as it is for me!
