Tea tree oil has so many amazing benefits. It acts like a cleanser which gets rid of dirt, grime, and bacteria. While this oil is for use on all skin types it's a necessity for acne-prone and oily skin. Use it to zap away pimples by adding a few drops on a cotton ball and dabbing it directly to your blemishes. It can be used as a nighttime treatment since it won't destroy your sheets.

Salicylic acid is completely natural as it is derived from wintergreen and essential oils such as tea tree and manuka. Finish off the treatment with soothing extracts such as aloe and chamomile which will keep your face hydrated and soft throughout the winter.

After you wash your face, apply a thin layer to your blemishes one to three times a day. Be aware that drying with this product can happen. Start out with one application and increase to two to three times daily. If redness or peeling occurs, reduce application to once per day.

Use a small amount on your face, morning and night. Rinse your face with warm water and gently pat dry with a towel.

Moisturizer

Lock in moisture by using a daily moisturizer, to which you can add your own essential oils.  It's recommended for oily skin types to moisturize twice a day in order to keep skin cells from attempting to produce their own moisture, which then causes the skin to appear oily. Gently pat this moisturizer all over your face, morning and night.

Charcoal Bar Soap

Charcoal is known for its amazing properties. It can suck out dirt, grime, and other impurities without robbing your skin of its natural moistures. Charcoal Bar Soap is packed with moisturizing ingredients, cleaning properties, and natural agents. Charcoal Bar Soap is perfect for all skin types, including oily, acne-prone, or combination skin.

Use the soap bar as a cleanser, not as a soap. Gently rub it on your face in slow circular motions. Then, rinse your face thoroughly with warm water and follow-up with moisturizer or serum. Use Charcoal Bar Soap all over to get smooth, glowing skin from head to toe. It'll leave you feeling silky smooth.
