I have been telling you all about Essential Oils for a while now. No, I probably haven't found the BRAND I will be sticking with, but I will be using oils for the rest of my life. My latest find is Frankincense and Lavender combo. Every one of us at some point in our life has had a pimple, even if it was just one, that drove us nuts. Now, I will admit to having pretty awesome skin, partially because of good genes, and partially because I have ALWAYS taken care of my skin. It's my one routine. But, I get pimples too, and when I do, they leave scars. No one wants scars all over their face, right? So ... more research! Actually, the credit goes to my sister-in-law for this one. Brit found this lovely cure and "pinned," it for me. (Did I also mention I am a Pinterest nut?)
On to the main event, as they say. After Brit pinned something to her board about getting rid of acne with Essential Oils, I had to try it. There are a couple more than Frankincense and Lavender that you could use, but for the purposes of this conversation, that's what we got. I put a drop of each, not diluted, on a pimple that really hurt last night. It was large and under the skin and right by my mouth. Anytime I talked, yawned, breathed, or whatever, it hurt. When I woke up this morning, even after sweating all night because we forgot to turn on air conditioning, my pimply was almost completely gone. GONE. What the heck? I felt my face, even though they tell you not to touch your face, and I felt a tiny bump but it didn't hurt! I would show you a picture, but I didn't take a before, so all you would see is my face close up. Next time, I swear I will get those shots for you all!
About the brand thing, if anyone has any brands of Essential oils the recommend, let me know! These seem to work really well for topical and aroma, but they aren't digestible. Before you go asking how I put Peppermint in my water on Monday, I will tell you I had a trial packet of it from a friend. HER brand is digestible.
Also, last little tidbit for the day. We didn't put Rose Geranium on my puppy yesterday, and I completely regret that decision! He had to visit the Vet this morning for shots, and they found a wood tick IN his ear, completely engorged. It looked like it would pop if it was there for any longer. My poor baby bled for like 10 minutes after that thing got taken out of his ear. ROSE GERANIUM YOUR PETS! (and yourself, obviously.)
