My pre-pregnancy nightmare is coming back. It’s not a really full-blown acne, but it’s bad enough to peek from underneath the mineral makeup and it’s inflamed enough to make me reach for the old time-tested acne fighters: the Skinsaver Wash (I was too proud to reach for the Petite Marie Organics products, so I made a cleanser myself in the lab today), and a blend of essential oils in the base of argan and thistle oils which are excellent for oily skin. The blend worked so well, I think of releasing it as an Acne Serum in Petite Marie Organics line.
Here’s the recipe:
INGREDIENTS (in metric)
10 ml argan oil
5 ml thistle oil
5 ml castor seed oil
30 drops tea tree oil
15 drops niaouli oil
10 drops coleus forshkolii oil
10 drops mustard seed oil
5 drops cloves oil
5 drops rosewood oil
5 drops sandalwood oil
5 drops jasmine oil
5 drops of garlic juice squeezed from 5 cloves of garlic
METHOD
Really simple: mix the oils in a shallow bowl with a spout. Press the garlic in the presser really well to extract the juice, then let it drop into the mixture. Stir well and transfer into a bottle with a narrow opening or better yet a bottle with a pippette.
The smell came out to be quite pleasant, with a hint of spicy herbals and very, very woodsy. However, it’s nearly unnoticeable after a few minutes of wearing. I’d recommend applying the mix at bedtime. And no, the garlic in this serum doesn’t make you smell like Vesuvio pizza at all.
