Acne is a long-term skin disease that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with dead skin cells and oil from the skin. To make skin perfect there are many products in the market which claims that it will fulfill our skin requirements and without knowing our skin type requirements, we started to use that. There are many over the counter medicine and other products in the market which claim the eradication of acne. But we know every prescribed medicine comes with along some side effects like redness, dryness, itchy skin etc. So, if you want to remove the problems from the root, you should go for a permanent solution by giving the natural blessing to your skin. If you are a DIY person then you should give a must try to your skin of DIY acne gel which is made up of essential oils which are the main ingredient that will target our requirements.

Procedure For DIY Acne Gel
- 7 tablespoon aloe vera gel (buy from here)
- 5 drops of lavender essential oil (buy from here)
- 5 drops of tea tree essential oil (buy from here)
- 1 drop of cinnamon essential oil (buy from here)
- an air-tight glass container
- Take a bowl and put fresh or organic aloe vera gel in it. I have taken green coloured aloe vera gel but you can take normal transparent(white) aloe gel.
- Add all essential oils to it and mix well.
- Keep it in an air-tight glass container.
- You can store it for 3-4 weeks.
- Cleanse your face with your facial cleanser.
- Now put your clean face towel in handheld hot water and soak it.
- Wring out the face towel, and place the hot cloth over your face for a couple of minutes. This will open pores to make the gel go into the pores and heals acne from inside.
- Now apply your DIY acne gel.
- If needed, apply moisturizer when the gel has completely penetrated into the skin.
- Apply this DIY acne gel twice or thrice in a day.
2. Additionally, pregnant women, infants, and young children should avoid certain essential oils. so be sure to do your homework beforehand.
3. Keep the DIY acne gel container away from sunlight.
