Emu Oil For Acne
Who would have thought you could use emu oil for acne ! Not unlike many natural remedies there is nothing new about emu oil: in fact the aborigines have known about it for centuries. They have used it to heal sunburn caused by the Australian sun. Not only is emu oil good for sunburn but it is also a great healer and can help relieve both stiffness and some pains.
Emu oil comes from the emu bird which is native to Australia. The oil has a beautiful texture containing Omega 6 and Omega 3 which leaves the skin feeling wonderfully soft.
This oil helps acne because :
- it has anti inflammatory properties
- it has anti bacterial properties
- it promotes cellular re-generation
- it is deeply penetrating
Emu oil is non allergenic but, as with all new products, do a skin test first.
Emu oil for acne should be applied daily, after cleansing the face. Unlike some acne treatments this oil will not dry your skin; in fact the opposite is true. The oil will penetrate your skin into the deeper layers where it can really get to grips with your acne, helping regenerate cells and encouraging healthy skin.
For an extra beneficial treat, try adding a few drops of lavender to the oil. Lavender is anti inflammatory and will quickly reduce any redness caused by angry spots and blemishes. Or use lavender on its own as a first aid measure for especially nasty, angry, red looking spots and boils.
