Re: acne cream

You can be as self-asservative as you like, I said, just so long as you do what you're told.' Esme Weatherwax.

Re: acne cream
I just use salt water on spots, I find cream seems to make them worse while salt water dries them out quicker.

Re: acne cream
Hello, here is a recipe from one of my books but I haven't made it so don't know if it works
10 rose geranium flowers with leaves & stems
8 marigold flowers
20 lavender flowerheads
200ml water
1 sachet vegetable gelatine
5 tsp vodka
20 drops tea tree oil
Roughly chop rose geranium and place in glass bowl with marigold & lavender.
Boil the water and pour over flowers. Infuse for 10 mins hten whizz in blender.
Strain through muslin. Dissolve gelatine in 2 tblspn cold water and gradually add the flower infusion, stirring. Add vodka & tea tree oil, stirring til a gel is formed.
Keeps for up to 6 weeks in fridge.

Re: acne cream
I have the last few drops of H0ll@nd and B@rrett's tea tree oil cream which is fantastic for acne. Sadly they've discontinued it but I'd definitely recommend something with tea tree oil in it.
