If you ever have breakouts, you're probably familiar with any number of "spot treatment" potions to dab on zits to make them go away faster. In my opinion these all work about the same, and none really make my zits go away as fast as I want them to, but I feel that I need to do something besides just sit and wait it out.So after reading that lavender essential oil is a natural anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial agent I started dabbing it on pimples. And you know what, it really does help them resolve more quickly than doing nothing. Like most pimple treatments it's much more effective on smaller zits than big ones, but it smells heavenly and soothing and makes treating pimples almost...pleasant. Or at least not bad. You float away from the bathroom mirror in a haze of lavender and feel glamorous. I know of no other pimple treatment that can do that.
My favorite essential oils are Young Living. Has anyone else tried this? Does it work for you?

this is probably the only thing i haven't tried yet. so far what's really helped is cutting out sugar (such a grievance. i CRAVE it), eating right, and fresh umbrian clay mask. I will have to check this out. thanks :)
@ anu: Yes, I agree! Cutting out sugar helps my skin a LOT. It IS hard, though. I'll have to try the Fresh mask -- I've heard so many good things about it.
I love lavendar oil. It hels me get the most restful sleep.
