The Outstanding Health Benefits Of Eucalyptus

Clears Up Acne

No one likes dealing with acne, even if it's as mild as a blemish or two or as bad as cystic acne. Thankfully, however, there are countless remedies to deal with acne. Many of these are over-the-counter remedies, though some are also medications individuals need a doctor's prescription for. However, neither of these may be necessary thanks to eucalyptus oil and its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. This oil helps kill the bacteria that caused the acne, thus preventing more breakouts, but also dries the area and helps heal the skin already affected.

Deal with mild cases of acne by mixing three parts water to one part eucalyptus oil (e.g., one drop oil to three drops water) and use a cotton ball to apply the oil mixture to the affected areas and leave overnight. If you are dealing with cystic acne, try mixing one drop of eucalyptus oil with three drops of apple cider vinegar instead and applying this solution to the affected area overnight.
