Anti Acne Aloe Moisturizer


Tools you'll need:
  • a small bowl
  • a small spoon
  • a weighing scale ( best to use the electronic one, but the mechanical one will do too)
  • a 30g container to keep the finished product in. Preferably with a good lid and opaque.
Ingredients:
  • 30g aloe vera gel - try to get the purest form from the pharmacy i.e. no colouring or fragrances
  • 6 ml witch hazel extract or distillate (from Beauty 360)
  • 5 drops of Tea Tree essential oil (from pharmacy or Beauty 360)
  • 5 - 8 drops of Rose Hip Oil (from pharmacy or Beauty 360)
  • 4 drops of Lime OR Petitgrain essential oil (Beauty 360)
  • 4 drops of Lemon OR Grapefruit OR Bergamot essential oil (Beauty 360)
Steps:
  1. Place your bowl on the weighing scale and measure out 30g of aloe vera gel.
  2. Add in 6ml of  witch hazel extract/ distillate and mix with spoon.
  3. Add in the essential oils, then mix again.
  4. Transfer to your container (make sure its clean) and store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Notes:
  • You can try this recipe with different combinations of essential oils listed above. For example, a lime, tea tree and grapefruit blend OR a petitgrain, tea tree and bergamot blend. 
  • You can also add 1-3 ml more of the witch hazel extract/ distillate if you feel that the pimples are not drying fast enough. Do note that too much witch hazel can have a drying effect on the skin, so you may want to limit it to the pimples only.
