DIY Natural Acne Roll-On with Essential Oils

Get the benefits of aloe & essential oils for acne

The base: aloe vera for DIY natural acne roll-ons

Aloe vera gel has been widely researched.

We know it has natural benefits for:

• Calming inflammation

• Reducing microbes (including bacteria that can cause acne)

• Helping the skin repair damaged areas

• Anti-aging skincare (it fights free radicals!

And so much more!

That's why I love using aloe for DIY acne recipes. 

This natural acne roll-on uses aloe vera gel and
microbe-clearing, inflammation-calming essential oils.

It's made in a convenient 10 ml roll-on bottle, so you can use it throughout the day to quiet existing breakouts (and prevent future ones).

Wild Carrot Acne Care Roll-On

• 9 ml Aloe vera gel (Aloe barbadensis)

• 1 ml Solubol (dispersant)

• 4 drops Wild carrot essential oil (Daucus carota)

• 2 drops Patchouli essential oil (Pogostemon cablin)

Directions

1. Pour your aloe vera gel and Solubol into the glass roll-on bottle. You may need a small funnel, since the top of the bottle is small.

2. Solubol is a dispersant. Since essential oils are . . . well . . . oils, they won't disperse into the water-based aloe vera gel. Solubol provides the dispersing action we need to keep our blend safe for skin application. If you don't have Solubol, feel free to use 1 ml jojoba oil (Simmondsia chinensis) as a substitute.

3. Add the drops of essential oil.

4. Snap the roller-ball top into the bottle, and shake well.

Use your Wild Carrot Acne Care Roll-On as a spot treatment in the morning, at night, and any time throughout the day. 

This DIY natural acne roll-on is safe to use as often as you like. It can help reduce breakout-causing microbes, calm inflammation, and allow your skin to create a natural, radiant, smooth complexion.

About the essential oils in this natural acne roll-on

I'm not including too many essential oils in this blend. The aloe vera is amazing all by itself.

The oils I did choose are rich in components that support the aloe's actions.

Wild Carrot essential oil 

Daucus carota

Wild Carrot contains geranyl acetate and a-pinene, two components that have shown actions against microbes on the skin and which can also soothe inflammation. 

Wild Carrot oil has a beautiful, earthy, woody scent. 

Patchouli essential oil 

Pogostemon cablin

This earthy, sweet oil is a classic for natural acne recipes! Aromahead's co-founder Andrea Butje used it in one of our most popular acne recipes on YouTube.

It contains a rare component called patchoulol. Numerous studies demonstrate this component contributes to Patchouli oil's inflammation-calming effects.

Like Wild Carrot, Patchouli oil also helps get rid of microbes. 

I hope this DIY natural acne roll-on helps you!
