How to get Rid of Acne!!! Check it out!

    I've never heard about this before until just the other day and by golly it works!!  :-D  
Anyone who has ever struggled with acne knows the pain and embarrasment it causes.  I, for one, let it run my life for a loooooong time.  Sometimes when I was having an especially bad breakout I wouldn't leave the house.  I'd hide my face in my room and miss out on the wonderful things in life that were happening all around me, passing me by.  I thought that when people looked at me all they saw was my skin.  I tried EVERYTHING!  I tried eating only organic foods, I put honey on my face twice a day everyday, pro-active, that really harsh lotion you get from the dermatologist (which damaged my skin, but I got it back with frankincense essential oil), finally I tried a low grade antibiotic that worked a little.  I almost went on acutane, but felt that the risks way out weighed the results.  Then I got married and 2 months later was pregnant.  That seemed to fix it pretty good, but I still get little things here and there and I am excited about this method that is new to me.
    The treatment is natural, cheap, and easy.  It's called the oil cleansing method.  You use 1 part castor oil and 2 parts extra virgin olive oil, with a drop of Palmarosa essential oil ($10 on the website www.healthandwellnesseo.weebly.com, it enhances the effects).  Massage this mixture into your face and take a hot washcloth and hold it on your face until it feels cold.  Rinse the residue off of the cloth and gently wipe your face.  Repeat the process one more time.  In the morning your face will feel smooth and creamy.  Note:  your skin will get worse before it gets better, so make sure you don't have any plans for about a week and hang in there!  Most people have results WITHIN the first week so be on the watch out for beautiful, brand new skin coming your way!!!    Also, Palmarosa essential oil is a great spot treatment.  I get those big ones on my neck that just get all red and inflamed before finally go away.  I put just one drop on my finger and rub it into all the spots and by that night -- GONE!   All smiles in my house.  :)  
    Also, today I used lemon essential oil in my shampoo when washing my hair.  YOU'VE GOT TO TRY IT!!  It cuts grease without drying out my scalp!  Found my new favorite hair treatment, WOOT!!!
