Do you struggle with acne and unwanted blemishes? Natural skincare can be great for clearing up your skin, and our Herbs&Trees facial serum was designed with this goal in mind. Terre Verdi recognises that different concerns require specific solutions, and so we formulated an organic balancing serum to treat acne and relieve inflammation. Today, we want to share how our natural oils work and why they are a great way to help acne prone skin…
Patchouli leaf oil reduces signs of blemishes:
Studies show that patchouli leaf oil may be able to boost collagen production which minimises the signs of wrinkles and tissue damage. This is great for those with acne prone skin because it can help avoid scarring. Collagen is essential for repairing open areas and tears, so giving this healing process a boost with patchouli is ideal for those who have frequent breakouts. Research also suggests this natural oil has antifungal properties, meaning it helps combat acne on the surface while also reducing their visibility.
Geranium oil removes dead skin to keep things clean:
As an astringent, geranium oil causes the skin to gently contract which assists in the removal of dead skin cells. This shedding helps eliminate buildup which is key to maintaining clear and bright skin. However, the benefits of this natural oil don’t stop there. Geranium is also known to promote the turnover of new cells, and evidence suggests it helps balance sebum which keeps pores from becoming clogged. By keeping things clean, whiteheads and blackheads are less likely to form and bacteria is unable to infect plugged follicles.
White tea oil, Calendula extract and Tea tree leaf oil fight bacteria:
As we mentioned above, bacteria is a leading cause of severe acne. That’s why Terre Verdi formulated our organic Herbs & Trees facial serum with three antibacterial and antiseptic ingredients that are known to combat blemishes.
Tea tree leaf oil treats the symptoms, providing anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce swelling and redness of the affected area. As it’s less irritating than other popular options like benzoyl peroxide while being as effective, it is great for treating acne.
We then added white tea oil as an antioxidant with further anti-inflammatory properties. Reducing the appearance of acne can be a big confidence boost, so we wanted to ensure that skin irritation was minimised to the max. Plus, this natural ingredient is gentle, helps balance sebum, and has a low comedogenic rating making it perfect for acne prone skin.
Finally, we blended calendula extract to offer additional calming benefits to our organic facial serum. There is evidence that calendula speeds up wound healing which is ideal for breakouts, and it contains antifungal, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties which work as a preventative.
Argan, sunflower seed, and jojoba oils add antioxidants and fatty acids:
No facial serum can be complete without replenishing and softening ingredients, and Terre Verdi selected natural oils that work hard to moisturise while simultaneously offering benefits for acne prone skin. Argan and sunflower seed oil are both rich in antioxidants, Vitamin E, and Vitamin A which makes them powerhouses for reducing inflammation and healing damage. Both have soothing effects, and research shows they have similar results to topical steroids. Jojoba oil is great for penetrating the skin meaning it has a high moisturising ability, but it also replicates biological sebum so doesn’t weigh down the skin. Plus, jojoba is a natural exfoliant so it can assist in removing flakes and smoothing rough patches to further clear the skin.
Herbs & Trees is the ultimate facial serum for acne prone skin. Our blend of organic oils and natural extracts are chosen with purpose, and our intent is to banish blemishes and soothe the skin with our balancing treatment. We love how it softens and smooths skin while reducing acne, and the Terre Verdi community is thrilled with it too. Have you tried our organic facial serum yet?
