Why this works:

Coconut oil also helps clear up scars and helps to protect open wounds from acne that is present.

Lemon Essential Oil works to balance overactive sebaceous glands, helps clear acne, and encourages the exfoliation of dead skin cells.
Lavender essential oil is very calming and soothes the skin, balances oil production, heals blemishes, and stimulates the circulation of the skin.
