Here's a skincare beauty recipe for acne-prone skin that you can easily make at home:

DIY Tea Tree Oil Acne Spot Treatment (just for the occasional break-out) for more advance acne conditions consider IPL, The Pure Peel...and our at Home Acne Line.  

Ingredients:

- 1 teaspoon tea tree oil

- 1 teaspoon witch hazel

- 1 teaspoon aloe vera gel

Instructions:

1. Mix all the ingredients in a small bowl until well combined.

2. Dip a cotton swab or a clean finger into the mixture.

3. Dab the mixture onto any acne spots on your face.

4. Leave the spot treatment on for a few hours or overnight.

5. Rinse your face with cool water in the morning.

Why this spot treatment works:

- Tea tree oil has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce acne-causing bacteria and inflammation in the skin.

- Witch hazel has astringent properties that can help shrink pores and reduce excess oil on the skin.

- Aloe vera gel has soothing and hydrating properties that can help calm irritated skin.

Using this tea tree oil acne spot treatment can help reduce the size and redness of acne spots on your face. Remember to always patch test new skincare products and avoid using too much tea tree oil, as it can cause skin irritation in some people. If you have severe or persistent acne, it's always a good idea to consult a dermatologist or skin care professional for personalized treatment recommendations.

The sun is a wonderful source of vitamin D and can brighten up even the gloomiest of days. However, it's important to remember that the sun's rays can be harmful to our skin if we don't take the proper precautions. In this this months newsletter, we'll discuss the importance of protecting your skin from the sun's harmful rays and some tips for doing so.

Why it's important to protect your skin from the sun's harmful rays:

The sun emits two types of ultraviolet (UV) radiation that can be harmful to our skin: UVA and UVB rays. UVA rays can penetrate deep into the skin and cause premature aging, while UVB rays can cause sunburns and increase the risk of skin cancer. Both types of rays can damage the DNA in our skin cells, leading to mutations that can result in skin cancer.

Here are some tips to help protect your skin from the sun's harmful rays:

1. Wear sunscreen: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 every day, even when it's cloudy outside. Make sure to apply it to all exposed skin, including your face, neck, and ears. Don't forget to reapply every two hours or after swimming or sweating.

2. Wear protective clothing: Wearing protective clothing, such as long-sleeved shirts, pants, and wide-brimmed hats, can help shield your skin from the sun's harmful rays. Look for clothing made from tightly woven fabrics that offer UV protection.

3. Seek shade: When spending time outdoors, seek shade under a tree, umbrella, or other shelter. This can help reduce your overall exposure to the sun's harmful rays.

4. Avoid peak sun hours: Try to avoid spending time outdoors during peak sun hours, which are typically between 10 am and 4 pm. If you do need to be outside during this time, take extra precautions to protect your skin.

5. Use extra caution near water, snow, and sand: These surfaces can reflect the sun's rays and increase your exposure. Make sure to wear sunscreen and protective clothing, even if you're in the shade.

In conclusion, protecting your skin from the sun's harmful rays is essential for maintaining healthy skin and reducing your risk of skin cancer. By following these tips, you can enjoy time outdoors while keeping your skin safe and healthy. Don't forget to wear sunscreen, seek shade, and wear protective clothing, even on cloudy days!
