Acne

There are two types of Acne in Children Newborn and Adolescent.

Newborn Acne
Some babies are born with a facial rash that appears rather red and angry, with small red pimples covering their cheeks and nose. The rash occurs because certain hormones get passed from the mother while the baby is in the womb. It will disappear on its own within time, however, aromatherapy can help the process of along. If possible gat a diagnosis from the pediatrician before leaving the maternity unit.

There are three methods you can use, but in all cases wash baby's face by using a tiny pinch of very mild, pure soap, and rinse very thoroughly. To carry out the following methods by preparing hydrolats and teas please refer to teas, dab the area using a pure cotton wool ball. 

Method One
This is the most effective method. Use lavender and Chamomile hydrolat.

Method Two
Using the essential oils water method: 1 drop each of lavender and Chamomile roman essential oils, in half a pint of water.

Method Three
Put 1 drop of Lavender essential oil on an unused camomile tea bag, let it soak in, then allow to dry. When needed, put the tea bag in a cup, cover with boiling water, and put a saucer on top so no steam escapes. Allow to cool.
