I think that tea tree oil or lavender is fab for calming the skin - what I do is fill a basin with lukewarm water and place a few drops of tea tree essential oil or lavender essential oil * just make sure they are suitable for skin contact - read the label * and then dip a wash cloth into the water let it soak for a few moments then pat the wash cloth on your face - the steam from the water will open up your pores and the essential oils will help to disinfect and calm the skin.

Or if you really need help I think that Bella Boo's spot gel is really good and it's natural so it's not going to irritate your skin.

I much prefer this than using a topical cream that's full of harsh chemicals.
