Brief Description of the Several Views of the Drawings Figure 1 shows a person having an acne affected skin area; Figure 2 shows a composition according to the present invention; Figure 3 shows steps in a method of preparation of a composition according to the present invention; Figure 4 shows steps in a method of use of a composition according to the present invention; and Figure 5 shows the person of Figure 1 following use of an acne treatment oil composition according to the present invention.
Description of the Best Mode for Carrying out the Invention Figure 1 A person 101 suffering with an area of skin 102 that is affected by acne is shown in Figure 1. Acne is a skin disease common in adolescence, involving inflammation of the sebaceous glands and characterised by pustules on the face, neck and upper trunk. A pustule is a small inflamed elevated area of skin containing pus, and is commonly referred to as a spot or a pimple. * S..
:20 A person having normally visible acne or spots may feel that the S...
skin condition is unattractive and an undesirable feature of their public face or image. This, in turn, may have a negative effect on that person's confidence or self-esteem. Thus, it is possible for the physical incidence of acne or spots to impact upon a person's morale. ** * S
Figure 2 Figure 2 shows a composition 201 of essential oils for use in the treatment of acne. Acne treatment composition 201 of essential oils comprises: Jojoba base oil (Simmoncisia chinesis) Avocado base oil (Persea americana) Sesame seed base oil (Sesamum indicum) Pumpkin seed oil (Cucurbita pepo) Juniper oil Uuniperus communis) Cajuput oil (Melaleuca Ieucoclendron) Lavender oil (Lavandula angustifolia) Grapefruit seed oil (Citrus paraclisi) In an embodiment, the acne treatment composition of essential oils is as follows: Jojoba base oil (Simmondsia chinesis) 60 % Avocado base oil (Persea americana) 1 0 % Sesame seed base oil (Sesamum indicum) 1 0 % Pumpkin seed oil (Cucurbita pepo) 1 0 % Juniper oil Uuniperus communis) 3 % Cajuput oil (Melaleuca leucoclendron) 3 % Lavender oil (Lavanclula angustifolia) 3 % Grapefruit seed oil (Citrus paradis,) 1 % *.S.

* 25 In a preferred embodiment of the acne treatment composition of essential oils, each of the ingredients of the composition is 100 % organic.
Figure 3 Steps in a method of preparation of an acne treatment comprising a composition of essential oils according to the present invention are shown in Figure 3. At step 301, a sterilised container and lid are received.
At step 302, the jojoba base oil (Simniondsia chinesis) component is added into the container. Preferably, the Jojoba base oil (Sinimondsia chinesis) is stirred around in the container, then the lid is used to close the container and the closed container is left undisturbed for approximately 30 minutes (0.5 hours) to allow the jojoba base oil (Simmondsia chinesis) to settle.
At step 303, the avocado base oil (Persea americana) component is added into the container. The contents of the container are stirred around in the container, then the lid is used to close the container and the closed container is left undisturbed for approximately 1 20 minutes (2 hours) to allow the mixture to settle.
At step 304, the sesame seed base oil (Sesamum indicum) component is added into the container. The contents of the container are stirred around in the container, then the lid is used to close the container and the closed container is left undisturbed for approximately 360 minutes (6 hours) to allow the mixture to settle.
At step 305, the pumpkin seed oil (Cucurbita pepo) component is ***.
added into the container. The contents of the container are stirred around in the container, then the lid is used to close the container and the closed container is left undisturbed for approximately 600 minutes (10 hours) to allow the mixture to settle.
At step 305, the juniper oil (Juniperus conimunis), cajuput oil (Melaleuca leucodenciron), lavender oil (Lavandula angustifolia) and grapefruit seed oil (Citrus paradisi) components are added into the container. The contents of the container are stirred around in the container, then the lid is used to close the container and the closed container is left undisturbed for approximately 1440 minutes (24 hours) to allow the mixture to settle.
However, it is to be appreciated that the exact duration between steps, in order to allow settling, may vary.
In an alternative example, at step 305, the juniper oil Uuniperus communis), cajuput oil (Melaleuca leucodendron), lavender oil (Lavandula angustifolia) and grapefruit seed oil (Citrus paraclisi) components are added into the container. The contents of the container are stirred around in the container, then the lid is used to close the container and the closed container is left undisturbed for approximately 480 minutes (8 hours) to allow the mixture to settle.
Figure 4 Figure 4 shows steps in a method of preparation of an acne treatment according to the present invention. At step 401, the acne-affected area of skin, to which the acne treatment composition will subsequently be applied, is prepared. Typically, this step will involve washing the affected area with a non-irritating cleanser, and drying the *. *.
affected area. The acne treatment composition is applied to the acne-affected area of skin. Preferably, the composition is gently massaged into the skin. The acne treatment composition is to be allowed some time to take effect, and therefore a waiting period is initiated at step 403. According to a method of use of an acne treatment composition as described herein, the acne treatment composition is used prior to going to sleep and will therefore typically be applied in the evening and left to work overnight. In addition, the acne treatment oil may be applied onto spots prior to the application of make-up. It is found that the acne treatment composition of essential oils has a surprising beneficial effect upon acne-affected skin.
Figure 5 Figure 5 shows the person 101 of Figure 1 following use of an acne treatment oil composition as described herein. Use of the acne treatment oil composition has resulted in a degree of improvement of the skin condition. * * * ** S ***. * * **.* ****
