3. After cleansing, apply a few drops of this mixture to your face, gently massaging it into your skin.
4. Let the oil absorb overnight for best results.
Why It Works: The antibacterial properties of Nigella Sativa Oil target acne-causing bacteria, while lavender helps calm inflammation and reduce stress, which can trigger breakouts.
