Essential Oils, Natural Skincare Wonders

Have you ever thought of using nothing but natural remedies for your skin? Well, we did and it turns out that Mother Nature offers so many wonders that leave us no choice but to be thankful. Essential oils are one of its greatest offerings, se we’ve decided to tell you about some really useful ones.

Those who think that essential oils are mostly used by perfumers have never read the ingredients featured in the formula of a skincare product. In fact, every essential oil has its own benefits and here’s what our research led to!

Lavender essential oil works like magic when it comes to healing skin irritations, no matter the skin type. Also ideal for all skin types is geranium oil, which balances oil production so it wouldn’t hurt to add it to your usual moisturizer.

Other skin problems can be treated using essential oils as well. While frankincense essential oil fights aging signs and helps skin cell regeneration and pigmentation, ylang ylang is great for treating oily and acne prone skin. Speaking of acne, it can be as difficult to treat as large pores, so lemongrass essential oil can be used for both as a toner and believe us, the results won’t let you down!

Tea tree essential oil has a world of its own. Its countless benefits include antifungal and antibacterial properties – which make it ideal for acneic and oily skin, besides its ability to treating minor cuts and scrapes.

Want an essential oil that cleanses your skin? Dilute a little bit of juniper oil in water and let it work its magic. 

The list goes on and on; from clary sage essential oil that fights aging signs while reducing puffiness, to neroli oil that treats devitalized, mature and sensitive skin types and when mixed with avocado oil, it can fight stretch marks. So, whenever you run out of your favorite skincare product, always know that nature’s got your back!
