Aromatherapy essential oils for skincare
How to keep your skin healthy and younger looking without resorting to surgery
If you are driven by the desire for healthy, great-looking skin, regardless of age and want to achieve healthy and younger skin naturally without resorting to surgery or a lot of expensive creams essential oils might be just the thing for you according to an article in Natural News on 8th October 2014: “They are just as effective as many commercial products and can give you the results you want without spending a ton of money or trying more invasive procedures like Botox.”
Their list of the five best essential oils for this are:
Frankincense
The anti-inflammatory properties of this essential oil can help reduce signs of redness, swelling, itchiness or irritation in a variety of skin conditions like rashes or eczema and leave your skin smoother and firmer.
Sandalwood
Studied for its ability to protect the skin from the harmful effects of UV rays from the sun and is especially great for ageing skin as it has been shown to help the skin to regenerate and renew itself, making it look younger and clearer.
Lavender
Known for its ability to soothe the skin from the effects of inflammation and allergic reactions and to help it recover from various conditions such as blisters, burns and rashes. It is also a great treatment for chronically dry skin as it has the ability to moisturize deeply and leave the skin soft and smooth.
Myrrh
Particularly good at treating skin that has been chapped or dried by wind or sun exposure, as it can soothe down dryness and irritation and leave the skin soft and supple again. It also has natural antimicrobial properties which allow it to treat bacterial, viral or fungal skin infections.
Rose
one of the most luxurious and effective treatments for rejuvenating aging skin, as it supports the collagen which lends the skin its firmness and elasticity and thus prevents or treats the development of wrinkles.
