7 Essential Oils That Can Transform Your Skin
I have been a skincare fanatic for
some time now, but my version of skincare involved using fancy, expensive
products for a long time. Though I am not really letting that habit go I have
found that making your own skincare products is actually a lot more beneficial
than manufactured products. A couple of days into discovering DIY recipes, I
came across essential oils. Tried out a few and I am sold! Read ahead for the
cream of my personal essential oil stash:
Tea
Tree Oil
So I heard about tea tree oil long
before I was into skincare and I am sure you have too. This oil is like a magic
potion for acne! If you cannot get rid of your acne, just give this oil a try
and you will see some guaranteed results. It is also an anti-bacterial and
anti-fungal agent and therefore is great for skin infections and conditions
like eczema and rosacea.
Olive
Oil
Olive oil is a great moisturizing
agent. But it is known to be comedogenic (blocks pores) so people with oily and
acne-prone skin should keep away from it. But people with dry skin conditions
like eczema and psoriasis and generally scratchy skin should certainly make use
of it.
Grapeseed
Oil
Use this oil to get rid of that oily
shine on your T-zone. Grapeseed oil is known mainly for providing a mattifying
effect on oily skin because of its astringent qualities. Add it to your DIY
moisturizer recipe for a great
non-greasy moisturizer. Grapeseed
oil is also full of antioxidants and Vitamin C. These help in making your skin
look younger and brighter.
Argan
Oil
Argan oil is mostly used for the
wonders it works on your hair but I have recently realized that it is just as
amazing for your skin. It is mostly known for its anti-aging properties since
it is full of anti-oxidants and Vitamin E. Signs of aging can start appearing
as early as the age of 25 so it’s never
too early to look younger!
Rosehip
Oil
Rosehip oil is known for its
wonderful healing properties. Adding this to your DIY face mask will increase
the flow of blood to your skin and make it look really healthy. It also
contains Vitamin A or retinol, which maintains the collagen in your skin,
making it softer and more elastic.
Chamomile
Oil
Chamomile oil is a Godsend for
people with sensitive skin. Use it for an anti-aging effect, as a remedy for
conditions like eczema and to achieve smooth, de-stressed skin. Chamomile oil
is really good for getting rid of unwanted redness on the skin as well.
Lemongrass
Oil
This oil is another great natural
remedy formattifying oily skin.
Lemongrass oil also helps in shrinking large, open pores because of its
astringent qualities. Not only that, Lemongrass oil even works wonders for acne
breakouts! I, as a painfully acne-prone and oily-skinned person, prefer to use
it as a pre-makeup serum.
