10 Best Essential Oils to Boost Your Pro Cheer Skin Health

Essentials oils are extracts that come from seeds, leaves, and flowers. Depending on the plant they come from, they help improve various skin conditions. Included are dryness, oiliness, sensitivity, acne, rashes, pigmentation, and aging.

Good skin reflects good health. And while you’re nourishing it with the right diet, it’s also important to pamper it with the right essential oils.

Without further ado, let's explore 10 of the best essential oils and each of their benefits for more beautiful skin.

1. Lavender

Mainly for sleep and relaxation, lavender oil is good for balancing moisture levels in your skin. This essential oil also has anti-aging properties and aids with scar reduction. Looking for a multi-purpose essential oil that helps you relax as you apply? Choose lavender.

2. Geranium

Geranium extract is a sweet-smelling essential oil that has all the skincare properties you could ask for. It is good for caring for acne and blemish-prone skin. Geranium oil also heals dermatitis and prevents eczema, leaving you an elastic and smooth skin.

3. Carrot Seed

Full of antioxidants as it is in its vegetable form, carrot seed essential is one of the best for anti-aging use. It helps in neutralizing inflammation and wrinkle-causing free radicals giving a rejuvenating effect on the skin. Because of this, your skin becomes smoother and younger through cell regeneration.

4. Lemongrass

Aside from being a natural mosquito-repellant, lemongrass essential oil has skin-contraction properties. In addition, Lemongrass extract also functions as an antimicrobial that helps in preventing and fighting pimples while also removing dead skin cells.

5. Cinnamon

Cinnamic acid is a key antioxidant compound found in the cinnamon extract. It is a powerful anti-inflammatory property that helps in preventing inflammatory acne symptoms like cysts, nodules, and pustules. If you’re suffering from them, consider using a cinnamon essential oil.

6. Sandalwood

Sandalwood is a mild oil but with a powerful effect on the skin. Its antiseptic properties prevent acne and rashes. This oil heals itching and inflammation. It also gently exfoliates your skin and helps fade scars. Sandalwood extract promotes clear skin.

7. Neroli

For oily, sensitive, and mature skin, use Neroli essential oil. Included in its extract is citral, a sebum balancing chemical that doesn’t cause skin dryness. Citral is also good at preventing and healing stretch marks. Neroli extract helps in smoothing fine lines while its antibacterial properties help in keeping your skin blemish-free.

8. Tea Tree

The antibacterial properties of tea tree essential oil helps ward off acne-causing bacteria. Tea tree extract is so natural that it requires no dilution which aids in healing wounds and removing scars better. You can apply Tea Tree daily to regulate your skin’s oil production, helping fight breakouts before they even start.

9. Rosehip Seed

Originally used by the Mayans and Native Americans for its healing properties, Rosehip essential oil has a high ratio of linoleic, alpha-linolenic, and oleic acid. The seed’s extract also has tocopherol and carotenoids. This combination results in an anti-inflammatory property that prevents the imbalance of radicals and antioxidants on the skin. Additional rosehip seed skin benefits are:

Moisturizing (prevents dryness)
Anti-aging
Brightens skin and reduces pigmentation (fairer and even-toned skin)
Antibacterial (prevents acne and fights pimples)

10. Frankincense

Frankincense extract is one of the multi-purpose essential oils. It has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, giving great benefits for sensitive acne-prone skin. The oil is also a natural skin-toner, decreasing the appearance of pores and evening skin-tone when applied. When used topically and cosmetically, the Frankincense oil’s astringent and cytophylactic qualities help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and skin imperfections.

Before using essential oils, talk to your dermatologist and seek advice. Use a patch test to check for allergies. Observe the proper application and dilution of oils to avoid irritation.
