5 Best Essential Oils for Skincare
Essential oils, and the benefits that come along with them, are a secret held by many for healthy skin. Even if you don’t directly incorporate essential oils into your skincare yet, you may be surprised to see just how many oils are in the everyday products you do already use. Moisturizers, serums, cleansers, and even some cosmetic products take full advantage of essential oils and the benefits they have to offer.
Essential Oils for Your Best Skincare Regimen

Lavender Essential Oil
Lavender is an all-around necessity in the essential oil world. For skin, its key benefits include cleansing and helping to heal skin irritations or broken skin. For instance, if you’ve recently experienced a breakout, and you’ve picked at your skin knowing you shouldn’t but did anyway, lavender essential oils can help to speed up the healing of your skin while keeping the surface clean. Lavender isn’t only for the face, and its healing properties can be used just about anywhere on the body you wish to soothe skin and minimize scarring.
Lavender also helps the skin in another way, and that’s through sleep. It’s no secret that a good night’s rest can work wonders on your skin, and lavender can help to soothe the body and the mind to welcome in restful sleep. Simply take lavender essential oils, place them in the nebulizing diffuser of your choice, and allow the aroma to take you away.

Rose Geranium Essential Oil
Rose Geranium is the great balancer, and this is exactly how it works to improve your skin. Whether you overproduce oil, leaving you with oily and breakout prone skin, or you under produce oil, leaving you dry and more susceptible to the signs of aging, rose geranium essential oil can help. Because of its balancing properties, rose geranium essential oil works beautifully for all skin types, and it can be added to moisturizers to keep your skin balanced in seconds.

Ylang Ylang Essential Oil
Acne is typically treated as an adolescent problem, which leaves adult acne sufferers frustrated and without the products they need to care for their skin. An estimated 60 million Americans suffer from acne, and 20% of that 60 million are adults of all ages. What ylang ylang provides to skin is a way to treat the signs of aging and acne at the same time. Normally, acne products focus on lowering oil production and clearing the skin through drying, which can leave aging skin even more susceptible to succumbing to the signs of aging. Ylang ylang, however, helps to treat acne conditions while simultaneously stimulating cell growth and fighting aging and skin damage.
-
Lemongrass Essential Oil
Lemongrass helps to treat acne by clearing current breakouts, but it also takes care of those past acne marks as well. One of the most frustrating parts of suffering from acne is that even when the current blemishes have gone away, they leave in their wake ghosts of themselves in the form of dark marks and post-acne scars. Lemongrass not only helps to clear acne and large pores, it gives skin a healthy glow while speeding up the removal of post acne marks.
-
Chamomile Essential Oil
Like lavender, chamomile is well known to calm, soothe, and comfort irritated skin. Eczema, inflammation, rosacea, bug bites, and rashes can all be soothed by incorporating chamomile into your skincare regimen. One really popular way to soothe skin and soothe the senses is by adding a couple drops of chamomile essential oils to a warm bath. For itchy and dry winter skin, adding some chamomile to an oatmeal bath can provide the relief you’ve been looking all season for.
Safely Using Essential Oils in Skincare
If you wish to gain the benefits of essential oils for skincare, you’ll need to use pure oils, not synthetic, and use them correctly. Pure essential oils should not be applied directly to the skin, and should always be diluted with a carrier oil before application. If you’re adding essential oils to a moisturizer or serum, the product will act as a carrier for the couple of small drops of essential oil added to it.
