Essential oils are some of the most versatile products of nature. They can be used for a myriad of needs; from emotional to physical to spiritual. For the skin they are just as beneficial. When essential oils are a part of your skin care regimen, they help to bring about long-lasting healing results: Sometimes when nothing else has worked.
Here are a few essential oils that your skin will love.
Clary Sage
Clary sage contains plant chemicals which are very similar to human hormones and act as “hormone precursors”; meaning that he human body can convert them to whatever it needs at the time. Clary sage is beneficial to skin where there is a hormonal imbalance.
Eucalyptus
Eucalyptus functions much like tea tree oil and is well known for its ability to clear blackheads and blemishes and create smooth skin.
Lavender
Lavender is what I like to call the “good for it all” oil. It is great for so many uses and does little to no harm. Lavender is good for the skin, soothing and calming, and extraordinarily healing for burns and blemishes. It is also very drying and should be used in conjunction with an all natural moisturizer like shea butter or coconut oil – both of which are great for the skin.
Sandalwood
Sandalwood oil has a mild fragrance and is extremely moisturizing. In Biblical times, sandalwood was used for wrinkles and scars and renewing tired skin.
Tea Tree
Tea tree oil from the melaleuca tree is useful for cleaning and soothing blotchy skin or acne. It helps heal blemishes and relieves congestion in the skin.
Essential oils are powerful in so many ways. This is why they are added to all Sacred Glo candles, making them beneficial in bringing out your skin’s natural glow.
