What are natural essential oils?
Did you know that natural essential oils are extracted from the flowers, leaves, and even the roots of plants and trees? To obtain them, these materials are subjected to a distillation process. The final result is a pure oil that is usually used diluted and mixed with other ingredients or cosmetics.
What are natural essential oils for?
Natural essential oils serve to provide well-being, and they do it in two ways:
- They stimulate the sense of smell through aromatherapy.
- If applied to the face, the skin absorbs them and benefits from their specific properties.
It is very common to use them in aroma diffusers or for the manufacture of personalized soaps, which adapt to the different needs of your skin. On the other hand, these products are recommended to enhance your facial care routine, as a mixture with your usual cosmetics.
Benefits of natural and pure essential oils
Most natural essential oils on the market are already diluted so that they can be applied directly to the skin. But, on the other hand, there are pure essential oils, which are those that have not been diluted and are concentrated to be used with a base, such as a cream or a vegetable base oil.
In both cases, they provide the same benefits as the plant, flower or root from which they are extracted. Some benefits of this natural product are:
- Analgesic and soothing properties. Ideal for sensitive or atopic skin.
- Anti-inflammatory, regenerating and healing properties. Designed for skin with acne.
- Stimulating, draining and toning properties. For dull skin with signs of age.
- moisturizing properties. For all skin types.
It is important that you choose your essential oil based on the needs of your face or the aromatherapy effects you are looking for.
How to apply facial essential oils?
Natural essential oils are pure extracts of botanical origin and should always be applied diluted to avoid damaging the skin. To benefit from its properties, try incorporating facial essential oils into your beauty routine:
- Clean your face well with a natural soap.
- Grab your regular moisturizer or choose one of our creams in store.
- Add a drop of essential oil of your choice and mix well. You can use two different oils.
- Apply all over the face and let it work before using any other cosmetics.
Please note that pure essential oils for the face cannot be applied directly. Also try that the product does not come into contact with the eyes or mucous membranes. Also, if you are going to sunbathe, do not apply any essential oil to the face with a photosensitizing agent (such as citrus: orange, lemon or bergamot) or in the hours before.
