In this blog, Rubina Ratnakar brings some essential oils for your skincare. Most of us believe that only our hair needs oiling but actually, our skin needs oils to treat it too. There are different types of essential oils for different skin types and to nourish them.
Essential oils are oils extracted from parts like flowers, leaves, or seeds of a plant. Before using any oil, you should consider its usage and effects. Rubina Ratnakar talks about all skin types one by one in this blog.
Starting with dry skin, dryness of skin can be either permanent or a temporary condition due to a change in weather or going to a different place. Lavender oil, Sandalwood, and Chamomile oil are some great oils suitable for dry skin.
If you have oily skin, then you should be careful about the kind of oil you choose. Rosemary and Frankincense are great oils for oily skin that will treat the excess production of oil in your skin.
Generally, we use essential oils when we are not getting enough nutrients from our daily skincare routine and are not getting enough moisture. These problems can be acne, rash, aging of the skin, or sensitivity of the skin.
Acne is a common problem almost people of all ages face. Acne is a result of excess production of oil in the skin. You need to use oils that are cool in nature to treat the excess production of oil by the skin. Lemon oil, Tea tree oil, and Cinnamon oil are the best oils for skin that is prone to acne.
Skin rashes and sensitivity are kind of related to each other but it’s not necessary that sensitivity will always be the reason behind skin rashes. Allergy to a particular thing can result in a skin rash. Essential oils to use for this kind of skin are Peppermint, Eucalyptus, and Frankincense.
The aging of skin scares every one of us. Instead of the various anti-aging creams and packs, you can use essential oils to delay problems like fine lines, wrinkles, and dark circles. You can use Rose oil, Jojoba oil, Lavender oil, Frankincense, and Carrot seed oil to avoid aging of the skin. Know more about essential oils ‘here’.
