The 10 Best Essential Oils For Your Beauty

Depending on the essential oil chosen for your beauty, we will have to dilute it before using it, as some could be too aggressive by applying them directly to the skin.

Thanks to their aromas and cosmetic properties, essential oils are one of the incredible allies of our beauty treatments.

Do you want to know the most effective and the most recommended to be beautiful and young? Below we tell you about it.

Why use essential oils for beauty?

Essential oils have many properties and that is why they are used in beauty products and cosmetics.

They can be useful for treating acne, cellulite, wrinkles, and even sore muscles.

Unlike commercial creams and lotions, they do not contain any chemicals that could have serious health consequences.

In addition, the oils hydrate and nourish the skin, treat problems and stimulate the skin’s natural defenses.

They are used in beauty centers, but you can also use them at home.

The best essential oils for your beauty

Whether it is to reduce wrinkles, to give a relaxing massage or to hydrate the skin, essential oils can help you stay young and beautiful.

Here are the most recommended:

1. Lavender essential oil

It is one of the best known and most used in aesthetics, as well as in medicine thanks to its properties, applications and versatility.

It is an oil that can be applied directly to the skin (you do not need to dilute it) and which enhances the action of other components if you mix it.

• Lavender oil has the ability to regenerate the skin, which is why it is recommended for people with acne, wrinkles, burns or wounds.

2. Lemon essential oil

It contains a lot of vitamin C, a very powerful antioxidant found in citrus fruits.

• It protects against aging of the skin because it prevents the development of free radicals which “break” the skin cells.
• We owe the properties of this essential oil to citral, a chemical substance that not only gives it its aroma but also its most interesting benefits (for example in the treatment of wrinkles).

3. Rose essential oil

It is a real ally of our beauty because it brings a pleasant smell and allows us to heal the skin.

• Rose oil treats eczema and dry skin, stops skin aging and can be used on all skin types.
• Thanks to its astringent properties, it restores damaged capillaries, repairs acne marks or scars and gives a better general appearance to the skin.

4. Rosehip essential oil

Originally from Europe, this plant is rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (Omega 3 and 6) as well as in antioxidant vitamins (A, C and E).

The essential oil is extracted from the seeds of the rosa moschata  and has many properties. Among these we find:

• Stimulate the production of collagen
• Reduce wrinkles and expression lines
• Improve the appearance of wrinkles, stretch marks and spots

It is more than useful after being exposed to the sun because it hydrates the skin, as well as after an operation or a burn.

5. Tea tree essential oil

This is one of the other oils that you should always have in your home if you like to take care of yourself.

You can apply it directly to the skin and is useful for treating conditions like acne (it helps dry pimples), herpes, or open wounds (cuts).

6. Sage essential oil

It allows us to have softer and firmer skin and is also very useful on skin with open pores.

In addition, sage oil masks wrinkles and prevents the formation of new lines of expression.

7. Rosemary essential oil

It is a fundamental ally of our beauty and our health. Because it reduces, for example, dandruff and improves scalp health.

You can apply it directly to the hairline or mix it with your shampoo or conditioner.

• Rosemary oil can be used to treat dermatitis, eczema, acne, or facial swelling.

8. Argan oil

It is extracted from a tree that can only be found in Morocco (known as the “tree of life”).

Its fruits contain 3 times more vitamin E, essential fatty acids and beta-carotenes than olive oil. It has the ability to repair, nourish and bring softness and shine to the hair.

• We can also use argan oil to reduce premature aging of the skin. Fight wrinkles, spots and flaccidity and thus improve stretch marks and marks left by acne and chickenpox.
• As it is not comedogenic (it does not clog pores), it is suitable for oily skin or those who tend to suffer from pimples and blackheads.
• Argan regenerates the skin after burns caused by the sun. Strengthens the nails and allows the skin to recover its elasticity.

9. Chamomile essential oil

Here is one of the other oils that we can apply to the skin without mixing or diluting it because it doesn’t irritate.

It has very interesting anti-inflammatory properties and that is why it is recommended for people suffering from dermatitis.

10. Geranium essential oil

It is one of the most widely used essential oils in natural cosmetics for beauty.

It is used to prevent and treat cellulite. To apply it, we must first mix it with another oil, such as almonds for example.

• It heals wounds and scars, eliminates body odor, treats oily skin and reduces acne.
