Essential oils are valuable sources of nutrients for healthy facial skin. Blends based on them have long been used successfully in cosmetology for facial rejuvenation. The use of essential oil accelerates the processes of metabolism, regeneration and removal of toxins from the skin. It nourishes cells, improves breathing and is an essential natural remedy in combating the natural aging of the skin. In addition, the pleasant aroma of essential oils has a beneficial effect on a woman's emotional health, which also affects the youth of the skin.
Almost all essential oils effectively fight skin aging. In some of them, these properties are more pronounced:
the Rose
Rose essential oil perfectly strengthens the skin, saturates it with oxygen and is an effective antioxidant. Activates regeneration at the cellular level, has whitening properties, thanks to which it perfectly combats age spots and hyperpigmentation. Rose intensely hydrates dry, rough skin, gives it a healthy glow, makes it firm and supple, and hydrated and nourished skin looks younger and fresher.
Carrot
Carrots have a great effect on the condition of the skin. 5 drops of its juice should be added to 100 ml of any oil (eg apricot, almond, grape seed) or to a cream, mask, tonic or serum. The prepared product will restore skin tone and elasticity. Carrots actively dilate blood vessels - so the skin relaxes and softens. Vitamin A (retinol) contained in this vegetable is a powerful antioxidant that delays skin aging. It closes pores, normalizes the balance of water and fat, increases the skin's resistance to the effects of various environmental factors.
Incense
This essential oil is very effective against aging. Removes wrinkles well, evens out the skin tone, tightens and reduces sagging.
Jasmine
Jasmine essential oil lightens the complexion, reduces irritation and allergic reactions that occur on dry, sensitive skin. Jasmine gives mature skin a youthful glow, tones and tightens it, closes pores and, due to hydration and increased skin turgor, visually reduces fine wrinkles.
Nerol
Neroli oil has a strong effect compared to other oils. This aromatic oil provides a rejuvenating effect on the skin's inner radiance, initiates regenerative processes and helps to eliminate wrinkles. It also contains powerful antioxidants, intensely hydrates and nourishes the skin, restores the water-lipid balance, makes it firm and elastic and accelerates the regenerative processes in the dermis.
rosehip
Rosehip oil contains many vitamins C, A, E, polyunsaturated and saturated fatty acids. It is one of the best options for skin rejuvenation and prevention of premature aging. Rosehip actively stimulates skin regeneration at the cellular and tissue level, restores the normal structure of the skin after burns, cuts and deep skin eruptions. This oil restores and strengthens the capillary walls, reducing age-related manifestations of blood vessels, saturating them with active oxygen, improving skin color and elasticity.
