Have you heard a lot about essential oils lately? Well, that's for good reason! Essential oils are a multi-tasking addition to any beauty or acne clearing regimen as they help reduce inflammation, repair damaged skin and add an aromatherapy component during application. My favorite three essential oils for clear skin are lavender, helichrysum, and frankincense. These lovelies help relax, rejuvenate and replenish the skin and the senses.
So why are these three oils my top picks for skin health?
Lavender. This herb specifically helps with reducing redness and inflammation. Its scent also illicits a calming and sedative effective when inhaled, so it’s a great before bed application to help you wind down plus you wake up to reduced skin irritation. Bonus! Rub 2 to 3 drops into palms and pat onto face or dot directly on blemishes for reduced swelling and redness.
Helichrysum. The gold standard of essential oils. This rare gem is prime for skin repair and scar healing. If you’re over your acne and looking to repair the red marked side effects, applying this directly works wonders for tissue repair and promotes a healthy glow. It’s also perfection for reducing wrinkles. Massage gently into damaged skin for optimal results.
Frankincense. This oil is prime for assisting in acne clearing and scar repair. It helps balance sebum oil production which reduces the rate of clogged pores and the occurrence of acne. It also reduces fine lines, wrinkles and the appearance of scars. Apply directly to damaged skin.
All three of these can be applied directly to the skin or added to argan oil as a moisturizing skin elixir. Try both ways to find your preference!
I use these essential oils for myself and for my Clear Skin Coaching clients because their skin benefits are unmatched. I recently discovered a blend of all three in Sheer Miracle's Sea Mineral Hydrating Mist which I am now officially obsessed with! I have it at my desk and just literally sprayed some on while writing this.
Delve into this skin healthy luxury on the daily and apply these therapeutic oils individually or mist on Sheer Miracle's blend any time day or night for major skin support.
