Essential oils are powerful — which means they can heal or harm depending on how you use them. Here’s your complete guide.
- Tea Tree — The acne fighter. Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory. Use as a spot treatment, always diluted (1 drop in a teaspoon of carrier oil). Never undiluted.
- Lavender — Calming and healing. Good for irritation, minor burns, and relaxation. One of the few oils safe for mild direct application.
- Frankincense — The anti-aging oil. Promotes cell turnover and reduces the appearance of scars. Mix with rosehip oil for a powerful night treatment.
- Rose — Incredibly expensive, incredibly effective. Hydrating, anti-inflammatory, and mood-lifting. A single drop in your moisturizer transforms it.
- Avoid: Citrus Oils — Bergamot, lemon, lime, and grapefruit are phototoxic. They cause severe burns when exposed to sunlight. Never use on skin that will see daylight.
