Essential Oils For Dry Skin

We all are blessed with different skin types like normal, oily and dry skin types and every skin type has its own requirement.

I have extremely dry skin and all the dry skin damsels out there would agree that dry skin can be really annoying at times. Because no matter how many moisturizing products we use our skin tends to lose its moisture.

And the main reason for that is our skin does not produce enough natural oil. That is why no matter what it is very difficult to keep our skins hydrated. So what can be the solution to that?

Well, why not give our skin the goodness of some essential oils? That is probably the best way to exacerbate dryness. So let us see which are the best Essential oils we can opt for...

What Are Essential Oils?

''Essential oils are compounds extracted from plants. The oils capture the plant’s scent and flavour, or “essence.” 

Once the aromatic chemicals have been extracted, they are combined with a carrier oil to create a product that’s ready for use. Essential oils enter the body primarily in three ways: applied to the skin, inhaled, or ingested. Within each of these, there are many different kinds of application methods. For example, you can apply essential oils topically using compresses, sprays, baths, or massaging them into the skin.

They not only are used in skincare regimes but can also be used for treating several ailments.
