Regular use of pure essential oils has
been long known to help keep your skin healthy. These nutrients
from nature contain minerals that are essential to proper skin
health, which are recognized by the skin cells and readily
accepted through the pores. Rejuvenating aroma therapeutic skin
products are largely aimed at stimulating rapid cell
regeneration in the dermal layer, thus protecting the health of
the skin from within.
Here’s what essential oils can do for your skin:
 |
Penetrate
lower skin layers to work on moisturizing and healing
|
|
|
Stimulate
and regenerate skin cells, to heal skin damaged by sun,
burns,
wrinkles or injury |
|
|
Destroy
infectious bacteria, viruses, and fungi, such as those
associated with acne and other skin problems |
|
|
Reduce
inflammation and puffiness |
|
|
Soothe
sensitive or injured skin |
|
|
Regulate
over- or under-active oil glands |
|
|
Encourage
removal of waste products |
|
|
Treat
stress-related skin problems |
|
|
Tone and
moisturize the skin |

Keville
Recent research has proven that certain essential oils such as
Rose, Neroli, Lavender and Frankincense can indeed stimulate
cellular granulation, which is the first stage of healing after
an injury, and keep the skin looking youthful.*
