We all know the sayings “True beauty comes from within” and “Beauty is only skin deep” but that won’t keep us from trying to get healthier, more youthful looking skin. A lot of us spend so much time longing for it, especially as we age. We have some amazing products and tips to help you reach your anti-aging skin goals the chemical-free way!
What are the best essential oils for skin?
There are so many topical ointments, creams, and salves, both prescription and over the counter for us to use. Nowadays, most people prefer to reach for the non-toxic options and we can’t blame them! You can use any of these oils on their own or make combinations of two or more with a carrier oil to suit your needs. Just as it takes time to age, it will also take time for your skin to regenerate so allow at least thirty days to see signs of improvement. As with all products we use on our skin, be sure to perform a patch test prior to all over application to test for any skin sensitivities.
