Royals Essence Guide - Best Essential Oils For Your Skin

What is an Essential Oil?

Essential oils are concentrated liquid extracts derived from plants. These extracts have the beneficial essence of those plants. Hence called essential oil. These concentrated elixirs contain essential amino acids that help maintain the health of your skin.

How is it Used?

Predominantly used in aromatherapy, essential oils are inhaled scent molecules in essential oils that go directly from the olfactory nerves to the brain and significantly impact the amygdala, the emotional center of the brain.

However, when applied to the skin after mixing it with a carrier oil, the active compounds in the essential oils get absorbed as your skin is somewhat permeable. The absorption of oil into the skin depends on heat and blood circulation. To enhance the absorption, it is advised to massage the skin where you need to apply the oil. Massage will not only generate heat but also improve blood circulation.

Since essential oils are concentrated elixirs, a patch test before using them on your face is always recommended.
