Essentials Oils and the Skin Care Enhancements They Provide
The presence of excess oils and the skin care problems that they cause can be a serious source of social embarrassment-at least if acne outbreaks also occur. Many skin care treatments that deal with the problems of oily skin do not control acne. Yet, many of the top skin care products for pimples cause dryness to the point of inducing a condition known as Reactive Seborrhea-when the body produces even more oil than before and the acne problem may become even worse.
Essential oils are plant extracts that contain a variety of healthy "living nutrients" that can provide a number of benefits in all natural skin care products-especially those made to help with acne and excess oil. To be helpful with acne outbreaks, the best skin care product needs to have three main components:
- Bactericide-bacteria combine with the excess oils and produce pimples when they become trapped in clogged pores; any cleanser or skin care product that is meant to fight acne needs to have some form of antibacterial agent.
- Astringent-excess oil not only provides the bacteria with the catalyst needed to form pimples-it can clog pores and is generally unhealthy for your skin. You need to find skin care treatments that have a mild astringent but not one so powerful that it removes too much oil.
- Moisturizer-while you do not need a moisturizer like one used in some serious skin care products, it is a good idea to have a mild emollient to counteract the effects of the astringent
Camphor oil is one of those beneficial plant extracts that is great in organic skin care products made to help with acne problems. Camphor oil helps fight infections and acts as a mild astringent and antibacterial agent while also improving circulation. Plus, skin care ingredients like camphor oil also help serve as mild emollients.
Eucalyptus oil is another plant extract that is very beneficial in any natural skin care product for acne because it acts as a natural bactericide and astringent. Plus, this essential oil will help repair and regenerate the sebaceous glands responsible for producing the oils the protect and moisturize your skin. Thus, solutions for skin care made with eucalyptus oil help fight bacteria, remove excess oil, and regenerate and repair the sebaceous glands so oil production stabilizes.
Avocado oil is a plant extract that is better suited for skin care treatments dealing with dryness problems. Plus, for conditions like psoriasis or eczema, avocado oil is very useful in treatment as it can penetrate deep into the skin. There, the essential fatty acids and antioxidants help rejuvenate and restore the natural balance in your skin. Avocado is great in dry skin care products because it is an emollient, deep penetrating, adds stability, acts as a moisturizer and skin softener.
Whether you are trying to fight acne and excess oil or fighting dryness problems, the essential oils and skin care go hand in hand and will help restore and revitalize from within.
