4 Essential Oil Beauty Hacks You Need to Know

Posted by Phil Houghton on

There are a lot of fads in the beauty industry that come and go, which means that while you might be excited about something one day, it could be gone the next. The problem with fads is that you never know whether they truly work, or whether they’re just the newest selling point for the cosmetics industry.

One aspect of the beauty industry that you can count on for longevity is essential oils. Essential oils have been around for centuries, having been used for all kinds of different health ailments. While you might think you know everything there is to know about essential oils, think again. Let's take a look at four essential oil beauty hacks you need to know to keep your beauty in check both inside and out.

  1. Carrot Seed Oil for Anti-Aging

Right off the bat, carrot seed oil is known for having a boatload of antioxidants that can help to improve your immunity. It also contains antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties that both work towards a healthier system throughout the body.

Carrot seed oil is also great for stimulating blood flow and cell renewal, which is why it’s touted as a great anti-aging remedy. When applying carrot seed oil, we recommend using a carrier oil to dilute it a bit. Try something like safflower or coconut oil. You can apply it overnight if you want so that it’s extra effective.

  1. Almond Oil as an Exfoliant

Almond oil is rich in vitamins like E, A, and Zinc, which means that it's excellent for helping with things like eye puffiness, as well as providing extra hydration for the skin. Almond oil can even help to reduce the effects of damage from the sun, making it a great oil to keep in your cupboard during the summer months.

Because it also contains emollient properties, it can help remove old, damaged skin cells that you don't need, which frees your skin up to be smooth and supple. For a relaxing almond oil face mask, try combining a couple of drops with honey and applying to your face and neck.

  1. Rosemary Oil for Damaged Hair

Has your hair been suffering from the recent winter? Perhaps it gets really dry and frizzy in the summer, and the result is damaged hair cuticles that you can’t seem to fix. If this sounds like you, then you need to see what all the fuss is about with rosemary oil.

Rosemary oil can do many things for the body, making it an excellent holistic essential oil. It can help with digestive and liver health, as well as blood circulation. It can also help with joint inflammation. Lastly, it’s got some effective antioxidants that can help your cuticles seal in any oil they produce, which will enable them to grow back to their former selves in no time at all.

  1. Orange Oil for Boosting Your Collagen

If you’ve used orange oil before, you’ll know that it’s one of the most refreshing smelling oils. This is why it’s touted as a great natural energy and mood booster, which you can apply in the morning straight after breakfast.

What you might not know about it is that it can help boost your collagen as well. This is because it can encourage the production of collagen in your skin, which is going to smooth you those deeper lines and give you an overall younger-looking face.
