Posted on October 30, 2018

Signs of aging can start as early as our twenties. It’s important that you begin taking care of problem areas from a young age.  These four essential oils to fight aging are a great start to keeping our skin firm and wrinkle free!

Here are four essential oils that have us looking younger than ever!

Jojoba oil:

Sebum is your body’s natural moisturizer. A lack of sebum causes dry skin and hair, while excess causes oil build-ups, which can end in acne. When your skin is feeling dry, it is because of the loss of water in the upper layer of the skin. By gently rubbing this essential oil into your skin, it will trap the water to maintain its moisture. This oil is completely natural, which means there are no harsh chemicals to cause an allergic reaction. Jojoba oil does not clog pores. It is made up of 82% Iodine, which is where majority of the healing power comes from. It fights harmful bacteria that can lead to breakouts of the skin. Its antioxidants, such as Chromium, Copper, Zinc, and Vitamin E, help smooth fine lines and wrinkles. With consistent use, you’ll be seeing great results!

Pomegranate Seed Oil:

Pomegranates are one of the best fruits on the market. Their abundance of antioxidants and bioflavonoids make them one of the best options to slow down aging. Pomegranates help enhance Vitamin C and blood circulation, while also treating conditions such as arthritis and allergies. Exposure to UV rays from the sun is one of the major factors in increasing the rate of visible aging. Pomegranate Seed oil acts as a natural SPF to help create a barrier between your skin and the sun. Using a sunscreen will help prevent skin discoloration, wrinkles, and fine lines. This oil can also be used on sunburns to soothe and heal.

Frankincense Oil:

Frankincense is a powerful oil with an abundance of healing properties. This oil has the ability to lift and strengthen skin, so it can be used anywhere the skin is saggy. It can help reduce the appearance of age spots and discoloration caused by sun exposure or aging. Lastly, it can be used as a moisturizer and help significantly reduce prominence of acne, scars, wounds and stretch marks.

Lavender Oil:

Lavender oil can be used in hand with Frankincense oil in reducing appearance of age spots. It is best for producing the three most powerful antioxidants our body needs: glutathione, catalase, and superoxide dismutase. These prevent skin damage and protect the skin. This oils antimicrobial and antioxidant powers make it great for pairing with any of the essential oils previously mentioned.
