Best Essential Oils for Skincare

What Are Essential Oils for Skincare

Essential oils are concentrated plant extracts that capture the natural benefits of flowers, leaves, and roots.

They are often used to support common skin concerns like dryness, breakouts, and uneven tone. Because they are highly potent, they should always be diluted with a carrier oil before applying to the skin.
