- Olive oil strengthens s and softens skin, reduces skin wrinkling and ageing.
- Lemon grass oil penetrates deep into the skin pores and removes pigmentation marks, skin blemishes and dark skin patches, excellent skin toner.
- E antioxidant protects skin from sun rays.
Increases blood circulation and repairs dry and sun damaged
skin. Strengthens s and removes skin blemishes and dark skin
patches. Aromatherapy oils reduce stress, headache, cold and
. What are the causes of an unclear and blemished skin? How
can aromatherapy help? One of the major causes for an unclear
skin is sun exposure. Our body releases a darkening pigment, or
melanin, in response to UV exposure; causing skin tan. Its
non-uniform distribution in the body causes uneven pigmentation
and/or freckling. Another reason for marks is ring due to
acne, wounds etc; multiplied by the slower cellular regeneration
(repairing) of maturing skin. Aromatherapy uses essential oils
from s; certain of which exhibit anti-oxidant properties and
promote re-growth of new, ier cells; while protecting skin
from solar damage. Some oils also help keep the skin free of
infections, and thus consequential ring. The added benefits
of these oils include relieving muscular aches; strengthening the
immune system; reducing stress; as well as remedying and
cold. How does the body benefit from Olive Oil? Olive oil is a
rich source of anti-oxidants; including E, polyphenol and
hydroxytyrosol. These safeguard the skin against, as well as
repair free radical damage to it; which is aggravated by sun
exposure and results in premature aging of the skin. They also
stimulate cellular regeneration, thereby helping in
reduction. Its hydrophilic nature, ty content as well as
it deep penetrative ability makes it an excellent moisturizer for
dry flaky skin. It is also known to strengthen s, nails;
while softening cuticles. Another constituent compound of olive
oil, olecanthol, inhibits production of inflammation-inducing
enzymes; thus it helps reduce swelling as well as relieves muscle
pains and aches. How is Lily Oil beneficial for our skin? Lily
oil is extracted from Lillium candidum, also known as White Lily.
Its constituents, polysaccharides and saponins, grant it
anti-inflammatory and soothing properties. Polysaccharides
further render it an emollient. Thus it makes an excellent
moisturizer for irritated, sensitive or dry skin; while enhancing
skin’s elasticity. The anti-septic property of lily oil makes it
beneficial to treat es and eczema. The oil also smoothes the
skin, as it reduces accumulation of dead skin cells. Also an
anti-oxidant, lily oil promotes tissue regeneration, along with
healing of ulcers, wounds, scalds and burns, without
formation; as well as in treating es. It is even known to
relieve pain associated with burns and ease contracted tendons.
What makes E an important element for aging skin care?
E is a natural anti-oxidant; thus it defends the skin
against UV rays-induced damage, by protecting it from tissue
degeneration. Sun is a majorly responsible factor for the
formation of free radicals, which are known to destroy cells and
lead to premature aging. And E scavenges these free
radicals. It also helps repair the damage already caused by the
sun, by promoting growth of newer, ier cells. A higher
cellular turnover rate helps repair damaged tissues; while also
reducing dark spots, pigmentation marks, acne marks and s.
E also promotes production of collagen and elastin;
maintaining the firmness and elasticity of the skin as well as
helping fade away prevalent s too. How does Lemon grass
Oil prove beneficial in this therapy? Lemongrass oil is
astringent in nature. It provides deep pore cleansing; removing
excess oil and impurities from pores, and tightening them. Its
anti-microbial property helps fight acne, athlete’s foot and
other skin infections. A massage with lemon grass oil is known to
stimulate blood circulation, clear cellulite as well as helps in
relieving muscle pain; the latter owed to its anti-inflammatory
nature. An enhanced circulation, along with its astringency can
help clear skin of pigmentation spots and other blemishes. This
oil is extracted from fresh, or only partly dried, leaves of
grass Cymbopogon citrates and is known to keep the skin y
and supple. It strengthens connective tissue; firms up the skin
and helps maintain its elasticity.
