Flaxseed oil.

It heals your skin.

This is the season when you experience dry and itchy skin. Due to its high inflammatory index, flaxseed oil helps minimise skin irritation, redness and inflammation of any sort. Skin rashes diminish with topical application. If you are suffering from any sort of chronic skin conditions like persistent acne, rosacea or dermatitis, you can always take a drop of flaxseed oil on your finger and apply it with the tip of your finger on the affected area and blend it in.

Moisturises your skin

Another benefit of flaxseed oil is that it moisturises your skin and hydrates it from within.The essential fatty acids in flaxseed oil smoothens your skin’s appearance and makes it super soft. You can either apply flaxseed oil on its own or maybe mix it with a bit of a light-weight moisturiser and apply it evenly on your face before you retire for the night.

Gives you an even skin tone

Constant exposure to sunlight and everyday stress takes a toll on your skin. To ensure that you have smooth, clear skin, take a few drops of flaxseed oil on your palm and rub it for a few minutes to warm it. Then, massage your face with your palm for a few minutes. You can either wash it off with lukewarm water or keep it on for the entire night to give you a radiant, glowing skin when you wake up in the morning.

Reduces dark circles

Another advantage of applying flaxseed oil is that it helps reduce dark circles considerably. Just a week of applying flaxseed oil under your eyes, will give you a clear skin around the eyes and make the area look brighter.

Bergamot essential oil.

ANXIETY AND STRESS

The bergamot scent is a distinctive fragrance that has been used in aromatherapy for centuries to provide uplifting benefits. For some it can help with emotional stressors and headaches when inhaled directly from a tissue or smelling strip, or diffused into the air as an aromatic therapy treatment. It is highly effective in helping to relieve feelings of stress and anxiety, as well as balancing energy levels, as bergamot has been shown to have a calming effect on the mind.

Aromatherapists often use bergamot aromatherapy oil in massage therapy for its analgesic and antispasmodic properties when trying to help ease muscular pain or muscle cramps, by adding a few drops of bergamot to a carrier oil such as jojoba oil to create an uplifting yet deeply relaxing massage oil.

You can also use bergamot essential oil for its rebalancing, relaxing properties by adding it to a dispersant and then mixing with your bath water to help with sleep health rituals. Bergamot can also be used as a natural insect repellent for those who are sensitive or allergic to harsh chemical insecticides and want an all-natural alternative that is effective.

As well as being used in aromatherapy, Bergamot oil is an excellent ingredient of choice when used in cosmetic formulation. Its bright, green, citrus scent adds an uplifting aroma to products, while the natural therapeutic properties of bergamot make it a real asset when it comes to skin health benefits.

ACNE

Bergamot oil is an effective natural remedy for many skin problems making it an excellent choice for skincare formulations especially those that target teenage acne, as it can help reduce the bacteria on the skin by fighting against skin inflammation and breakouts with its antimicrobial benefits. Bergamot oil also has astringent properties which helps to tighten pores and reduce excess sebum production, making bergamot a perfect ingredient for those with oily skin.

It has been shown that bergamot especially when blended with other essential oils such as lavender and chamomile may help to calm the appearance of redness and inflammation associated with many skin problems such as eczema, some types of dermatitis or psoriasis, due to its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. This makes Bergamot an ingredient of consideration when formulating any natural skincare product to help balance troubled skin.
