Geranium flowers are beautiful to look at, but there is so much more to this colorful flower! They have long been used a remedy for many conditions in Native American cultures and for hundreds of years in various parts of the world as a holistic treatment to promote radiant skin.
The leaves, stems, and roots of the geranium have wonderful natural astringent properties that tone and firm your skin. Geranium oil also helps to diminish wrinkles, making it an outstanding anti-aging ingredient. In fact, it is one of the most highly effective essential oils for this because it can tighten and firm the skin, and slows down the visual effects of aging.
For battling skin issues like acne, geranium oil might be just what you need to clear up your skin and get rid of those blemishes, because it has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. It helps to cleanse your skin of the pore-clogging dirt and bacteria that end up causing those annoying pimples. And geranium oil can also help soothe and decrease the inflammation.
In addition to these antibacterial properties, geranium oil also has anti-fungal abilities as well, and is known to be effective against many kinds of bacteria and fungi. When used with a carrier oil, geranium essential oil can be used on a cut or wound to effectively clean off any bacteria and help it heal.
All of these skin healing properties have an important part in helping to improve the look and feel of your skin.
How do you use it?
Like most essential oils, it’s not recommended to apply geranium essential oil directly to your skin. It’s best to blend it with a carrier oil or use it in moisturizers and serums, especially those created for toning and anti-aging purposes, like Beauti Me’s Therapeutic Body Lotion, which is formulated with a powerful combination of skin-conditioning botanicals, including geranium oil to keep your skin glowing!
