What do geraniums bring to mind for you? Maybe flower pots dripping lovely pink and red flowers that fill the air with their heady scent?
Well, it turns out they have other wonderful qualities for your health and skin! It begins with their leaves, which are the main source of their scent. If you crush the leaves between your fingers, you can smell citrus, spice and rose tones.
Geranium oil comes from the pressing and distillation of the leaves and stalks. The liquid gives off a potent spicy-rose undertone that is used in perfumes, but also in aromatherapy and cosmetics and skincare.
What can geranium oil do for your skin?
Here are just 4 of the wonderful benefits this naturally anti-inflammatory and an anti-oxidant oil provides:
- Geranium oil soothes irritated skin and skin that breaks out, while also boosting the skin's overall condition, health and natural glow.
- It’s often used in treating scar tissue and areas marked by sunburn and acne, which makes it the perfect ingredient for skin lotions, moisturizers, balms and cleansers. This is why we use it in our products. It helps to speed up the healing of wounds, reduces scar tissue and helps new healthy cells to regenerate faster to give you clearer skin with a natural glow.
- Geranium oil reduces the signs of aging and the appearance of wrinkles, because it naturally tightens skin while retaining its moisture and suppleness. It firms up your skin naturally and can have a fast, noticeable effect on those unwanted wrinkles when used regularly, preferably in a blend with other botanicals.
- Used to address dermatitis and other skin conditions, Geranium oil helps skin cells regain their health so your skin becomes clearer and more radiant.
How to get geranium oil into your skincare routine.
You can purchase geranium oil and add it to the products you use, but it’s better to find products that use it in combination with other botanicals so that you gain the benefits from the combined effects of a blend.
We use geranium oil, along with many more wonderful essential oils and plant extracts, to give you healthy, effective products you can use every day, for a blooming, beautiful skin.
