Jasmine 

If you are looking for something to give you that youthful glow, jasmine is the answer. It helps with your skins elasticity and plumps it up. Jasmine also helps with reducing the appearance of stretch marks and pigmented skin.

Lemongrass

If you often struggle with acne and breakouts lemongrass could be the new cure. You can use lemongrass as a toner after washing your face at night. As with any new skincare product be sure to use a tester on a small area and wait 24hours to see for any possible reactions your skin might have.

Chamomile

Chamomile is well known as the calming warm beverage, and the essential oil version is just as handy. Chamomile oil is great for treating a range of skin irritations such as eczema. It is used to calm down inflammation and soothe sensitive skin.

Tea Tree 

This essential oil is perfect if you battle with problem skin, it contains both anti-viral and antibacterial properties which reduce inflammation and treat clogged pores. We advise you to mix it into your existing moisturiser or simple just pat it on the problem areas. it is a great spot applicator if you have a nasty pimple thats made its way out. P.S – I tried this and it actually helped!

Rosemary 

Rosemary oil is essential when it comes to wanting luscious locks. Lather your scalp to improve the thickness of your hair and increase hair growth as it promotes cell regeneration.
