Top 10 Anti-Aging Essential Oils for your Skin

Sharing is caring!

These Anti-aging Essential Oils are phenomenal for your skin! They help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, soothe irritated skin, and rejuvenate tired skin. 

You've heard the hype about essential oils! We know they are amazing and powerful, but before I talk about which ones are great for anti-aging, let's talk a little about safety…

Since essential oils are concentrated substances, they should be diluted in a carrier oil and/or butter to about 1-3% for most skincare preparations.

Always do a spot test before using new oils. Mix one drop of oil with 1 tsp carrier oil. Place a small amount on the inside of your elbow and watch for any itching or irritation.

Some people (like myself) have more sensitive skin than others. So it's always good to spot test.

How to Use Anti-Aging Essential Oils

As I mentioned before, diluting essential oils is for skin care is highly recommended. Generally you want a 1-3% dilution for DIY face creams and serums. They can be added to your natural face creams and lotions to give them a little extra power. I love creating simple face serums because this is so easy to do!
