Ylang Ylang your way to perfect skin

Ylang ylang essential oil is derived from the petals of a large tropical tree. The name of the tree actually means ‘flower of flowers’ and it was named because of its incredible sweet floral aroma. The Ylang Ylang flower has been used for centuries in perfumes, religious ceremonies, aromatherapy, and wedding events, and the essential oil produced from this blossom is just as versatile. 

Skin 

One of the best beauty benefits of ylang-ylang essential oil is its sebum balancing properties. Sebum refers to the natural oils produced by our skin, and cause havoc if not in sync. Ylang ylang oil has a powerful regulating effect that helps correct overly oily as well as very dry skin types. This makes it perfect for clearing up acne. Its sebum balancing properties help reduce excess sebum production which is common in causing blemishes and infections. Furthermore, its antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties help disinfect and speed up the healing of acne wounds and prevent bacteria from spreading, as well as being perfect for irritated skin. It has a high concentration of antioxidants, essential to fight off free radicals that are responsible for premature ageing, fine lines, and wrinkles. This will give the skin a firmer, fresher look, and increase brightness and radiance.
