Essential oils- are they bad for your skin?

Essential oils can be good for your skin, but definitely most of them aren't. Essential oils are essences from plants, that usually have a strong smell. They are used as fragrance or just by themself in skincare.Most of them are really irritating for skin and can clog the pores, but if they are used correctly in skin care products they can have some benefits like antioxidation and they can be antibacterial. Sadly essential oils are bad for people with eczema, sensitiv, acnepron, fragrance sensitive, irritation prone skin, because they can lead to a break out on your skin. Unfortunately we can find essential oils in almost every product, for example limonene is a really popular fragrance and we can even find it in products for babies that have a really sensitive skin. So when are they good to use? If they are in a wash off product or a lotion for the body and not face they are less dangerous for our skin ( it’s because skin on our face is usually more sensitive than the one on the rest of our body), but we should still be carefull!


As a person with sensitive, acne-prone skin I can admit that essential oils are not it for me. I also don’t like skin products with a really strong smell, which essential oils give. The only essential oil I like is the tea tree oil, which is antibacterial and I usually buy pimple patches with it on the ingredient list.
