It doesn't take much to convince us to apply a drizzle of rose, neroli or geranium oil onto our skin. Essential oils from fruits and flowers are so intoxicatingly delicious-smelling that we can barely keep from drinking the stuff, let alone slathering it on our skin. Luckily, Mother Nature designed these oils to attract with good reason: natural essential oils have incredible healing and soothing properties that, when properly utilized, can transform skin. Annie Tevelin of brand new skincare line, SkinOwl, had her own deeply healing skin experience with essential oils and was so impressed that she studied the oils and started up her own line. We asked Annie to break down the best uses for a few of these oils for certain skin types and conditions. Find the oil that suits your skin and find a way to work the scented stuff into your skincare regimen! Here's Annie... I have always loved the way essential oils feel on my skin. Essential oils melt into my skin, versus conventional lotions and creams, which can sit on the surface. While studying cosmetic chemistry, I learned that the molecules in essential oils are much smaller than that of most skin creams, meaning they're able to penetrate each pore more deeply. The deeper oils sink, the more they work. As counterintuitive as it may seem to use oils on the skin, especially when skin is troubled or in need of healing, they are actually deeply effective from the inside out to heal and nurture the skin in ways I've never seen from any other individual ingredient. I'm proud to have created a product that works on the most stubborn of skin concerns. Here are a few of the oils I love most to treat skin conditions of all kinds.
