Essential oils aren't as good at hydrating skin as moisturizers
1 of 5
Essentials oils have more good fat cells that can be easily absorbed in our skin. This helps them go through the lipid layer of our skin and enable healthy levels of oil to be maintained within our skin. Moisturizers, on the other hand, are combinations of water and oil and although they can hydrate and keep skin soft temporarily but dry out quicker. However, essential oils tend to have a better impact on ageing as they not only moisturize but also reduce the number of free radicals within your skin.
Which among the following is the best face cleanser for removing makeup?
2 of 5
Essential oils are the best cleansers even for getting rid of the makeup on your face. While face washes and foaming cleansers tend to have harmful chemicals which can damage your skin, essential oils will not only keep it healthy but also help you get rid of makeup easily. Essential oils are particularly effective against waterproof makeup as they can easily dissolve the wax within them quickly.

3 of 5
Sunscreens are an absolute necessity in all cases if you have to go out in the sun. While essentials oils such as sandalwood oil, lavender oil, and others can provide some protection as they have anti-inflammatory properties, they can never replace sunscreens. However, some sun damage such as black spots can easily be repaired by essential oils with continued usage.
Which among the following is the best cure for stretch marks?
4 of 5
Coconut oil has multiple properties such as being antifungal, antibacterial, anti-microbial as well as anti-inflammatory and thus is one of the most sought after and prized essential oils. Stretch marks primarily appear on the top layer or the epidermis of the skin. It is best to apply coconut oil during pregnancy so that the stretch marks don?t appear in the first place. Applying coconut oil regularly over pre-existing stretch marks can actually help in reducing them as well.
If you generally tend to have oily skin, face oils could be a good remedy
5 of 5
If you have the tendency to wash your face frequently then the sebaceous glands, which produces the natural skin oil tend to go into an overactive mode to balance it's loss in the first place. This starts a vicious cycle wherein the more you wash the oilier your face becomes. However, essential oils such as kumkuma di tailam and other oils can cause the sebum oil production to cease and thus instead lessen your skin problems.
