I believe everyone is familiar with essential oil. So, what is the difference between essential oil and essence? Let’s take a look at it together.

What are the functions and effects of essential oils

Essential oil can effectively replenish skin oil and relieve skin from dehydration, dryness and dullness. It can also soften the skin, improve rough skin texture, make the skin softer and softer, delay skin aging, repair damaged cells, and speed up the blood circulation in the skin.

Is essential oil suitable for oily skin?

Essential oils are not suitable for oily skin due to their high oil content. Oily essence is the most concentrated one. It can not only replenish water but also replenish oil. It is suitable for people with damaged skin barrier to regulate the water and oil balance. Essential oil can penetrate deep into the dermis, repair dry cells and rejuvenate the skin. When choosing an essential oil, you should not blindly pursue a thick feeling. In fact, some essential oils will add unnecessary thickeners to create a viscous feeling, which not only affects absorption but also increases the burden on the skin. When choosing an oily moisturizing essence, you should also consider its spreadability and skin absorption.

How to use essential oil

It can be used alone in any step of the skin care process, or mixed with lotions, creams, essences and other products to improve the moisturizing and water-locking properties of these products. When girls with dry skin apply makeup in autumn and winter, add 1-2 drops to the foundation and mix evenly. The makeup will be smooth, refreshing and not greasy.
