2. Balances Sebum
As mentioned a little earlier, patchouli essential oil can help monitor and balance the production of sebum, making it great for oily skin or mixed complexions.
Sebum production is natural and not usually harmful, however, when sebum producers kick into overdrive, it can be hard for the face to keep up with the accelerated need to clear the pores, resulting in blockages and infections.
A complete lack of sebum is unhealthy, but so is too much sebum, meaning that the management of sebum levels on the skin is as much of a balancing act as you’re going to face. When it comes to picking a side, sometimes sitting on the fence can be the best option.
One thing is undeniable though, and that’s the fact that sebum production can be effectively managed with a little help from patchouli essential oil. This is just another reason as to why it should be in your natural box of tricks.
