Patchouli essential oil is well known for its wealth of benefits and variety of applications There are plenty of recipes that you can use to good effect in order to create some positive results for your skin. You might even end up looking younger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Patchouli essential oil can also be harnessed to get rid of those ugly scars or pregnancy-related stretch marks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On top of all the various health benefits, patchouli essential oil can effectively treat and even prevent a diverse range of skin issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As it is simple and quick to use, the suggested skin care applications for patchouli have benefits with varying lifespans. So effective can patchouli be for skin though, that it may make its way out of the niche and into the now. Here’s why a list of 8 cool and interesting ways in which the versatile patchouli could be beneficial for your daily skincare routine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.     Suits Most Skin Types<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Patchouli<\/a> essential oil is perfectly good to use for most skin types as a daily ointment or lotion to apply to the face or other sensitive areas of exposed skin. It really doesn\u2019t matter whether your skin is oily, dry or indeed combination, you could see the benefits of using patchouli after just a couple of uses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dry skin can be moistened, whilst excessively moist skin can be monitored for problematic sebum production, discussed in the next example. There are so many hours wasted and amounts of money frittered away as people look to find a skincare routine that suits their skin type, with a scattergun, trial and error process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is totally unnecessary though, as a natural agent like patchouli could provide the one size fits all effects that skincare fanatics seek. Build patchouli into your daily skincare routine if you\u2019re a human being. It\u2019s that simple.

2. Balances Sebum<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As mentioned a little earlier, patchouli essential oil can help monitor and balance the production of sebum<\/a>, making it great for oily skin or mixed complexions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.

3. Treats Dry Skin<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Patchouli essential oil can also be highly effective when it comes to alleviating the symptoms of dry chapped skin. The oil moisturizes and makes the skin more supple, less vulnerable to cracks and drying out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dermatitis in every far-flung each of the human body can be addressed with patchouli, whilst sores or even eczema <\/a>can all be treated just the same. Dry skin is most usually a problem for people in the wintertime, with skin succumbing to harsh conditions and drying up like a prune. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The use of patchouli can serve to alleviate some of this dryness, but for extra dry and chapped skin, mixing patchouli with commercially available lotions and topical ointments could be the safest bet to ensure success in treatment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Patchouli is no substitute for proper hydration, and a non-dehydrated person won\u2019t suffer from dry skin nearly as much as a person craving drink, but patchouli can give you a moisturizing leg up until you find a water fountain.

4. Anti Aging<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Patchouli is a very good anti-age oil, given that it prevents the apparition of wrinkles<\/a> and crow\u2019s feet. Other signs of aging, such as the sagging skin or the muscles loosening up are abated with the application of patchouli as it helps the skin hold moisture better and allows it to be stretched more easily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Essentially, patchouli guards people against the effects of aging with its clever little ingredients and components. Until they invent the time machine, the best you can do in terms of rolling back the clock is to apply patchouli liberally as part of a daily skincare regime. It may take a little time before you’re rolling back the years and feeling fifteen again but bear with it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slow and steady wins the race. No one wants to feel old, and one sure-fire way to guard against this feeling is to stay as young as possible for as long as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

5. Heals Wounds<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The hydrating <\/a>properties of patchouli essential-have long been harnessed in the application of beauty treatments but its skin healing properties are less widely understood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the additional moisture afforded to the skin, patchouli essential oil can bring about healing much faster than normal. The aesthetic charm that everyone seeks from beauty treatments like patchouli can be described as presenting a youthful glow and a beautiful appearance, but when it comes to healing wounds there can be no time to waste. Burns can be treated with the anointment of lotions, whilst cuts and bruises may be hurried along the road to healing too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Obviously, patchouli is the main ingredient in ensuring this happens as smoothly and safely as possible. Cuts, burns, and bruises don’t trouble everyone, with some people suffering not even a little bit of discomfort, but for those that want to heal things a little quicker, the natural agent patchouli can speed things up nicely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

6. Hides Scars<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Patchouli acts as a mask and a soothing healer when it comes to scars<\/a>, helping them fade away naturally, but very effective. Any noticeable marks on the skin, including those caused by pox, acne or even stretch marks can be treated with topical application of patchouli, but it is perhaps applied best as a massage oil. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many people don\u2019t mind at all about their scars, and that is to be admired, applauded even, but the majority of people would much rather an option was available to them which allowed them to show off smoother younger-looking skin. If you have a bad scar or even a series of bad scars, it might be worth applying patchouli to the affected area for up to three weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A top tip would be on how scarred people can compare symptoms over the course of the week by taking regular photographs and ensuring that any changes are noted down.

7. Acne Treatment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A glowing and youthful skin quality, that a person might label as radiant and youthful, is completely achievable with the use of patchouli, even if someone has suffered from acne <\/a>breakouts in the past. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When applied twice daily, patchouli interrupts the development and spread of acne pimples, whilst working double-time to hide any evidence of scarring. Improvements in hydration can also help in the fight against acne, as improved hydration leads to many other benefits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sebum producers go into overdrive when an acne breakout is due, failing to unblock the pores properly before unloading another batch of sebum onto the face, shoulders, and back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Acne is no fun whatsoever for the person affected and the prevalence or frequency of spots, whichever is greatest, can cause a person’s mental health and psychological state to be threatened as well. It won\u2019t cure acne, but patchouli could offer relief in terms of fighting inflammation and decreasing the visibility of the spots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

8. Cellulite<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The enemy of beach-going women everywhere, cellulite <\/a>could be under attack the moment patchouli comes into contact with it. In a similar way to how patchouli hides and repairs scar tissue and scars from injuries, cellulite is attacked, leaving smoother, less rumpled skin behind in its place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Patchouli won\u2019t get rid of cellulite altogether, nor does it claim that it will, but its remarkable ability to improve the appearance of skin wounds, abrasions and scars means that it could be the difference between flaunting it at the seaside, or covering up like you do every year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just one in a list of 8 possible skin applications of patchouli, but a useful one nevertheless. It is perhaps a shame that society seeks only to hide scars, as opposed to celebrating them, but the most natural way of achieving this disguise could ironically be managed by the most natural agent, patchouli essential oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
