Palmarosa oil is distilled from the fresh or dried stems of this grass which grows wild in India and is cultivated in the Seychelles and Comoro Islands. Palmarosa is a great revitalising oil for any skin type. It restores water balance and stimulates the natural secretion of sebum and is therefore useful for dry skin. It also helps skin regrowth by aiding cell regeneration and so is helpful in reducing wrinkles. The Palmarosa oil is effective in acne and old acne scars and wrinkles caused by long exposure to the Sun. Due to its natural antiseptic constituent, it can be applied directly on boils. It also takes care of broken veins. Many use it for oily skin, blemishes and as a skin moisturiser. It is also reputed to have a tonic effect on the digestive and nervous systems.
Directions for Use
Essential oils are the highly concentrated active ingredients of plants. They should always be diluted in a base before use and should not be taken internally without professional recommendation.
Caring for Your Essential Oils
SOil essential oils and carrier oils are living products that are vulnerable to heat, moisture, air and light. It is best to store them in a cool, dark place with the lids well sealed. If your fridge is the only cool place around, allow the oils to reach a cool room temperature before use (around 20 degrees C).
