The universal qualities of these gifts of nature ensure the natural restoration of the skin thanks to cell regeneration, replenish moisture loss, reduce the signs of aging, increase the firmness and elasticity of the epidermal layer. Aromatherapy helps reduce wrinkles and age spots, even out skin color, and improve its texture.
Unlike most chemical compounds, essential oil molecules are small enough to be easily absorbed into the layers of the epidermis. They are soluble in the lipid layer and penetrate into the dermis, where new cells are formed.
