Benefits of Healing Organic Lemongrass Oil for Skin Care - Organic Lemongrass, or Melissa herb, is easily recognized by its tall fronds of leaves and strong lemon-citrusy scent and is indigenous to Sri Lanka and India. Applying this healing botanical to the skin can help alleviate common skin disorders and problems, such as bacterial infections and even large pores. In addition, organic lemongrass is even used an excellent mosquito repellent.
Inherent anti-microbial and anti-bacterial properties give organic Lemongrass the ability to discourage bacterial or microbial growth on the skin. The essential oil reduces the occurrence of skin infections as well as alleviates skin irritations, like folliculitis and cellulitis, that are caused by bacterial infections. Lemongrass oil is also fungicidal, as it clears fungus infections on the skin.
This healing essential oil from nature's bounty has been gifted with unique antifungal, antimicrobial, antibacterial /antiseptic chemical qualities that allow it to also be a very effective astringent. Facial skin toners, cleansers and soaps containing organic lemongrass oil do a great job of firming and tightening the skin. When used as an astringent/toner, this lively-scented oil is very effective in minimizing skin pores, while it forms a protective barrier for the skin that guards it against daily free radical exposure.
Astringent herbs and oils constrict the skin, contract pores, provide skin-firming, limit the secretions of oil in the skin and help to clear and fight the recurrence of acne. Astringents/ facial toners are meant to cleanse, stimulate and remove excess oil from the skin, leaving it feeling toned and fresh. Organic Lemongrass essential oil makes an excellent, healing addition to toners and soaps, due to its natural astringent and antiseptic qualities.
This lemony-scented, invigorating organic essential oil is also well-known for its aroma-therapeutic qualities that calm and relieve stress. Managing stress is very important in healing the skin and body as a whole. Stress is a large contributor to decreased effectiveness of the immune system and to risk of disease.
Adding organic lemongrass to your daily skin care regimen or bath is fairly simple and enjoyable way to increase the healing properties in your daily skin care. Simply add a few drops of the essential oil daily to your favorite organic facial or body moisturizer, facial toner, foaming cleanser or bath gel and apply or use the product as you normally would. Its fragrance is especially nice and rejuvenating to use in your morning shower or after-shower body care. The essential oil's anti-biotic, anti-fungal and toning qualities will soon be evident in the health and smoothness of the skin.
