Sandalwood Oil for Skin

Derived from the wood of the sandalwood tree, sandalwood essential oil is well-known for its woody, earthy, and slightly creamy floral aroma. It has long since been a popular choice in perfumes for its scent but also offers a number of benefits when used in cosmetic products thanks to its skin-boosting properties.

Sandalwood essential oil is anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and antiviral. It is a prime choice for helping to clear up acne as it will soothe existing breakouts and work to remove the bacteria that cause blemishes. This oil also contains a number of potent antioxidants and nutrients that work to hydrate skin and reduce signs of aging so that your skin looks healthy, moisturized, and more youthful with consistent use.

To use sandalwood on your skin, mix several drops with a carrier oil or blend them into a body lotion. Use the mixture on your skin daily for the best results.
