Lemongrass Oil for Skin
Natural lemongrass oil is well known for its antibacterial, antifungal, and antiseptic properties, and is often used to prevent and treat fungal infections of the skin. This oil stimulates the regeneration of skin cells and strengthens connective tissues. Lemongrass oil is often used as an active ingredient in cosmetic products for problem skin.
Lemongrass Oil for Body Care
As a natural deodorant, lemongrass oil is much more effective than many synthetic deodorants, which have a strong negative impact on the environment and a limited effect on excessive sweating. In a diluted form, lemongrass oil acts as an effective deodorant, without any side effects on the skin. Lemongrass oil normalises the function of the sweat glands, easily removes and deters unpleasant odours, prevents the development of bacteria, and is recommended for regulating excessive sweating of the feet.

Lemongrass oil is used as a mask for oily hair. It reduces the oiliness of the scalp, nourishes the hair and provides hair care from roots to ends.

Melissa Worrell –
It’s a great oil! I use a few drops in water in my humidifier for my headaches and it works wonders! Also it soothes when I have colds or sinus infections. I love the smell and I would highly recommend this oil, my air has never smelt this good!

Since I started using lemon grass oil, I have seen a massive improvement in the condition of my skin, my acne is less and pores are less visible, as well as no skin infections like before.

Can’t imagine my life without this oil))I use it diluted in other oils to massage my face, hands and feet to improve blood circulation. It helps to get rid of muscle pains and swollen ankles. And it smells great! Be careful, as it has a burning effect, do not use undiluted or too concentrated, especially on face or other sensitive areas.
