Spring is the season of new beginnings. Fresh buds blossom and animals come out of hibernation to reawaken to a world of abundance. As blooming flowers fill the outdoors, they infuse the air with their distinct aromas.

Essential oils give a plant its signature fragrance and also protect it from environmental dangers. They are compounds that can be extracted from a plant’s roots, seeds, flowers, or bark. These oils are produced through steam or water distillation and can also be made through cold pressing.

When blended into skin care products, essential oils offer a host of benefits straight from nature’s pharmacy that can enhance your complexion.

Essential oils are extremely powerful and must be applied safely for skin care. For reference, it takes 75 lemons to make 15 mL of lemon oil, 27 square feet of lavender plants to make 15 mL of lavender oil, and a pound of raw peppermint to make 15 mL of peppermint oil.

Remember not to use essential oils directly on your skin, as they are highly concentrated and can cause adverse reactions. You should dilute essential oils with a carrier oil, such as coconut oil, before using them topically.

To incorporate essential oils safely into your natural skin care routine, use JK7®’s blended formulas that are handmade under expert guidance and tested for pharmaceutical-grade benefits and safety.

Read on to learn more about six of nature’s best essential oils for glowing skin this spring.

Extracted by steam distillation, Chamomile oil is loaded with anti-inflammatory properties, helping to reduce puffiness and cleanse your pores. Bisabolol, which is the primary component of chamomile oil, is a wonderful anti-aging ingredient that helps fade and soften fine lines and wrinkles. The substance has the ability to inhibit the enzymes in skin that can break down collagen, and at the same time, stimulate collagen production.

Chamomile oil has a rich yet delicate fragrance reminiscent of apples.

The effective formulation of German Chamomile essential oil combined with Arnica, Eyebright, and Rose helps to calm, tighten, and nourish the delicate skin around your eyes and combat puffiness and dryness in this JK7® Eye Cream.

Herbal proteins, mucopolysaccharides, and vitamins, as well as the powerful JK7® Signature Extracts, nourish and act as strong antioxidants against the premature aging of your skin.

2. Rose oil

The oil is renowned for its skin rejuvenating properties, helping to fade the appearance of scars, stretch marks, and wrinkles, as well as nourishing dry skin.

The various fatty acids in rosehip oil make it an excellent option for hydrating dry, itchy skin. The skin also easily absorbs this oil, allowing its antioxidants to penetrate deep into the skin’s layers.

The light-yet-powerful JK7® Day Face Lotion contains precious oils from the Vanilla Planifolia Fruit and rich Moroccan Rose – an excellent source of linoleic fatty acids, which have antiseptic and astringent properties.
