Best Essential Oils for Glowing Summer Skin
Unlock naturally radiant skin this summer with essential oils that nourish, soothe, and rejuvenate from the inside out. Used for thousands of years across ancient Egypt, China, India, Greece, and Rome, essential oils remain a trusted solution for beauty and wellness. Today, these potent plant extracts are widely recognized as natural alternatives to synthetic skincare products, especially when it comes to achieving glowing, healthy-looking skin.[1]
At Edens Garden, our Face Love essential oil blend was meticulously formulated to support vibrant, youthful skin. Not only does this powerhouse blend work wonders on your complexion, but it also offers mood-boosting aromatherapy benefits to elevate your confidence and calm you from within, helping you shine both inside and out.
Whether you’re using it in a facial steam, as part of your morning skincare routine, or blended into a carrier oil, Face Love is an all-purpose essential oil blend designed to nourish every skin type, even sensitive or acne-prone skin.
What Is the Best Essential Oil for Glowing Skin?
When it comes to achieving a radiant glow, no single essential oil can do it all. That’s why Face Love combines multiple high-performance oils that synergize for maximum results. The best essential oils for glowing skin often come from floral plants and resin-producing trees, both revered for their skin-rejuvenating properties.
These essential oils contain powerful antioxidants, anti-inflammatories, and antimicrobial compounds that:
-
Reduce acne and blemishes
-
Soothe redness and irritation
-
Minimize dark spots and hyperpigmentation
-
Improve skin tone and elasticity
-
Encourage collagen production
-
Promote cell regeneration
Let’s explore the skin-loving stars in our Face Love blend.
Key Essential Oils in Face Love Blend for Radiant Skin
Clary Sage (Salvia sclarea)
Clary Sage oil is antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, making it ideal for calming irritated skin, healing minor wounds, and regulating sebum production.[2] It hydrates without clogging pores and may help tone facial muscles and reduce redness or rashes.
Neroli (Citrus aurantium)
This floral powerhouse doesn’t just smell divine, it fights acne, reduces inflammation, and relieves stress. Neroli oil is packed with antioxidants that neutralize free radicals, one of the primary causes of skin aging.
Geranium- Egyptian (Pelargonium graveolens)
Geranium oil supports cell regeneration, reduces blemishes, and may even stimulate collagen production. Its antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties help heal acne, calm redness, and promote smoother skin.
Rose Absolute (Rosa centifolia)
A prized ingredient in Ayurvedic beauty, Rose Absolute is a natural emollient with cooling, astringent properties.[3] It tones, balances, and brightens the skin while helping to fade imperfections and reduce puffiness.
Additional Essential Oils That Support Summer Complexion
Frankincense (Boswellia carterii)
Known as the "King of Oils" for skin, Frankincense promotes cellular repair, reduces scarring, and firms skin. It’s also a potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant that shields against environmental damage.
Copaiba (Copaifera langsdorffii)
This resin-based oil is rich in beta-caryophyllene, an anti-inflammatory compound that supports wound healing, soothes irritation, and even promotes tissue regeneration.[4]
Cedarwood- Atlas (Cedrus atlantica)
Cedarwood oil tones and purifies the skin with antiseptic, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory qualities, making it ideal for combination or acne-prone skin.
Lemon (Citrus limon)
Our steam-distilled Lemon oil is non-phototoxic, meaning it's safe for daytime use. It gently detoxifies, clarifies pores, reduces oily shine, and helps even out skin tone.
Can You Use Essential Oils on Your Face?
Absolutely! Essential oils can be a game-changer for your skincare routine, but they must always be diluted before applying to the face. Due to their high potency, dilute essential oils to a maximum 1% concentration for facial use, or 6 drops per ounce of carrier oil.
Patch Test First
Always perform a patch test:
- Dilute the essential oil in a carrier oil.
- Apply a small amount to the inner arm.
- Wait 24 hours. If no redness or irritation occurs, it's safe to use.
Which Essential Oils Should You Avoid on Your Face?
Some essential oils are too harsh or phototoxic for facial use. Avoid:
- Hot oils: Cinnamon Bark, Clove, Nutmeg, Oregano
- Irritants: Peppermint, Camphor-rich oils
- Cold-pressed citrus oils: Unless specified as non-phototoxic
Stick with skin-safe oils like those in Face Love, especially when paired with nourishing carrier oils.
