The same way you can drink chamomile tea to relax, you can use chamomile oil to calm your skin. It soothes redness and irritation in a matter of seconds. "It has amazing anti-inflammatory properties that make it ideal for patients with rosacea," says Baumann.
Just be sure to dab some on your wrist and wear it for a day to make sure you don't have an allergic reaction, she says. And be especially careful with organic versions. Since organic ingredients are treated with fewer chemicals, they're often growing alongside weeds and other allergens, which means organic essential oils are more likely to have traces of those allergens than conventionally farmed varieties. The result? They're more likely to cause allergic reactions on the skin.

This was a very helpful "cheat sheet" for dissecting facial oils and their proposed benefits. Thanks!

I am loving oils as a way to cleanse and care for my skin and hair. When you think about it, it dates back to Biblical days!

I'm now obsessed! I use a mixture of oils for cleaning and put rose hip seed oil on 2-3x a day! I wish I had started years ago. It is natural and my skin has never felt/looked better!

Good article. Chamomile and olive oil are really good. I would love to try grapefruit oil.

I have tried most of these (esp. tea tree and grapeseed on my acne-prone skin) and they do work. I'm surprised maracuja oil was left out. I've used this for about two years. It's high in vit C, so many of my blotches and old acne marks have disappeared.
