Calendula Oil for Skin

An extract created from marigold flowers, calendula oil has a number of skin and hair benefits. This oil has long been known as a traditional remedy for certain skin and hair conditions thanks to its anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, and antifungal properties. All of these properties allow it to speed up wound healing, treat itching or inflamed skin, and improve the overall appearance of your skin.

You can use calendula oil as a treatment for acne or to discourage blemishes from appearing on your skin. It may be effective as a spot treatment or blended into your favorite body wash or scrub to gently cleanse the skin and fight the bacteria that causes acne. Calendula can also be used to effectively speed up wound healing or encourage relief from conditions such as psoriasis or eczema thanks to its anti-inflammatory and anti-fungal properties; these properties allow it to soothe itching or dry skin.

Blend a few drops of calendula oil into a carrier oil and massage it into your skin regularly to encourage overall health or treat certain skin conditions. You can add a few drops into a face wash or a lotion to promote clear skin, or simply dilute the oil into a carrier oil and leave it on as a spot treatment anywhere you have a blemish or patch of itchy, inflamed skin.
