Chamomile Oil for Skin

Known to be incredibly gentle and soothing, chamomile essential oil holds a number of benefits for the skin. When applied topically, it can act as an analgesic and may help to reduce joint pain, muscle soreness, and skin irritations. It can calm down breakouts and work to reduce redness on the skin.

There are many ways you can use chamomile oil to treat your skin, the most popular way being to create a compress. Simply add a few drops of the oil onto a warm, wet washcloth and apply the compress to any area that has pain or inflammation.

You can also mix several drops of chamomile oil into your favorite body lotion or carrier oil and massage it into your skin’s problem areas or add it into a blend of massage oils for extra soothing and pain relief. Repeat your skin applications one to three times a day depending on the severity of the problem and how your skin tolerates the treatment.
