Our skin can age as we grow old, but others experience this at a much earlier age. This is due to oxidation and exposure to ultraviolet rays. The good thing is nature has its way to heal us through natural essential oils.

Here are the top 10 essential oils that help your skin from aging fast.

1. Sandalwood

Sandalwood is one of the best oils to prevent skin from aging. It helps tighten your skin and reduce sagging, especially on the cheeks and around your eyes.

You can blend sandalwood oil with pomegranate oil and use it as a serum for your skincare routine. Its sweet smell makes it an ideal oil for aromatherapy as well.

2. Frankincense

As you age, your skin slowly loses its regenerating process. However, frankincense helps in reversing that and aids in the growth of newer skin cells. This helps reduce lines and wrinkles on your skin. Its anti-inflammatory components also aid in healing any scars on your skin.

3. Rose

Many skincare products have rose oil because it helps maintain and increase collagen in your skin, increasing its elasticity and preventing the skin from sagging. Plus, it improves blood flow, giving it a pinkish, healthier glow.

4. Clary Sage

Clary sage can do wonders in your tired and stressed face, especially those around your eyes. You can use this oil as a night eye serum, and you’ll see the difference when you use it religiously.

This is because clary sage helps in rejuvenating your skin, especially your pores. It de-puffs your eyes, giving you a more relaxed look.

5. Carrot Seed

We all know how carrots are packed with Vitamin A. This gives you a healthy boost of protection from harmful rays when you go out. Simply mix carrot seed oil with your choice of carrier oil and apply it on your screen before going out.

6. Ylang Ylang

Ylang Ylang is another essential oil rich in collagen, and we all know how it makes the skin more elastic, resulting in tighter skin. Its flowery scent makes it suitable for aromatherapy. And if you want this oil to seep into your pores, you can drop 7-10 drops of this oil, boil it, and use it as a facial steam.

7. Helichrysum

If you’re noticing some lines, wrinkles, and even scars on your face, helichrysum should be your go-to oil. It has antioxidants that reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and other blemishes on your face.

It also has healing properties, so you can use it to reduce any marks and scars on your face and even on other parts of your body.

8. Geranium

Just like helichrysum, geranium is full of antioxidants that keep your skin healthy and fights free radicals. But what’s great about this oil is it can treat skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, and dermatitis.

9. Myrrh
