What is Eucalyptus Oil for skin Care?

Derived from the Eucalyptus Globulus by steam distillation method, this blue-greyish colored oil is rich in anti-bacterial, anti-oxidative, and anti-inflammatory benefits for the skin. Found in Australia from the Eucalyptus tree with ovular leaves, it has a woody and sweet aroma. This aroma also comes in handy in relieving muscle tension, among many other benefits.

How Does Eucalyptus Oil Benefit Your Hair?

When discussing the benefits of Eucalyptus oil, there are so many, as the oil has various nourishing properties which make the hair healthy, strong, and lustrous. Let us look at some of the benefits:

• Stimulates hair growth: Eucalyptus oil can help to stimulate hair growth by increasing blood circulation to the hair follicles. Improved blood flow nourishes the hair follicles, which, in turn, helps promote healthy hair growth.

• Lessens hair loss: The oil is packed with nutrients and rich in antioxidants, which helps reduce hair breakage and fall. It can also protect the hair from external environmental factors and harmful UV rays. This helps to promote healthy hair.       
• Reduces bacterial infection: Say goodbye to bacterial infections with Eucalyptus essential oil. The anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties help reduce bacterial infections that can cause dandruff. Additionally, mixed with hair oil can soothe an itchy, irritated scalp. 
• Promotes healthy hair: Get naturally healthy and shiny hair when you use products with eucalyptus oil as an ingredient. It removes build-up on the scalp naturally and cleanses your hair to give them a clean and healthy look. 

Eucalyptus oil is a powerhouse of nutrients that can reduce hair loss. In addition, massaging pure eucalyptus oil mixed with your hair oil or hair booster oils can strengthen hair follicles, promoting better hair growth.
