Do you use an oil to help tackle inflammation?
For me, I use a variety of products to help w/ inflammation, but I love to seal in a routine with an oil that is calming & soothing

Here’s a quick skincare cheat sheet with some common oils, extracts & EOs that have anti-inflammatory benefits.

**Please note that this is NOT a complete list. There are certainly other oils that have anti-inflammatory benefits that aren’t Included because of space constraints.**

I thought I would create an infographic about some oil ingredients that are said to (and I would agree with based on my experience) help heal the skin and reduce inflammation.

Also, here are some facial oils that I’ve tried that have some of these ingredients and have worked for me in terms of reducing inflammation and helping my skin feel healthy and nourished.
