Essential oils are used for therapeutic benefits, beauty benefits, and aromatherapy benefits. In skincare, essential oils can be an ideal replacement for synthetic fragrances and artificial ingredients. 

Here are 6 essential oils that are great for skincare, their benefits, and how to use them safely. 

1. Tea Tree Oil is widely known as one of the best essential oils for the skin. Tea tree oil has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties and may help reduce acne breakouts. It also has antifungal and antiviral effects, so it can help with skin issues such as warts, athlete's foot and nail fungus. When using tea tree essential oil, make sure it is diluted because the undiluted variety can burn and irritate the skin when applied directly.
2. Mandarin Peel oil is gentle on the skin that can reduce the appearance of pigmentation from stretch marks, scarring, and acne. It also has astringent properties that help with toning skin and smoothing pores.
3. Ylang-ylang flower essential oil has an exotic sweet smell and a euphoric, sedative effect on the nervous system, providing relief from tension and stress. It can also help with sebum balance for overly dry and overly oil complexions. 
4. Bergamot Fruit Oil has antiseptic and antibacterial properties while also being able to regulate sebum secretion. It has been known to even out skin tone and promote wound healing. Since this is a citrus oil, it's important to be careful of sun exposure after using this oil. 
5. May Chang Peel Oil is known for helping address oily skin and breakouts with its astringent, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties. It's also known for its deep-cleansing and pore-reducing effects and doesn't irritate or dry out the skin.
6. Jasmine Oil has antimicrobial and antibacterial properties. It can help with skin appearance and when used for a long period of time it may help lighten dark spots. It helps lock moisture in the skin and can be used on the scalp to hydrate dry areas and reduce dandruff.
