Balances the skin

Geranium essential oil balances the skin and is good for all skin types. It helps improve circulation, aids recovery time from bruises, calms eczema and prevents chill blains.

It is great for treating dermatitis as it has anti-inflammatory properties. It is also good for tightening loose skin and preventing skin from sagging. It is often found in beauty products for mature skin for this reason.

Geranium essential oil has an enlivening effect on the circulatory system and reduces odema and cellulite by assisting the lymphatic system to work more effectively.

It also helps eliminate toxins from the kidneys and liver and may also help people with addictions.
