Lavender, Chamomile, Rosemary, and Myrrh are a few different oils that can be great for skin care.

10. Antibiotic

 Myrrh, and Thyme have been proven to help combating many antibiotic-resistant bacteria, but with anything that is antibiotic make sure you read instructions and warnings.

 

 

 

As with any benefit there are some downside I need to mention because it is important, because there is so many different types of essential oils you always have to do your research for the one you want to do. Be sure to read warnings and instructions, and never apply an essential oil to the skin or into a bath without diluting it properly, and don't ingest unless that essential oil has been specifically cleared for oral use.
