3 Benefits of Peppermint Oil For Skin

If you’re as passionate about skincare as we are then I’m sure you’re always looking for the best ingredients to aid in getting that perfect glow! With there being thousands of ingredients out there it can be challenging to know which ones are the most beneficial. Well, there’s one ingredient that seems to not be talked about enough – peppermint oil.  

Peppermint oil is an essential oil that has an array of benefits and uses. From being antibacterial to controlling oil production, its unique properties are what sets it apart from other essential oils.   

What is Peppermint Oil?  

Peppermint oil is an herbal extract from the leaves of the peppermint plant. It is a hybrid mint, a cross between watermint and spearmint. It originally came from Europe and the Middle East until it became more popular in other regions like North America and Asia.  

What Are The Benefits of Peppermint Oil For Your Face?  

#1: Antimicrobial

Peppermint Oil has many different antimicrobial properties that assist in battling acne-prone skin. Its components help to naturally unclog pores, control oil production, and thoroughly cleanse the skin. With this in mind, Peppermint Oil is a phenomenal ingredient to give your epidermis the most ideal environment to thrive in. Since Manuka Honey has these same properties, by incorporating these ingredients you’ll be on your way to combatting acne. Our Peppermint Face Mask is the perfect product for drawing out these impurities.  

#2: Soothing Benefits  

When dealing with either acne or sun exposure your skin is more likely to become inflamed or irritated. Because Peppermint Oil has such a high concentration of menthol it works wonders for soothing the skin. Our Honeyskin Peppermint Cream is a combination of Peppermint Oil, Manuka Honey, and Aloe Vera which all have soothing benefits to restore even the most irritated skin.    

#3: Healing Benefits  

Just like it has soothing benefits it also assists in healing the skin. Its healing properties can relieve and reduce the effects of sunburnt skin. Not only sunburnt skin but sunburnt lips and even wind-chapped lips! If you want to heal your lips you can use our Honeyskin Peppermint Lip Scrub.
