Cypress Essential Oil

Cypress essential oil improves the appearance of oily skin. It can also improve the appearance of unsightly veins. Aromatically, cypress has a woody scent that can relax and calm the mind. Diffuse, apply in 2-5% dilution, or mix a few drops into a spray bottle with water.

"Distilled from the leaves, twigs, bark, and cones of the cypress tree (Cupressus sempervirens), grown mainly in southern France, cypress essential oil is woodsy and refreshing. Because it is highly astringent (cleans the skin and constricts the pores) and invigorating, I use it in toners for oily, greasy skin. Cypress oil is also said to be useful in minimizing the appearance of cellulite, though I have not found much evidence to support this claim. It is also believed to help relieve some vascular conditions, such as varicose veins." (Making Aromatherapy Creams & Lotions by Donna Maria, p. 24)
