Antioxidant-Rich Properties

Lime essential oil is packed with antioxidants and nutrients like vitamin C that are highly beneficial for skin health. The antioxidants help protect the skin from free radical damage caused by environmental stressors such as UV rays from the sun, pollution, and other environmental toxins. They also help reduce inflammation and fight signs of aging like wrinkles, dark spots, and dryness.

Anti-Bacterial Properties

The antibacterial properties found in lime essential oil can help keep your skin clean and clear by reducing bacteria that can cause breakouts or acne. It’s also great for treating existing acne because it can help reduce swelling and redness while cleansing the pores of any dirt or debris that may be causing irritation.
 
Moisturizing Properties

Lime essential oil is incredibly hydrating due to its vitamin C content. Vitamin C helps promote collagen production which increases elasticity in the skin and improves texture overall. Additionally, it helps lock in moisture so your skin stays soft and supple all day long without feeling greasy or oily.  

Mind

As with all essential oils we do not recommend using Lime during pregnancy.
