Ylang ylang is a very rich, thick and nourishing oil that is useful for all skin types because it has a balancing action on the production and secretion of sebum. For those with oily skin who produce too much sebum, ylang ylang will help to reduce the production and therefore reduce the oily feeling on the skin. For those with dry skin, ylang ylang will do the opposite; it will stimulate the secretion of sebum helping to return the skin to being hydrated, silky, soft and smooth. Ylang ylang oil is antiseptic and anti-infectious and helps to fight infectious microbes on the skin as well as to cleanse and clean the skin. It is extremely sensual and uplifting yet also a strong sedative that cools emotions, calms the nerves and improves the mood; thereby combating stress and tension, sadness and grief. Ylang ylang is widely used in luxurious hair and skin products for its scent and nourishing and protective properties.
