Benefits of Eucalyptus-Infused Personal Care Products

Can Treat Dry Skin
Using eucalyptus might improve dry skin by improving its level of ceramide. Leaf extract of topical eucalyptus has been found to uplift water-holding capacity, produce skin ceramide, and protect the skin barrier. Ceramides are a form of fatty acid in your skin. It is responsible for retaining its moisture and barrier. Those who experience dandruff, dry skin, or skin disorders like psoriasis and dermatitis usually have lower ceramide levels. A compound called macrocarpal A in ceramides appears to ignite ceramide production.

Can Reduce Inflammation
Eucalyptus can reduce swelling and inflammation by suppressing the immune response that forces tissue to become inflamed. Skin inflammatory conditions such as seborrheic acne, dermatitis, and eczema – can massively benefit from the calming anti-inflammatory benefits of eucalyptus for the skin.
If you are experiencing severe or mild acne, using eucalyptus leaf or eucalyptus essential oil can also help reduce swelling and redness. A study also supports the effectiveness of eucalyptus in the treatment of acne, itchiness, and scalp redness.
