The leaves and blooms of lilacs are steam-distilled to extract the essential oil. It smells like fresh flowers and is a light purple colour. The yield of essential oil extracted from leaves and flowers ranges from 0.8 to 3.5%.

Benefit: Because lilacs are naturally astringent, they tighten the skin and minimise pores and wrinkles. I adore using them in anti-wrinkle creams and toners. They are perfect for acne since they are naturally antibacterial and antifungal. To relieve acne, mix this oil with an aloe vera lotion, an acne mask, or an acne toner. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
