geranium (egypt) essential oil

It is used to soothe dry skin, reduce cellulite through massage and even to help clear the complexions of those with naturally oily skin.

Geranium also improves the skin's elasticity and helps to balance the skin's sebum levels.

The popular and attractive Geranium plant can be found round most of Europe, however this variety is from one of the best sources in Egypt.
