Benefits Of Using Cananga Oil
Cananga oil is known for its many benefits, including helping to fight against skin cancer and improving the appearance of the skin. Here are a few ways you can enjoy the benefits of using Cananga oil:
Use it as a natural face moisturizer
Cananga oil is an excellent moisturizer for dry skin, and it also helps to soothe and protect the skin from environmental damage. Simply apply a few drops to your face before bedtime and allow it to absorb into the skin overnight. You will wake up with softer, smoother skin.
Use it as a natural acne treatment
Not only does Cananga oil help fight against acne, but it also has anti-inflammatory properties that can help to reduce the severity and duration of breakouts. Add a few drops of Cananga oil to your skincare regimen every day before bedtime, and allow it to work its magic while you sleep. You will see an improvement in your complexion within days.
Use it as a natural hair conditioner
Cananga oil is a great conditioner for hair that is dry or damaged due to heat styling or other chemicals used in hair care products.
How To Use Cananga Essential Oil
Cananga essential oil is a powerful oil derived from the Cananga odorata tree. It has a sweet, woodsy, and slightly floral scent that is often used in aromatherapy to help relieve stress and anxiety. Cananga essential oil can also be used to improve mood and quality of sleep.
To use Cananga essential oil, it is best to dilute it before using it on the skin. For topical application, add 2-5 drops to your desired product or apply directly to the skin. For inhalation, add 10-15 drops to a tincture or diffuser.
Cananga essential oil is commonly used in blends for its multiple benefits and can be found in many health food stores and online retailers. It is also available as a standalone oil at most major pharmacies.

Well, it’s time for another installment of DIY! This time around, we’re going to be making a natural body wash.
