The Benefits of Peppermint for the Skin

You would think that peppermint would have no benefits for the skin but you would be wrong in thinking so.  

1. It can relieve itchiness on inflamed skin
2. It has anti-microbial and anti-bacterial properties that may help clean abrasions on the skin
3. It has a soothing and calming effect on the skin and can reduce inflammation
4. It is widely used to treat oily and greasy skin
5. It is astringent and closes pores and tightens up the skin.

I will be introducing shortly facial oil cleansers and one of the varieties will have peppermint in it.   Watch this space
