Cypress

Cypress (Cupressus sempervirens) is an evergreen tree native to the Mediterranean region, known for its tall, slender appearance and aromatic qualities. Throughout history, it has been valued for its medicinal and therapeutic properties. Cypress essential oil is rich in compounds like alpha-pinene and carene, which offer strong antiseptic, astringent, and anti-inflammatory properties.

In skincare, it helps to tighten and tone the skin, reduce the appearance of pores, and improve circulation. Its calming effects make it effective in treating acne and reducing redness and puffiness. Cypress oil can be diluted with a carrier oil, such as jojoba or almond oil, and applied to the skin to enhance its benefits.
