Neroli (Orange Blossom) essential oil is one of the most expensive of all oils, which makes its hydrosol an affordable alternative. It smells wonderful! Neroli hydrosol is an antibacterial and anti-fungal astringent that makes a wonderful treatment for sensitive, delicate, or oily skin to reduce irritation and clear acne. It is such a good astringent that one should avoid use directly on very dry skin, or use it in combination with lavender, rose, or geranium. Use it after exercising to cool down and relax, close pores without clogging them, relieve sweaty skin, and prevent breakouts or athlete's foot.
Neroli's calming properties make it an important anti-stress agent. It is the hydrosol of choice to quell hysterics in children, babies, and adults.
