Why Bergamot Oil is Essential for Healthy Skin

bergamot oil
By Charlene Bollinger February 2, 2022

Extracted from the fruit of a small tree, this sweet-smelling oil is great for toning, cleansing and gently antiseptic. It soothes skin irritations, minimizes the look of scars and other marks on the skin, and also helps even out skin tone by influencing melanin production.

Also known as citrus aurantium bergamia, bergamot oil comes from the peel of the bergamot fruit. Widely grown in Lombardy, Italy, this exotic fruit is actually a type of orange, just with a more lemon-y yellow rind. 

Packed with flavonoids that soothe and calm skin, bergamot essential oil is perfect for nourishing a tired complexion. Not to mention, the lively citrus scent is divine. It’s hard not to fall in love with the intoxicating aroma the moment you smell it.

There are plenty of essential oil enthusiasts who place bergamot oil in their top choices for aromatherapy, as a flavoring in their favorite drink or a key ingredient in their skincare blend. We know it can be hard to pick a favorite, but bergamot oil can give you a lot of reasons to include it in your daily skincare routine. 

But bergamot’s calming scent isn’t the only thing the ingredient is lauded for: It’s got antibacterial and astringent properties, which means it can be used to unclog pores and balance sebum levels. It also works as an anti-inflammatory, which means pimples don’t stand a chance against it. Bergamot can even be effective to spot treat blemishes, acne, and painful cysts and pimples due to its analgesic qualities.

Bergamot can also help revitalize your skin, reducing the signs of premature aging and keeping you looking youthful and vibrant. Packed full of antioxidants, bergamot oil is the ultimate ingredient to keep free radicals (the number one culprit of premature skin aging) at bay.

If you want to heal your skin and reduce the appearance of unsightly blemishes, bergamot oil may be the right choice for you. Whether it’s acne, scars, blemishes or pigmentation, bergamot oil tones and soothes your complexion so you can look and feel your best.

Worried about clogged pores and toxins? Thanks to its antibacterial properties, bergamot oil is a natural cleanser. It’s particularly good for oily skin, helping to unclog pores and balance sebum levels. Environmental toxins can prematurely age your skin. They may contribute to wrinkles, age spots, and uneven color. But bergamot oil can help purge these toxins, helping your skin stay healthy. 

Do you suffer from puffy, inflamed skin? Fear not! In 2012, a study published in the Journal Of Essential Oil Research examined the biological properties, and the cosmetic and medical uses of bergamot oil. In vitro studies concluded that bergamot oil showed significant anti-inflammatory activity. The authors believe this may be related to the presence of citropten and bergapten in the oil. 

The same study provides evidence that bergamot oil shows activity against several Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria as well as fungi and yeasts. It appears that flavonoid extracts of C. bergamia peel possess a strong antimicrobial activity on numerous bacteria and yeasts and this indicates that bergamot oil can potentially be used as a topical treatment for dermatophytosis (fungal infection).

The benefits of bergamot oil on your skin are impeccable, which is why we made sure to include it in the CHARLÍS Nourishing Anti-Aging Toner. This amazing toner hydrates, nourishes, and balances the pH of your skin to reveal softer, smoother skin fully prepped for skincare. Other superstar ingredients include:

ORGANIC ALOE BARBADENSIS LEAF JUICE: Aloe Barbadensis is another word for Aloe Vera. Aside from being a staple in your mother’s medicine cabinet for sunburned skin, this amazing plant has been used by different civilizations for centuries for a range of skin care, health, and medicinal purposes. It’s a great moisturizer and also helps wound healing and skin regeneration in general.

ALPINE ROSE: Grown on the slopes of the Alps, Alpine Rose (aka Rhododendron) eliminates senescent skin cells, increases skin elasticity, nourishes skin stem cells, and helps reduce and repair damage caused by environmental stressors like UV radiation. Alpine Rose really sets itself apart by its ability to stimulate collagen production. Collagen makes up the foundation of your skin and is responsible for giving you a smooth, youthful complexion.

BUDDLEJA DAVIDII EXTRACT: Commonly called the “butterfly bush,” this fragrant flowering plant has proven a valuable skin care ingredient due to its anti-aging benefits. The fast-growing shrub is shown to help protect skin from photo damage, oxidative stress, and UV radiation.

ORGANIC CITRUS AURANTIUM DULCIS OIL: The essential oil from the rind of the orange, this oil has demonstrated antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, skin lightening, and anti-microbial properties and can be beneficial in skin care formulations. Hesperidin has also been shown to offer skin protection against UVA-induced damage of fibroblasts and collagen.
