Calendula for Skin Hydration, Firmness, and Healing

Calendula not only boosts skin hydration but also improves firmness. Research suggests that ointments and creams containing calendula are highly effective in healing wounds and soothing skin irritations. Its natural anti-inflammatory properties accelerate wound recovery, while sulfur derivatives in the flower can help dry out acne.

What You Need

• 10–15 calendula petals

• 100 ml olive oil or almond oil

How to Make Calendula Oil

1. Dry the calendula petals in the sun.

2. Fill a clean jar up to 75% with the dried petals.

3. Pour in olive oil or almond oil until the petals are fully submerged.

4. Seal the jar tightly and place it in a warm spot.

5. Shake gently every few days for 2–3 weeks.

6. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve to separate the oil from the petals.

How to Use

• Apply the infused oil directly as a moisturizer.

• Use it as a soothing massage oil.

• Apply to acne-prone or irritated areas to calm inflammation and promote healing.
