List of Essential Oils That Are Good For Your Face/Bad For Your Face

[SteveWms]

Anyone know of a list of EOs that are good to use in aftershave and ones to avoid? Any that are known to cause irritation, complexion problems, etc? Any that are beneficial to your skin?

Thanks.

Here is a list I tracked down a while back:

It covers the two main factors that matter - comedogenecy (which is how clogging it is), and how irritating it is. One thing doesn't cover is astringency, which I have heard is what makes both lemon and tea tree oil good choices.

Thanks, much. I'll take a look.
