Benefits:
- Antioxidant effects: The oil contains antioxidants that can help neutralize free radicals, which are unstable molecules that can cause damage to the skin and contribute to premature aging. Thyme oil may assist in protecting the skin against environmental stressors and promoting a more youthful appearance
- Astringent properties: Thyme oil has a natural astringent effect, which means it may help tighten and tone the skin by reducing the appearance of enlarged pores. This can contribute to a smoother complexion.

Oil control: Thyme oil is believed to have properties that can help regulate sebum production, making it potentially useful for individuals with oily or combination skin types.
NOTE: Remember, it is crucial to dilute raw thyme oil with a carrier oil, such as jojoba oil or coconut oil, before applying it to the skin. Conduct a patch test on a small area of skin to check for any adverse reactions, and discontinue use if you experience any irritation or discomfort. It's always a good idea to consult with a dermatologist or skincare professional before incorporating new products into your skincare routine.
