Essential Oils and Herbs in Natural Hair and Skin Care

Descriptions of, and uses for, a wide range of herbs and essential oils used in natural skin care.

Chervil

Anthriscus cerefolium



Chervil is related to the parsley group of plants and, like parsley, is widely used as a seasoning herb in cookery.

Chervil has a cleansing and slightly astringent effect on the skin, and the whole herb can be made into an infusion to be used as a skin toner. It is gentle and suitable for sensitive skin.

Make chervil toner fresh and use immediately – if it is to be kept for any length of time, add a few drops of preservative and keep refrigerated.
