The essential oil of sage, given its expectorant properties, can be used to make fumigations. It also boasts deodorant, seboregulatory, astringent and healing properties. It is often included in shampoos and lotions for oily hair. Tonics containing sage essential oil are also recommended for acne-prone, oily or impure skin. It is advisable to apply it diluted using a carrier oil, or by mixing a few drops with other formulations.
