13. Stops Acne

Sandalwood oil is antiseptic and it can kill the germs that cause acne. Mix one drop of sandalwood essential oil into whatever skin care products you use to wash or moisturize your face. This works best for those with dry skin. If you already have oily skin, try dabbing some sandalwood oil directly on the zit itself to help it dry up and heal quickly.

 

14. Improves Meditation

If you find you are having a difficult time blocking out the world, burn some sandalwood incense,  put a few drops of sandalwood oil in a diffuser, or just rub a drop or two onto your chest to help you focus more easily. Concentrate on the beautiful, relaxing scent of sandalwood, and you will get in the zone much easier.
