Aromatherapy Tips and Recipes

Skin Conditioning and Rejuvenation
4 drops lavender essential oil
2 drops ylang-ylang essential oil
1 drop palmarosa essential oil
1 drop geranium essential oil

Use 8 drops of desired mixture per bath, less if you have sensitive skin. To disperse the oils more thoroughly in the water, mix them with one tablespoon of vodka or vinegar before dropping them in the bath.

Soothing Massage Oil
5 drops palmarosa Essential Oil
5 drops eucalyptus Essential Oil
5 drops peppermint Essential Oil
Grapeseed 15 ml

Blend essential oils listed above with Grapeseed Oil. Mix well.

Aromatic Facial Oil
3 tablespoons jojoba oil
3 tablespoons rose hips seed oil (or 3 tbsp. hazelnut oil for oily skin)
2 drops rose essential oil
3 drops lavender essential oil
2 drops geranium essential oil
2 drops palmarosa essential oil

In a glass bowl or dish, combine oils with essential oils. Stir with a clean pop sickle stick or plastic utensil to combine. Pour into a clean bottle, preferably one with a medicine dropper so you can apply the oil using the dropper. After cleansing and toning, and while skin remains a bit damp, apply a bit of the moisturizer using gentle patting motions. Do not rub the oil into the skin. Rather, just gently pat it onto the skin and it will absorb readily within a few minutes.
