Face and Skin Care
Organic essential oils have healing properties that can aid exfoliation – the process of removing dead skin cells from the outer layer of your skin. Further, they encourage cell regeneration, can act as anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, & anti-bacterial agents.
This is all the more important because our skin is the largest tissue organ of our bodies, separating us from the outer environment, nature and elements, It is little wonder, therefore, that this skin system will be the victim of abbraisons, inflammations, cuts and wounds.
Its best to use a cleanser on your face before applying the serum/toner blend. Cleanser should be suitable for your skin type (oily, dry or normal).
In blending for skin care, 10ml of the carrier oil (aloe vera, jojoba, fractionated coconut) should be mixed with atleast 1ml (20 drops) of essential oils blend. Mix the ingredients in a small bottle and your serum is ready to use.
