I want to make a natural night oil for my face. Which essential oils should I use?

They don’t mention your age or any specific skin problems, so I’ll outline a few options you might consider depending on what you’re looking to achieve with the facial oil recipe. First, make sure you have the right base oil for your needs.

Jojoba oil is one of the best choices as it is very stable and beneficial for all skin types – dry, oily, or sensitive. Avocado oil is rich in nutrients and deeply moisturizing and soothing – ideal for dry skin, climate-damaged skin and mature skin.

Macadamia oil is a very nourishing oil for mature skin and is very compatible with the sebum that we naturally produce. Rose hip oil is good for tissue regeneration, whether it’s fine lines and wrinkles or burns and scars.

For normal skin types, the beneficial essential oils include neroli (orange blossom), rose, palmarosa, sandalwood, ylang ylang, lavender, rose geranium and German chamomile. For oily skin, try bergamot, cedarwood, clary sage, lemon, palmarosa, juniper, and tea tree.

Dry skin types should choose oils such as German and Roman chamomile, rose geranium, jasmine, neroli, rose, palmarosa, and rosewood. To combat redness, try German chamomile, lavender, neroli, rose, and sandalwood.

If you are making an anti-aging night oil, there is no avoiding carrot seed oil, German or Roman chamomile, frankincense, Ewig, rose, palmarosa, sandalwood and myrrh. If your skin is particularly sensitive, stick with chamomile, rose, and sandalwood and only use 0.1-0.5% essential oil in your supplement. For other skin types, it is usually safe to add essential oils at a concentration of 0.5-1%.

My husband will be retiring next year. But instead of looking ahead, he looks back, often with regret. Although popular at work, he was never promoted. I read that honeysuckle is a good remedy for people living in the past. What do you think?

Retirement can be difficult enough as it is, especially when your career is an integral part of your identity. Mastering this transition while feeling like you haven’t achieved everything you hoped for is certainly an additional challenge for this phase of life.

Honeysuckle is one of the Bach flower remedies, which are energetic remedies that work by balancing negative feelings and helping the individual take control of their thoughts. It is estimated that we have an average of 40-50,000 thoughts a day, with only 10% of those thoughts being new. If about 90% of these thoughts are habitual, daily brooding, then it is important to take control of where our minds go to guide our wellbeing.

Honeysuckle is indeed the Bach remedy I would suggest to your husband. Indications for this remedy include excessive attachment to past memories and living in a state of nostalgia, be it a place of regret or happiness.

When a person keeps bringing the conversation back to happier or better times, or expressing a longing to start over or relive events, honeysuckle remedies are often prescribed. It is believed that this remedy will help you appreciate life in the present and familiarize yourself with the potential and uncertainty in the future.

If your man is open to uncovering the cause of his feelings in this way and creating new mental paths and thoughts, then maybe he will appreciate a copy of the book Clean up your mental mess by Dr. Caroline sheet. Backed by clinical research and illustrated with compelling case studies, this book outlines a scientifically proven five-step plan to find and eliminate the root of intrusive thoughts in your life so you can experience dramatically improved mental and physical health.
