Essential oils work well in various beauty remedies. They are very therapeutic and can be used for aromatherapy.
Most people underestimate the power of essential oils and their uses. Essential oils are not only very therapeutic but also good for various beauty remedies. Many often use them when teaching aromatherapy meditation business, but they can also be used in a variety of beauty potions.
The most important thing is that all essential oils require a carrier oil and that means you can use a heavy oil to massage the essential oils into your skin as they cannot be used directly. Coconut, almond, sesame, castor, and even rice bran oils can be used as carrier oils. Let’s start with some basic skin problems and how to address them with essential oils.
Tea tree oil for pimples and acne: Take about 2 drops of tea tree oil and mix it with 1 teaspoon of Fuller’s Earth (Multani Mitti) and some spring water. Make a smooth paste and apply it on acne and pimples on the face. This oil naturally kills bacteria that lead to pimples.
Rose hip oil for rejuvenating dull skin: To do this, take 2 teaspoons of almond oil and add 2 drops of rose hip oil and massage it into the skin for the most amazing and rejuvenated skin to be seen in no time. This only wakes up the skin as it contains vitamin C and lycopene.
Jasmine Oil For Stretch Mark Fading: If you suffer from stretch marks and sagging skin that has lost its elasticity, massage your skin with a mixture of coconut oil and jasmine oil. Take about 50 ml of pure coconut oil and mix these 5 drops of jasmine oil. The stretch marks will fade with regular use.
Ylang-ylang oil to care for and combat hair loss: If you have damaged or dried out hair that is thinning and needs maintenance, then I recommend massaging your hair with castor oil to which you have added 4-5 drops of ylang-ylang oil. This also helps the hair grow and thicken the hair. It is also known to protect hair from salt water and chlorine.
Most people are scared of starting their journey with aromatic oils, but once you get started you can’t go wrong. There are many poor quality essential oils on the market. So be careful when buying them for home wraps and scrubs. The good quality ones may be a little more expensive, but it’s better to buy pure essential oils that you would eventually use on your face and hair.
