Make your Own Facial Cream with Essential Oils
There are lots of essential oils that are nourishing to the skin, but here’s a favorite recipe, especially for dry, sun-exposed skin, and for those of us trying to avoid or reduce wrinkles. Mix and match ingredients depending on what you have—here are some ideas:
Mix four ounces of unscented lotion base with:
- One teaspoon Tamanu Oil or Rosehip Seed Oil (a few drops of Sea Buckthorn Berry would also be nice)
- 20-30 drops of Lavender Essential Oil, Carrot Seed Essential Oil, Frankincense and/or (if you really want to splurge) Rose Otto. You can use single oils, or mix several together, to equal the total.
Mix well, and apply to face and neck with light upward strokes twice a day. This lotion is free of harmful ingredients and synthetic fragrances and keeps your skin healthy and glowing.
