Face Beauty Care: Naturally beautiful skin with essential oils
You can already find them in your everyday cosmetics and you might even realise that they are some of the key ingredients in your care cream of choice. Essential oils are a big hit nowadays: being highly-concentrated in actives, they just so happen to be a key item in the pursuit of beauty!
- • Universally renowned, Geranium oil appeals to all skin types and works against wrinkles, acne, burns and cuts. Its sweet rosy and fruity fragrance puts it right up there in the ranks of essential oils which are ideal for your beauty regime.
- • Tea Tree, True Lavender (an antiseptic and healing oil) and Lemon Eucalyptus (an anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory) are three complementary oils which help you finally rid yourself of nasty spots. They deliver a deep cleanse for your skin and help remove blackheads.
- • Lavender is a general multi-purpose oil which dispels the signs of fatigue keeping you looking fresh and beautiful!
Body Beauty: What essential oils are best?
With tonifying, relaxing and draining properties, essential oils are ideal for your mind, body and soul!
- • Roman Camomile oil is excellent if you are looking for soothing and moisturising properties. It is recommended for irritable and dry skin types. When mixed with a support oil, a body milk or lotion, its essence absorbs into the skin and, as such, is perfect for use as a massage oil to help you relax.
- • Need a solution to get rid of cellulite lumps? Noble Laurel or Cypress oil are ideal as they are equipped with draining properties for your skin. These essential oils accelerate cellular exchange and refirm the skin tissue. When combined with sweet almond oil and applied using a massage, you can say goodbye to that unpleasant cellulite texture!
- • And for preventing or reducing the appearance of stretch marks, Helichrysum italicum and Myrrh are at the head of the game. They can be used either by themselves or together with Muscat Rose oil or Shea butter.
Getting lush, beautiful hair with essential oils
Excess sebum, hard water, a poor diet, stress or even fatigue can lead to your hair becoming dry, brittle or lifeless. Here's some of the tips we live by:
- • If your hair has become dull and lacklustre, try Ylang Ylang oil by adding 2 to 3 drops to your shampoo before washing your hair. As well as smelling amazing with its flowery and spicy fragrance, this essential oil gives a boost of radiance to your hair.
- • To get rid of excess sebum, add 3 to 4 drops of lemon, lavender or sage essential oil to your shampoo.
- • Lastly, if you hair is brittle, dry and damaged, you should try mixing in Santal oil, a highly nourishing vegetable oil containing avocado, coconut and castor.
