You want to take care of your anti-ageing wellness, but all those scientifically crafted products can seem a bit scary. Who knows what chemicals you’re slathering all over your face in an effort to look younger? Instead, why not try something a bit more natural and specially crafted for your skin and wellbeing?
Blending your own essential oils is a far more natural and effective way to keep your skin looking young. Not only are essential oils known for their ability to reduce the signs of ageing and keep skin healthy and fresh, but, by blending your own, you know exactly what has gone in the product before you cover your skin with it. The way to do it is that you blend 20ml of a carrier oil, such as almond or grapeseed oil, with 10 drops of an essential oil. However, which essential oil is up to you, so lets take a look at the top essential oils for facial use on any skin type.
Firstly, juniper oil is a great choice because it can be used in a number of different ways and is an effective facial skin tonic. Users derive this oil by distilling the needles, wood and fruit of the juniper tree with steam. Juniper oil works by tightening your skin and killing bacteria. This means that, as an added bonus, the oil can help to prevent infection if you suffer from acne. Likewise, rosemary has mild antiseptic properties that can prevent infection, but it’s also beneficial, when blended into an essential oil, for rejuvenating mature skin by improving your circulation.
While frankincense may be better known as a Christmas present for Godly babies, it’s also well-documented for its anti-ageing properties. The ancient Egyptians first used this essential oil as a cosmetic, but it has been popular ever since, as it works to prevent and reduce your wrinkles. Frankincense also smoothes and refines the appearance of the skin, and promotes the growth of new skin cells. Finally, you may know lavender for its calming properties, or because it’s used to help people with insomnia, but lavender oil can also be used to treat eczema and acne, as well as insect bites and stings.
