Aromatherapy Skin Care: Creating Personalized Products
Aromatherapy has long been known to help aid in healing, regenerating skin cells or even relaxing the body. Creating your own personal aromatherapy skin care, can be a healthy alternative to many products on the market today. In addition, it is designed specifically for your body.
What Oils Can Be Used In Aromatherapy Skin Care
When looking into aromatherapy skin care, it is important to discover the basic oils that are used and their properties. Learning about the benefits of each oil, can determine which should be used in creating an aromatherapy skin care line that will enhance and improve your own skin. If acne is an issue, Lavender, Tea Tree and Cajeput are essential oils that can be used to help with this condition. Add a few drops to rosewater and create your own toner. Purchase a fragrance and lanolin free cream and then add a few drops of the essential oil. This makes a lotion that can be massaged into the skin; if the skin is inflamed however, do not massage.ÂÂ
An aromatherapy skin care line can also use Frankincense, Neroli and Rose oil to help with aging skin. If you’re attempting to get rid of blackheads try these oils Eucalyptus and Lavender in a facial steam. Bruising is a common problem that can be helped with Lavender. This extremely versatile oil can be used to help bruising by adding it to a bath; or, putting the Lavender on a cotton ball and dabbing the bruised area.ÂÂ
When creating an aromatherapy skin care line, consider how often dry skin can be a problem. Rose, Sandalwood and of course, Lavender are oils that will reduce the affects of dry skin. Again, the best way to use these oils is by placing them in a lotion that is lanolin and fragrance free, and then massage it into the dry skin. This will help rejuvenate your skin, making it softer. For many women varicose veins are a problem. Use Cyprus or Myrrh oil in a bath, soak for about 15 minutes. These can also be used in lotion form; they work best on spider type varicose veins.
There are many other oils that can be used in an aromatherapy skin care line. Many, like Lavender, are used for multiple conditions with very good results. Some can be used in conjunction to form a relaxing bath that can help with insomnia or nervousness. Aromatherapy skin care is a wonderful personnel gift for friends and family too. Aromatherapy is a proven method to assist the body in a natural way.
