The Pleasures of Safe Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy Guide Image

·        5 drops geranium

·        1 quart boiling water

 

PREPARATION:

As soon as the water boils, remove it from the heat so that it’s just simmering. Holding your face over the water take a towel and drape it over your head. Tuck the ends around the pan so that you are in a small tent. Close your eyes while you’re steaming as the essential oils are too strong for your eyes.  Steam for a few minutes, back away and take some breaths of fresh air, then return to the steam.  Keep doing this for a maximum of ten minutes. If your skin is delicate, do it for a shorter duration.

 

Exfolliant

·        1 tablespoon ground oats, (finely ground)

·        1 teaspoon warm honey

·        1 drop carrot seed oil

·        1-2 drops aloe vera or herbal tea

 

PREPARATION:

Mix the oats, honey, and aloe vera until it makes a fine paste. Add the carrot seed oil and stir again. Smooth the mixture over your face evenly, but avoid the eye and mouth areas. Keep it on for anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes. It will dry and you should rinse it off as soon as it gets uncomfortable, using warm water.

 

Cleanser for Dry Skin

·        8 drops sandalwood

·        4 drops rosemary

·        ˝ teaspoon grapefruit seed extract

·        2 ounces aloe gel

·        1 teaspoon glycerin

·        1 teaspoon vegetable oil (calendula is a good one)

PREPARATION:

Blend all together and shake each time you use it. Apply with cotton balls, then rinse.
