no responses? :(

Come on people I need responses to carry out wit this threaad.... I guess I'll make a start by mentioneing a few beauty and skincare aromatherapy recipes...

Acne Blend

Ingredients:

   * 1 ounce light cold-pressed vegetable carrier oil (such as apricot kernel).
   * 10 drops lavender essential oil
   * 7 drops tea tree or New Zealand tea tree (Manuka) essential oil
   * 2 drops bergamot essential oil*
   * 1 drops geranium essential oil

or without bergamot:

   * 1 ounce light cold-pressed vegetable carrier oil (such as apricot kernel).
   * 12 drops lavender essential oil
   * 7 drops tea tree or New Zealand tea tree (Manuka) essential oil
   * 1 drops geranium essential oil

Special Precaution: *Avoid exposure to the sun for at least 12 hours after applying this oil since bergamot is a phototoxic oil. There is a special version of bergamot that you can get called "bergaptene free" that eliminates the phototoxic properties of the oil.

Directions: Pour the selected carrier oil into a very clean bottle (amber glass is best) and then add the essential oils and tightly close the bottle. Roll the bottle to gently mix the oils for a minute or two. Apply a small amount to the face, neck or back, but be certain to avoid the eyes, lips, nostrils and inside the ears. Gentle roll the bottle before each use to ensure the essential oils are properly mixed.

Dry Hand Lotion

Ingredients:

   * 8 oz. unscented lotion (many sellers of natural products and aromatherapy products sell unscented lotion, shower gel and shampoo)
   * 10 drops Patchouli
   * 20 drops Sandalwood
   * 5 drops Carrot Seed

Directions: The best way to blend the oils with the lotion is to pour the lotion into a bowl, add the oils and then mix very well. Once mixed, add the lotion back to the bottle. Patchouli, sandalwood and carrot seed oils help aid with dry skin. The patchouli and sandalwood oils have a lovely rich scent when blended together. The carrot seed oil is wonderful for the skin, but is a little harsh in aroma. Borage and Evening Primrose are wonderful carrier oils for helping the skin. If you have either of these oils or can afford to get a small quantity, add a little to your lotion for to give your skin even more nourishment. It is always wise to do a skin patch test first on new blends first before using often to ensure that you do not have a sensitivity to the blend.
