Can you use aromatherapy oils for your skin/face?

This is the product description: This blend is already pre-diluted and ready for aromatherapy use. The ingredients are pure oils.

Based on the information you have provided it difficult to make an informed decision, as there is no information re the oils in the blend or the percentage make up. – but one of the basics rules of aromatherapy is that essential oils sometimes referred to as aromatherapy oils is that they must be diluted to be applied to the skin.

In saying that making your own massage oil\body oil can be a wonderful way of using essential oils, to moisturise and protect your skin in a similar way to a body lotion.

If you are looking to make your own massage\body oil you may find this information of assistance

When making your oil you will need -
· A bottle to make and store your completed oil
· Carrier oil or oils
· Essential oil or oils

Your bottle should ideally be made of glass. You can have a plain cap or some people like to use a pump top for ease in dispensing.

When choosing your carrier oils bear in mind the properties of the oils and your skin type (or the skin type of the person you are making it for). To start with I usually recommend using a plain grapeseed or sweet almond oil. As you experiment you may like to use a combination of vegetables and infused oils to enrich your basic oil blend.

When choosing your essential oils, consider the effect you want the oil to have and when you intend to use it. Are you planning on a light fresh aroma to use as a body oil after your morning shower? An invigorating oil to massage into muscles before or after sport?

To make your oil blend, take your bottle and place in it up to 4 drops of essential oil for every 10ml of carrier oil you will be using. So in a 50ml bottle use up to 20 drops in total of essential oil, in a 100ml bottle use up to 40 drops. For a massage oil for children or anyone whose health is frail or who has sensitive skin, halve this number. Remember you can use 2 or 3 different essential oils in your blend but the total number of drops should together not exceed that stated.
Top up your bottle with your chosen carrier oil to the shoulder – this is the part where the bottle just begins to narrow. Put on the cap and shake gently or tip the bottle back and forth to mix the oils together.

And don’t forget to label your creation! Information to note includes the date, the name of the person the oil is for and the purpose of the oil, together with the ingredients. This way you can easily reproduce your blend.

Some recipes to get you started -

End of the Day De-stress Massage\Body Oil
100ml Sweet Almond Oil
15 drops Lavender Essential Oil
5 drops Sandalwood Essential Oil
20 drops Bergamot Essential Oil

Wake Me Up Body Oil
100ml Grapeseed Oil
20 drops Grapefruit Essential Oil
10 drops Petitgrain Essential Oil
5 drops Spearmint Essential Oil

Acne

Many adolescents experience acne due to the massive increase in hormone production, which often leads to an overproduction of sebum, or naturally produced oils in the skin that cause blockages in the skins sebaceous glands. Top this with the fact that most teenagers eat a poor diet which is usually nutrient deficient, and take too many fizzy drinks and in some cases too much alcohol. Is it any wonder that the body protests!
