I have found essential oils to be an excellent addition to my anti-aging, clear skin regimen. It is so easy to mix up a dropper bottle of the top skin care oils with a carrier oil and apply every evening (and morning when in drier climates). I've also put together some ideas of amazing smelling combos to mix into a sugar or salt scrub. Recipes are listed below.
Sasha's Glowing Skin Blend (email me for appropriate ratios)
Frankincense, Lavender, Geranium, Melaleuca and jojoba oil
Basic Sugar Scrub recipe:
1 cup sugar
¼ – ½ cup melted coconut oil or carrier oil
4 + drops of essential oils
mix together and store in an airtight glass jar
Essential Oil Sugar Scrub Recipe Ideas:
Coconut Lime – (use real coconut oil and lime essential oil) to promote well-being and ease anxiety.
Lime is anti-bacterial, antiseptic, anti-aging, astringent, antioxidant, exfoliant. It may be beneficial in dissolving cellulite and soothing broken capillaries. Lime blends well with clary sage, lavender, neroil, and ylang-ylang oils.
Orange and Peppermint to uplift energy and mood.
Orange essential oils anti-inflammatory, antidepressant, antispasmodic, antiseptic, and aphrodisiac. Orange promotes the production of collagen as well as increases the blood flow to the skin. It is helpful at soothing dry, irritated skin as well as acne-prone skin. It is excellent for rubbing on calluses on the feet.
Peppermint helps control oil production, nourishes dull skin, and improves the texture of oily skin.
Lavender and Lemon to help depression and uplift mood
Lavender essential oil is one of the most beneficial oils in the treatment of acne because it inhibits the bacteria that cause the initial infection, helps to regulate some of the over-excretion of sebum by hormonal manipulation, and can reduce the signs of scarring after the acne has begun to heal. Lavender is anti-bacterial and can help fade age spots. Lemon essential oil is antiseptic, antifungal, antioxidant, antiviral, astringent and invigorating. It can benefit skin by reducing acne, nourishing damaged skin and hydrating skin.
Rosemary and Grapefruit for uplifting the mind and increasing focus.
Rosemary has antimicrobrial and antispetic qualities that may help eliminate eczema, dermatitis, oily skin, and acne. Helps in toning your skin, removing dryness and can also give your skin a healthy, even glow. It is anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anticancer. May also help decrease cellulite and fluid retention. Grapefruit oil can be an excellent tool to help eliminate cellulite by helping flush out the toxins and free radicals that create cellulite. It is rich in vitamin C and antioxidants to help slow signs of aging, fight dark spots, fine lines and wrinkles. Grapefruit can help eliminate excessive oiliness, dryness and blemishes.
Frankincense and Geranium for peace, well-being and centeredness.
Frankincense is my favorite all around oil! For skin, frankincense promotes healthy cell regeneration, it is astringent, and can be a potent tool against aging, eliminating sun spots, removing wrinkles, toning, tightening, healing scars and eliminating germs.
Geranium essential oil is also a top oil for skin.
