Most people underestimate the power of essential oils and their uses. Not only are essential oils highly therapeutic, they are also good for several beauty remedies. I often use them when teaching aroma therapy meditation to corporates but they can be used in a variety of beauty potions too.
The most important thing to remember is that all essential oils require a carrier oil and that means that you can use a heavy oil to massage the essential oils into the skin as they cannot be used directly. Coconut, almond, sesame, castor and even rice bran oil can be used as carrier oils. Let’s start with some basic skin problems and how to tackle them with the use of essential oils.
1. To get rid of pimples and acne: Tea Tree Oil
Take about 2 drops of Tea Tee oil and mix it with 1tsp of Fuller’s Earth (multani mitti) and some spring water. Make a smooth paste and apply this on acne and pimples on the face. This oil naturally kills bacteria that leads to pimples.
2. To nourish and fight against hair thinning: Ylang Ylang Oil
If you have damaged or parched hair that is thinning and requires nourishment then I suggest that you massage your hair with castor oil to which you have added 4-5drops of Ylang Ylang oil. This also helps hair to grow and thicken hair. It is also known to protect the hair from salt water and chlorine. Read more
