Skin Health

For dry skin:

Combine carrot seed (20 drops), rose oil (as many drops as you can afford) and lavender (40 drops) into a base of jojoba or rosehip seed oil (1 ounce).
Can also blend them into a massage cream.

For oily skin:

Combine lavender (40 drops), geranium (20 drops), and sandalwood (10 drops) in one ounce of jojoba oil. If acne is present, add tea tree or palmarosa (10 drops).

20 drops of lavender

Face Cream

A simple cream base can be made by gently melting shea butter and adding sesame or sweet almond oil to it. A ratio of 1 part shea butter to 2 parts oil is a good start, and you can add another drop or two of oil if you would like the cream to be thinner. Remember the addition of essential oils will also thin the cream a bit.
Good essential oils for basic skin care are rose, rosewood, lavender, geranium, neroli, palmarosa, and vetiver. Those which might add an increased healing dimension are frankincense, myrrh, German and Roman chamomile, patchouli, Peru balsam, and of course, tea tree.
