For normal, oily, dry, aging skin, acne, after exposure to the sun, sun burn, and cellulite.
As I promised, here are recipes for blends of essential oils for the bath for the purpose of skin care. In the recipes there is also a list of essential oils for each skin type. The essential oils need to be added to 1- 2 tablespoons of emulsifier; such as vegetable oil, milk, cream, buttermilk, or honey. The positive effects on the skin will skyrocket. You will also find emulsifier recommendations for the basics. Before bathing, I recommend you read the article, “AROMATHERAPY APPLICATION METHODS’ GUIDE”. It contains basic information on the rules of application methods of aromatherapy, including baths with essential oils. To select a suitable oil base, see ““IMPORTANCE OF CARRIER OILS“. Remember, essential oil of citrus: bergamot, lemon, orange, tangerine, etc. are phototoxic. Phototoxicity is a reaction caused when essential oils on the skin are exposed to UV light – whether from the sun or from a tanning bed. It is best to avoid exposure for 12 -24 hours after a massage.
