Understanding your skin type will help you to choose essential oils that will best suit your complexion.
Skin types usually fall into the following categories:
Dry Skin: feels taut after cleansing, is prone to fine lines
Oily Skin: shiny, is prone to enlarged pores, and may develop problems such as blackheads and spots
Problem Skin: is often identified as oily and prone to enlarged pores, blackheads, spots and acne
Sensitive Skin: is prone to extreme stress and reacts with contact to specific allergens to become inflamed, irritated and reddish
Dehydrated Skin: not to be confused with dry skin, this skin type has a dry, dull and flaky appearance
Mature Skin: shows signs of fine lines, wrinkles, sagging and often looks dull and sallow
Plant-based products are excellent choice for all skin types which help to soothe problem conditions and enhance the natural beauty of your skin.
Essential oils can be used in all types of skin products: cleansers, toners, scrubs, masks, moisturizers and serums. You can buy aromatherapy products and check the label to see whether it contains essential oils that match your skin type, or you can make and blend your own skincare products. You can try these:
Cleanser For Dry Skin – mix two parts aloe gel, one part jojoba oil a couple of drops of chamomile oil
Toner For Oily Skin – a couple of drops of tea tree oil onto a damp cotton wool pad
Moisturizer For Mature Skin – add a couple of drops of frankincense and rose oils to a small bottle of moisturizing cream.
These are very simple ways in which you can enhance your skincare regimen with the use of essential oils.
