The skin is the largest organ of our body. After being scraped, cut, burned, or scratched, it can easily and fairly quick heal itself. Essential oils can help restore your skin. Never use synthetic oils and oils extracted by chemical solvents. Oils with solvents contain toxic residues harmful to your skin and body. Before using the oils, wash your skin thoroughly, then massage a portion on your skin. Apply this daily to get the best result. Keep your mix in a dark glass bottle, you can use it for several weeks. Undiluted essential oils can be used for many years, depending on the oil.
A carrier oil, (olive oil, hazelnut oil, jojoba, sesame…..) should ALWAYS be used to mix your essential oils. Never apply the oils directly on your skin.

Oily skin is the result of the overproduction of sebum from sebaceous glands. These glands are located under the skin’s surface. Sebum is an oily substance made of fats. Sebum isn’t all bad since it helps protect and moisturize your skin and keep your hair shiny and healthy. Too much sebum, however, may lead to oily skin, which can lead to clogged pores and acne. Genetics, hormone changes, or even stress may increase sebum production. Oily skin and acne are challenging to manage. Still, essential oils often reduce symptoms without the use of prescription drugs or expensive skin care products.
