ESSENTIAL OILS FOR YOUR SKIN


                                                Hello Gorgeous😊


A lot of us love essential oils because of their irresistible beauty benefits and alluring pleasant fragrance. But how do we make sure we get the best out of these alluring oils?
How do we minimize the side effects of these beauty oils?
 It’s not every time that a natural product is always safe, for example essential oils can cause skin irritation if you have allergies or a sensitive skin. Also, if a certain skincare product works well on your friend`s skin type it doesn’t mean that it will work well on you. 
Most of us here have tried a lot of different skin care products which worked well on others but terribly on us.


Therefore, before using any essential oil please follow these tips;

  • Make it a point that you dilute your essential oil with a carrier oil like almond, olive, avocado, coconut or jojoba before soothing it on your skin. According to Wikipedia.
  • Make sure you do a patch test inside your elbow joint before soothing it on your face so that you will at least have an idea if it won’t cause any irritation or inflammation.
  • Eye area, lips and mucous membrane, broken, damaged and irritated skin area should be avoided while soothing your favorite essential oil
  • In case of any irritation, please discontinue use
  • Avoid soothing essential oils before going to the sun, the reason being, some essential oils are photo-toxic.
  • It is vital to educate yourself on which essential oils to use when you are pregnant or while nursing. According to Wikipedia, this can be done by seeking guidance from a certified aromatherapist.
