Resort to Aromatherapy, this alternative treatment method is the most natural and raw method of treating your skin. It uses pure essential oils that are extracted from plants, vegetables, herbs and fruits. These essential oils have several properties for improving the quality of your skin. It is the most natural way of healing, protecting and moisturising.
Aromatherapy oils are free of chemicals and do not have any harmful side effects. Though some of the oils are a bit expensive it is worth the money spent. The results may not be instant like the cosmetic products but the effects are long lasting. Results usually show after a regular use of 3 to 4 weeks. So, you got to be patient when you go this natural way.
Aromatherapy is an ancient way of healing, it had lost its importance but over a period it has gained popularity. Here are some aromatherapy preparations that can be used for improving the condition of your skin.
Day Massage Oil -
Add 3 drops each of Lavender, bergamot and sandal to 1 table spoon of light carrier oil like, sweet almond, calendula, carrot seed, wheatgerm or sunflower. Remove excess oil after massaging. This nourishing oil is excellent for skin and moisturizes dry skin.
Night Massage Oil -
Add 2 drops of Geranium, Rosemary, Lavender and Patchouli to 1 table spoon of carrier oil like,sweet almond, calendula, carrot seed, wheatgerm or sunflower and massage it well into the skin. Dab off excess oil.
Incase you have an oily or sensitive skin then these essential oils can be added to a water based gel instead of the carrier oil. Aromatherapy also has solution for pimples, boils and zits. Just dab neat tea tree oil on the pimple and it will dissappear within a day. Check for sensitivity before you apply directly on the pimple. If tea tree doesnt suit your skin then you may try lavender. Do not mix these oils with any other oil, apply directly on the pimple.
