The skin around the eyes is fragile and benefits from light and moisturizing treatments. Chamomile (Matricaria recutita) and Rose (Rosa spp.) essential oils are anti-inflammatory and restorative for this delicate area.



You will need:

• 5 drops Chamomile essential oil
• 5 drops Rose essential oil
• 1 ounce Jojoba oil

Combine essential oils with Jojoba oil and store in a one-ounce glass bottle with a dropper top.

To use the oil, cleanse your face and leave your skin slightly damp. Apply 2 drops of the oil to your ring finger (you’ll apply less pressure with this finger than with your index finger), and with a gentle tapping motion, smooth the oil beneath your eye and onto the area just beneath the brow bone.

Do not apply oil directly to your eyelids, as it can migrate into your eyes and cause irritation.

You will need :

• 6 drops grapefruit
• 5 drops lavender
• 3 drops tangerine
• 1 drop ylang ylang

Combine 15 drops of your essential oil blend with one ounce of vodka in a glass bottle and shake well. Ideally, allow your perfume to sit in a cool, dark place for a couple of weeks before using it, which allows time for the essential oils to meld together and results in a rich, complex blend. For ease of application, store your perfume in a small glass bottle with an atomizer top.

If you prefer an oil-based perfume, you can add 15 to 30 drops of your essential oil blend to one ounce of jojoba oil in a glass bottle and shake well. An oil-based perfume can be used immediately. Apply a drop or two to pulse points at your wrists and neck.

Create an all natural body scrub scented with exotic oils of Rose and Frankincense! Body scrubs are easy to make and can be adapted to include your favorite scents and ingredients. Whip up a batch within minutes and your skin will thank you!

Salt is an excellent body scrub; almonds and honey help to moisturize while smoothing skin.

• 1⁄2 cup finely ground almonds
• 1⁄2 cup sea salt
• 2 tablespoons almond oil
• 2 tablespoons liquid honey
• 5 drops frankincense essential oil
• 5 drops rose essential oil

Mix all ingredients together in a small unbreakable container. Wet your body in a warm shower, and apply the scrub to your legs, arms and torso. Massage into your skin with a circular motion, rinse well and pat your skin dry. The oil in this body scrub makes the tub slippery, so use a rubber tub mat to prevent falls.

This easy recipe makes a rich hand cream:

• 3 tablespoons jojoba oil
• 1 tablespoon mango butter
• 1 tablespoon grated beeswax
• 1/4 cup rosewater (or filtered water)
• 10 drops lavender essential oil
• 5 drops sweet orange essential oil

Warm jojoba oil, mango butter and beeswax gently over low heat until beeswax melts. Remove from heat. Warm rosewater over low heat. Remove from heat. When both mixtures are lukewarm, slowly pour liquid into oil, beating steadily with a wire whisk or an electric beater set on the lowest speed until cool, thick and smooth. Stir in essential oils. Spoon cream into a clean jar and let cool before covering.

Lip balm is truly one of the easiest and most inexpensive products to create. Once that you have created your own homemade lip balm, you will never want to purchase commercially made lip balm again!

This recipe will fill 8-9 lip balm tubes

• 1 Tablespoon Cocoa Butter
• 2 Tablespoons Sweet Almond Oil
• 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
• 1 Tablespoon & 1 teaspoon Beeswax
• 5-10 drops Peppermint essential oil

Coarsely chop or grate beeswax (vegans may use Carnauba or Candelilla Wax as an alternative). Place wax, butter, and oil in a double boiler, and melt gently over low-medium heat. Once that the beeswax/oil mixture has melted, remove from burner, and add essential oils. Immediately pour the mixture into lip balm containers. Allow to cool completely before placing the caps onto your lip balm containers.
