Aromatherapy For Skin

Aromatherapy is a form of treatment that makes use of essential oils and other plant extracts. Essential oils have the ability to heal various skin conditions and improve the overall texture of skin and are therefore gaining importance in skin care as well as other related fields. Generally, these oils are used in a diluted form made by adding a few drops of the desired oil to one’s regular cream or body lotion. They may also be added to jojoba oil as jojoba tends to suit every skin type. Storing the jojoba blend in an airtight bottle, in the refrigerator, is recommended to keep in from becoming stale. A capsule of vitamin E oil or a few drops of wheat germ oil may be added to the combination to enhance its benefits and prevent it from going rancid. A few drops of these oils may also be added to warm water and used for a final rinse after a bath as well. It is recommended to use this oil during the night for an added effect.
