If you are interested in using essential oils to make your own DIY beauty recipes, keep these handy to whip up what you need, when you need it.
Lavender Essential Oil
is one of the most popular oil to be used in beauty products for both its fragrance and benefits. This calming essential oil help damaged or irritated skin. While some essential oils are good for certain skin types, lavender generally works well with all skin types regardless of how oily or dry the person’s skin.
Rosemary is a great cleansing agent, used to strip away product and other toxins from the skin that build up over time. Sometimes these chemicals that we have been using on our skin cause long term problems and we didn’t even realize it. Rosemary Essential Oil is great in toners, hair cleansers, night creams and facial washes that you can use on a daily basis.
Lemon Essential Oil might not strike you as a common addition to beauty recipes because it is a citrus, but you will only be using a drop or two for an entire recipe. Lemon is a great clarifying ingredient, cleaning out pores, adding shine and evening out skin complexion from the sun and other impurities. You can use lemon essential oil in skin, lip and hair beauty recipes with great results, and the scent is incredible.
Peppermint Essential Oil is a great calming oil for the skin and scalp, and because of how strong it is you really do not need a lot in each recipe. Use this oil in recipes that are used for inflammation, puffy eyes, irritated skin that needs calming, any damaged skin and skin that is oily or has clogged pores.
Rose Oil is generally used as a toner ingredient, and to help those dealing with acne or stress prone skin. Dry skin sufferers can also use rose essential oil to help increase the moisture of their skin.
