Essential oil skincare recipes

Essential oil is a concentrated oil that is derived from some plants. It is done through a process called steam distillation or cold pressing. These oils are very beneficial for the skin and so are used in many skincare recipes. You must also know that these oils are highly concentrated and must be used with caution.

In almost all ways of skincare the essential oil will be used in a diluted form. You can’t use it directly on your skin. Also if you have sensitive skin then you must ask your dermatologist before using essential oil in your skincare routine.

Here we have some skincare recipes that you can use to take care of some of your skin problems. Also we have for you two anti-aging recipes that you can use to look younger than your age.

You need ¼ cup of witch hazel, ¼ cup of apple cider vinegar, 5 drops of tea tree essential oil and 5 drops of lavender essential oil. Mix all the ingredients in a clean bottle and shake well.
