What are Essential Oils?
Essential Oils are completely natural oils that are generally extracted from plant sources. They are concentrated and potent oils that have numerous benefits to the skin.
How do Essential Oils work?
Essential Oils work as typically as a serum works on the skin. Since it is super concentrated, it should be used with a carrier oil such as coconut oil or olive oil. This makes sure that the oil penetrates the skin, and at the same time, it ensures that the oil doesn’t saturate the skin.

Homemade Moisturizer Using Essential Oil
To make your very own homemade moisturizer using essential oils, you will need
Essential Oil of your choice
- Carrier Oil that is used to dilute and carry essential oils to be delivered to the skin. Examples: almond oil, coconut oil, olive oil etc.
- Moisturizing Oil or Cream
Method
- Start off by mixing the essential oil with the carrier oil. The ratio for this is roughly 5-10 drops of the essential oil with twice as much of the carrier oil.
- To this, add any moisturizing oil or cream that you have and store this in an airtight tub.
- You can apply this on your face instead of your daily moisturizer.
Precautions for using Essential Oils
