Skin Care Tips, Notes & More

There are many different avenues to explore when deciding how best to treat your skin and what skin care products you decide to try or not try is a personal choice. However when most individuals are looking at different skin care products options they tend to stick to brand name products and often unaware of the benefits that natural oil can offer. This alternative may be desirable option if you are looking to use natural products.

Using botanical oil is frequently thought of as alternative or a little off the wall but in reality many of the products we buy off the self we choose because of the natural added ingredients that are said to be the new best thing. Another myth with natural skin care products is that it is time consuming and expensive and that definitely does not have to be the case. Bottles of natural oil are indeed small and the cost for the size may seem excessive but ultimately the bottle often lasts months or years because the amount used at any given time is very small.

There are many different options to battle different skin care concerns and issues. We will begin by discussing several different essential oils used to combat oily skin and their different applications.

1.Citronella has a distinctive smell and is commonly known as an insect repellent. It can however be used for oily skin, simply add 2 or 3 drops of citronella natural oil to one ounce of carrier oil and apply to the face or affected area.

2.Ylang ylang is an exotic natural oil that can be used to regulate the skins production of sebum. Add 2 or 3 drops to a cotton ball and apply to the affected area, because this natural oil regulates sebum production it can also be used on dry skin.

4.Orange natural oil can also be used to remove excess oil from the skin, add a couple of drops to a wet cotton ball or pad and gently wipe away.

5.Frankincense is often associated with the biblical story as one of the three gifts given to baby Jesus. Today frankincense is a highly praised natural oil that is very effective in battling oily skin. Again simply wet a cotton ball or pad with water and add 2 or 3 drops of the essential oil and gently remove excess oil from the affected area.
