Essential Oil Skin Care

Essential oils are used by many companies for their skin care products, because they work so well in hydrating the skin and making it look and feel soft and smooth.

For example, one of my favorite skin care companies, Aesop, makes extensive use of essential oils in their luxurious skin care products.

Their Aesop Camellia Nut Facial Hydrating Cream contains Camellia Japonica Seed Oil, Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) Seed Extract, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Oil, and Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender).

In Aesop Resurrection Aromatique Hand Balm the essential oils used include Citrus Nobilis (Mandarin Orange) Peel Oil, Cedrus Atlantica (Cedarwood) Bark Oil, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Oil, Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) Seed Extract, and Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Oil.

I love both products, not only because they work so well, but also because the oils give you a real emotional lift. That’s the ultimate benefit of essential oils - they work on your mind as well as on your body.

If you don’t want to buy commercial skin products containing essential oils, there’s nothing to stop you making your own products, using the essential oils which are used by commercial producers.
