It is essential to have a light hand. Making a restorative and purifying cream by adding 10 drops of true lavender EO instead of one, for the sake of obtaining a more powerful emulsion, is a mistake that can be costly! Instead of hydrated and mattified skin, we then have every chance of developing a nice allergy.
If we are not used to using the essential oils in order to relieve everyday ailments, it is therefore better to avoid improvising as a cosmetics craftsman. Today there are reference brands in natural cosmetics (such as Sanoflore®, Florame®, etc.) that can be found in organic stores, pharmacies and drugstores, and which offer a wide choice of care products. .
If you are already familiar with EO, their dosages, their virtues … you can refer to reference books to make your first natural care. Face lotion, body cream, hand balm … it is then necessary to follow the recipes to the letter and always test its mixture on a small portion of skin before spreading it on the face.
