It is essential to have a light hand. Making a repairing and purifying cream by adding 10 drops of real 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, there is then every chance of developing a beautiful allergy.
If you are not used to using the essential oils in order to relieve everyday ailments, it is better to avoid improvising yourself 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 parapharmacies, and which offer a wide choice of care products. .
If you are already well acquainted with EOs, their dosages, their virtues… you can refer to reference works to make your first natural care. Face lotion, body cream, hand balm… you have to follow the recipes to the letter and always test your mixture on a small portion of skin before spreading it on your face.
