First things first: Never apply neat, that is undiluted, essential oils to your skin, even to the soles of your feet or palms of your hand. If you need to use oils neat for inhalation, then please take care and dispense your oils on cotton or a tissue ball for direct inhalation.
Here are a couple of the aromatherapy skin care methods for cellular renewal and facial cleansing:
FACIAL STEAM:
In order to get an aromatherapy skin care facial steam, you are to disperse 3 to 5 drops of essential oil in a teaspoon of honey or milk and mix into a pint of steaming hot water.
Then, pour this hot mixture into a stainless steel mixing bowl and lean your face forward, over the bowl making sure that your head is covered with a towel so that the steam can reach your face.
Afterwards, just breath in the steam and relax until the water cools. To get an aromatherapy facial steam you may use your oils in a facial steamer if you have one.
FACIAL MASQUE
To use an aromatherapy facial masque, just add 2-3 drops of essential oils to mashed avocado, moistened clay, egg white, or honey. Then, dampen your face lightly and apply your facial masque. You should leave the masque on for 10 to 15 minutes until it begins to dry and harden slightly. Afterwards, wash the masque thoroughly off your face. You will fall in love with your facial skin afterwards.
