Face oils are amazing for keeping your skin nourished, healthy and for giving you that post-yoga glow we all love!

However, it’s important to recognise that not everyone’s skin is the same and our skin condition often changes based on weather, hormones, travel & stress. So we’ve put together a pure essential oil skin bible so you can tailor your very own facial oil to match your skin.

STEP 1 – Choose Your Base Oil

This will make up the main majority of your oil. Your base oil should depend on your skin type and how heavy & lightweight you would like it to be.
Avocado Oil – Extremely hydrating – perfect for dry skin!
Jojoba Oil – A nourishing base oil that’s great for normal skin.
Sweet Almond Oil – A mild base oil that’s perfect for combination skin.
Rosehip Oil – Add a few extra drops to boost the performance of your chosen base oil. Great for sensitive skin, it is gentle & calming properties assist to reduce redness and irritation.

STEP 2 – Choose Your Pure Essential Oil

Pure Essential Oils have been widely used for their skincare benefits from reducing scarring, helping to tone, balance, brighten & smooth skin along with clearing acne.

Choose from the following oils for their amazing skin healing properties:

• Tea Tree – Amazing antibacterial properties great for helping to calm acne. (Use with care on sensitive skin).

STEP 3 – Create your facial oil

– Add 2 tablespoons of your chosen base oil to a glass dish
– Add 3-6 drops of your chosen pure essential oil to the base oil & combine (You can combine 2 oils – e.g. 3 drops tea tree and 2 drops bergamot to treat acne)
– Transfer into your preferred glass bottle with dropper cap
