7 ways to use essential oils

Essential Oil Storage

Essential oils are easily oxidized when exposed to air and easily deteriorate when exposed to sunlight. It is best to place them in a clean, dark place, and also pay attention to secondary pollution after use.

Best time to use essential oils

Essential oils can be applied after cleansing and before toner, or after essence and before cream. Both methods can promote the absorption of skin care products. The former is to open up the water channels of the skin, while the latter is more inclined to moisturize and resist external damage. If you think there are too many steps in skin care, you can drop essential oils into essence or lotion and use it before going to bed. When you wake up in the morning, you will be radiant!

Massage with essential oils

If you suddenly want to have a SPA, in addition to massage cream, massage with essential oil is also a very good choice. Add 1-2 drops of essential oil, rub your hands together to warm them up, and press repeatedly on your facial skin for 1 minute. This can make your face rosy and promote blood circulation.

Pressing is a way to promote absorption

Essential oils are different from skin care products. Simply pushing them will not achieve the absorption effect. The correct way to use them is to press them continuously until they are completely absorbed. It not only softens cuticles, but also accelerates absorption.

Use quantity to control

The amount of essential oil you use must be controlled, and you should not use it based on your own preferences. You should know that essential oil is actually a type of oil. If you use too much, it will clog your pores. Use according to your skin type, 1 drop for oily skin and 2-3 drops for dry skin, depending on your skin condition.

Facial mask and bath

Essential oils can be used as a sleeping mask. Before going to bed, drop a drop of essential oil on the palm of your hand, rub it to warm it up, press it on your face, then apply it with a hot towel. After it cools down, wipe off the excess oil on your face. You will have a radiant face when you wake up in the morning. For a sitz bath, drop essential oils directly into a bathtub filled with water. The temperature of the hot water should be kept at around 45 degrees. Add about 10 drops of essential oil to moisturize the skin and retain moisture.

Wash your face with essential oil water after cleansing

After washing your face every time, wash your face again with clean water containing essential oils to form a natural protective film. If you find it too troublesome, you can get used to using essential oil spray. Just add essential oil to the spray to prevent the situation where the face becomes drier after spraying.
