Just as in rituals, essential oils are also used in skin care. You can mix and match and make up your own serum that fits your skin’s needs. Choosing your own, personalized blend can be fun! That’s the beauty of the unique benefits of each oil.
Due to the high concentration of essential oils, we do not recommend applying the essential oils directly onto your face. Instead, you should always dilute essential oils in a carrier oil and dilution rates can vary, depending on your usage. Don’t worry, I’ll help you out here.

Choosing an essential oil is not only based on the scent but on your skin type, so take a moment and pull your attention to your skin.
Things like the time of year and where you live can play a role. When picking an oil never chose synthetic or fragrance oils, always get pure oils. Like a ritual, choosing your essential oil should be fun! (PS: Here’s my favorite Natural Serum Recipe.)
Lavender oil protects the skin from environmental stress, helps the body adapt to stress, and relieves tight itchy skin. It also cleanses and helps heal skin irritations.
Geranium oil is an anti-fungal and disinfectant! It works to regulate oil production, promote blood circulation, reduce redness, and calm itching.
Neroli oil is a natural antiseptic that helps balance oil production and shrinks pores without drying out skin.
Rose oil has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, making it a great moisturizer for sensitive skin. It works to calm redness, tone the skin, and help refine skin texture.
Myrrh oil is an anti-inflammatory; it works wonders with chapped skin, rashes, improving skin tone, and reducing pigmentation of the skin.
Tea Tree oil is our favorite antibacterial oil. It helps with wound cleaning and reducing acne. As a mild disinfectant, it’s an all-natural fix for acne and blackheads.
Bergamot oil stimulates healing by being a natural antiseptic, making this natural potion good for reducing acne scars.
Juniper oil is incredibly cleansing; it prevents infections and speeds healing time.
Ylang Ylang oil minimizes breakouts, controls oil production, and helps regenerate cells.
