Hand Essential Oil Recipes and Tips

It isn't difficult to make your own hand essential oil recipe once you have a few basic ingredients. Like anything there are a few tips and tricks that can help get your recipe right.

Use Unscented Lotion Along With Patchouli, Sandalwood And Carrot Seed

To begin with, this hand essential oil recipe requires using eight ounces of unscented lotion, which can be sourced from a number of sellers that deal in natural products as well as aromatherapy products and who are usually found selling unscented lotions as well as shower gels and shampoos. Other ingredients include ten drops of Patchouli, twenty drops of Sandalwood and five drops of Carrot Seed. Once you have the right ingredients measured out, all that remains is to follow the directions given in the hand essential oil recipe.

You would be better served while blending the oils to use the lotion by pouring it into a bowl to which is added the oils and the whole should then be mixed well. After the mixing stage, you may want to add the lotion back to the bottle. For dry skin, use of Patchouli, sandalwood as well as carrot seeds are especially helpful. In addition, patchouli as well as sandalwood oils are well known to have an exciting as well as rich scent when they are blended with one another.

Use of carrot seed as specified in the hand essential oil recipe will help the skin since it has wonderful properties though the aroma can be a bit on the harsh side. If you want still more help for your skin you can use borage and Evening Primrose, which if you can afford the price, should be added in small quantities to the lotion so that your skin will get much needed nourishment.

Before you actually use the end product of your hand essential oil recipe, it would be wise to perform a skin patch first using the newly created blend so that you can ensure that your skin is not sensitive to the blend. There is no doubt a great sense of fulfillment achieved when one can successfully create a decent essential oil using a hand essential oil recipe since you will be able to create blends that will provide you with aromatic pleasure that is also most suitable for your personal fragrance needs. What you do need to focus on while using a hand essential oil recipe is to focus the blend on the final aroma, and not on the therapeutic properties.
