I've posted an essential oil list separately. The following are carrier oils for the essential oils.
This is not a be-all end-all list. Everyone has different skin and some oils in a different category might work for your type of skin, even if it's not listed in under your skin type. Remember, it's possible that some of the oils lists for your skin type may not work as well as others. It's a matter of trial and error. I also didn't list every possible oil available.
I was looking at the list I posted and neglected to add rosehip seed to the sensitive and oily/acne list.
Rosehip seed oil is suppose to help rosacea. A good combo would be emu, rosehip seed, borage and Vit E. Sea buckthorn and tamanu would also be worth adding. A bit of Helichrysum EO mixed in would top it off. Oh, rice bran oil is another thought.
I can't find the post that teaches us how you put the camellia in a dark jar with a carrier oil, how long do you wait. And was wondering if you could do the same with chamomile.
You're sweet, Angel. I don't mean to overload anyone. As long as it's posted, then it'll be there for later reference when you need it. I see there's a way to "permalink" a post.
I've only seen mention of the stevia mask. Can you direct me to the formula or just tell me what you're using?
Beauty, I think you're referencing my suggestion for calendula flowers. Yes, you can do it with chamomile flowers, too. There is cold or hot infusion. I prefer cold, because I'm always concerned about getting it too hot.
Eden theres a huge number of threads on stevia as a skin tightener see below: i use the powdered green stevia and just did a mask tonight actually but i mixed it with a mud mask i had, to really great effect.
i particularly like the all natural aspect of this mask and would love to build upon it. im just wondering if adding EOs would be enough or would i need to go a bit further. i had thought of mixing it with manuka honey also.
Well, duh -- I misread your post, Angel, and saw "lightener" not "tightener". I just finished reading the whole thread and then some. I think you could mix it with all kinds of goodies -- the sky's the limit! Manuka honey and EOs would work fine with it.
Camellia oleifera and Camellia sinensis (or Camellia japonica) are basically the same, but the C. oleifera is slightly more emolient, C. sinensis is the large-flowering variety.
I'd leave out castor oil, though. It is the debbil to try to get off the skin IMO. It made me break out in BOILS the last time I used it to cleanse my skin.
see this is why it takes me so long to finish with one site and move onto another. I was on Abbey St Clare for WAY too long after you posted about the C toner or serum of whatever it was-it's YOUR fault Fawnie-
Oh I can't use castor oil on my face, no way!! I do use it on my hands and my lips though.
I hear ya. I had my finger on the BUY button for a long time there picking out 5 samples to try for $7. Then I got to the postage part: $5 for 5 little samples!!! They use the Priority Rate $4.95 box. So wasteful for little samples!!
Really I just wanted to try their Three C Tonic, but it had a lot of stuff I don't even like in it, like witch hazel and citrus oils, so I passed. Saved again.
You are SO like me. I can window shop for HOURS!!!!!!! Then when it comes time to purchase.............................uh no, I will pass that you-
Drives DH crazy!! I will have everything in my cart, go get my bank card, then sit down to finish and decide aawwhhh na I don't need this!! LOL He will interupt me and I will say hold on let me finish this purchase and he will say, oh ya I hear that SO many times only to find out you never really purchased a thing-
I like PayPal too. They really go to bat for you esp on Evilbay if you have a dispute with a seller. Plus you only have to remember your password, not a number.
Do I need this one too??? It is $90 is it worth getting?? I like the looks of it to be honest. Diagrams and such are right up my alley!! Then I can see what it is I am supposed to be doing-
how can I make a nice oil blend for the body, just mix them? One that will make my skin really soft and dewy. Also, where do they sell nice dark glass jars? I don't like the plastic ones.
You could probably have ordered some from MRH when you ordered the oils. Check the supplier list. I know SKS carries then, as do several other stores. If you only have a few oils, you might find them locally.
Right now I have jojoba, rose hip, hemp, sunflower, avocado, rice bran, wheat and almond, I got brazilian nut and evening primrose on the way, I have extra virgin coconut oil that I love, but I like to use that one on it's own, smells delicious!
