ESSENTIAL OILS FOR SKIN

First of all, the best way to prevent future skin issues is to incorporate a skin regimen while you are still young.
That being said, here are some suggestions for materials that can help in creating a skin care routine for women of all ages.

Over time skin loses its tension and starts to sag. forming wrinkles and a pasty appearance. In my opinion, there is one essential oil for skin elasticity:

Frankincense (Boswellia carterii) can help with a range of skin issues from rejuvenating dry mature skin to resolving painful rashes and topical skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema. Its restores elasticity. great for toning the skin and pulling the fibers tight. Frankincense also softens grouchy expressions!

Another facial oil option to use in a blend or on its own is
Apricot Kernel (Prunus armeniaca) . It’s an emollient that is anti-aging and helps improve elasticity to mature skin. It is high in Vitamin E & Omegas 6 and 9.

You can also make your own moisturizing facial cream!
Here is the recipe:

• 1 fl oz face cream of your choice
• 1 fl oz rose water or orange flower water
• 3 drops frankincense
• Combine fully and store in the refrigerator

One last tip…

Worrying about your skin is a must, but beauty comes from within also. Eat organic fruits and vegetables, higher in vitamins and minerals, that are good for the skin. Just as the best natural oils come from remote areas away from pollution, our food deserves the same consideration.
The best way to ensure you are getting enough nutrients is to eat a varied diet with good sources of zinc, such as meat, seafood, nuts, seeds, legumes and dairy. Zinc not only enhances the skin but also makes your hair thicker and shinier too.
