We generally use a different type of oils to beautify our skin or hair. The essential oils have many more benefits. Coconut, almond, sesame, castor and even rice bran oil can be used as vector oils.

Here are the tips for using these essential oils for some general beauty problems.

1. To get rid of pimples and acne: Tea Tree Oil

Take about 2 drops of Tea Tee oil and mix it with 1tsp of Fuller’s Earth (multani mitti) and some spring water. Make a smooth paste and apply this on acne and pimples on the face. This oil naturally kills bacteria that leads to pimples.

2. To nourish and fight against hair thinning: Ylang Ylang Oil

Massage your hair with castor oil to which you have added 4-5drops of Ylang Ylang oil. This also helps hair to grow and thicken hair. It is also known to protect the hair from salt water and chlorine.

3. To rejuvenate dull skin: Rose Hip Oil

Take 2tsp of almond oil and add 2 drops of Rose Hip oil and massage into the skin to see the most amazing and rejuvenated skin in no time at all. This just wakes up the skin as it contains Vitamin C and Lycopene.

4. To fade away stretch marks: Jasmine Oil

Massage your skin with a mix of coconut oil and Jasmine oil. Take approximately 50ml of pure coconut oil and mix this 5 drops of Jasmine oil. The stretch marks will fade with regular use.

5. To improve skin’s elasticity: Frankincense, Patchouli and Geranium

3-4 drops of frankincense, patchouli or geranium help improve the skin’s elasticity and encourage cell turn over. These oils also help to tighten the skin and lessen fine lines and wrinkles. I always feel they are best used either in almond oil or avocado oil.
