What is a carrier oil, and how is it used together with essential oils?
Because essential oils are incredibly concentrated, they
should almost always be diluted in a carrier oil, specifically when used
topically.
Carrier oils dilute the essential oils and help “carry” them
into the skin.
Below are carrier oils that you can use,
- ·
Sweet almond oil
It has a medium consistency, absorbs well and is known for
its moisturizing properties.
Loaded with vitamin E, sweet almond oil keeps your skin
cells healthy and may even protect your skin from UV radiation damage.
When applied daily, it can help the skin look and feel more
smooth, helping reduce the signs of aging.
Sweet almond oil can naturally fight skin imperfections with
its vitamin A properties.
- ·
Extra Virgin olive oil
Olive oil is high in antioxidants and is exceptionally
healing to dry, patchy skin.
Also loaded with vitamin E, olive oil keeps your skin cells
healthy and may even protect your skin from UV radiation damage.
- ·
Coconut oil
It is an excellent carrier oil for covering a large surface
area with essential oils.
Coconut oil has natural antibacterial properties making it
great for skin infections, cuts, and rashes.
It can be used to treat facial imperfections and protect the
skin from harmful bacteria.
Coconut oil is full of vitamins and nutrients that can
benefit your skin and health.
- ·
Avocado oil
It absorbs slowly but deeply into the skin;
it’s very hydrating and an excellent moisturizer for dry
skin.
Avocado oil is rich in fatty acids, vitamin E, potassium,
lecithin, and many other nutrients that can nourish, help with anti-aging, and
moisturize the skin.
Avocado oil is very “oily” and thick, so it will leave
behind a thicker residue than some of the other
