women`s secret

We have long been accustomed to the presence of essential oils in cosmetic creams, ointments, shampoos and conditioners. But it is possible to significantly expand the possibilities of the usual means, if you know how, in what quantities and what essential oils to add to a regular cream or milk, to make it even more useful and effective!

Essential oils for hair

Our hair is very fond of the presence of oils in care products, and react to them almost instantly. So, what can I advise to replenish the arsenal of shampoos, conditioners and hair balms:

• Tea tree oil is an excellent remedy for dandruff, dry scalp and even many skin diseases (but about the latter, be sure to consult a doctor!). Simply add 3-4 drops of tea tree oil to the conditioner or balsam conditioner that is used after the shampoo.
• Laurel oil - in the eyes strengthens and rejuvenates the hair, giving them a healthy and shiny appearance. You can add 2-3 drops of oil in shampoo, you can and in the conditioner. Try to apply over the entire length of the hair, except the roots and scalp.
• Rosemary oil - can be used alone or together with laurel oil in the ratio of 2-3 drops of bay oil to 4-5 - rosemary oil. Moisturizes and strengthens hair.

Essential oils for the body

Not only shampoos and conditioners from our "bath" arsenal can be enriched. The same applies to gels and foams for the shower, which can have a beneficial effect not only on the skin condition, but also on the mood. So,

• Citrus Oils - literally all citrus fruits will have an excellent effect on the skin condition, will fight with the manifestations of cellulite and stretch marks, and also give cheerfulness and energy for the whole day. Dropping 3-4 drops of lemon, orange, grapefruit on the loofah and whipping them with shower gel, you will get a real energy cocktail, which is best used in the morning, going to work, and not before going to bed.
• Lavender oil - but it is better to leave it for evening bathing. Lavender oil moisturizes and tones the skin, while giving a sense of peace, helping to relieve day stress and tension and easily fall asleep.
• Ylang-ylang oil is a recognized aphrodisiac. Also use 2-3 drops of ylang-ylang with shower gel on the eve of a romantic evening - in passing it will well affect the freshness and elasticity of the skin.

But remember - when adding essential oils to the bath you should be very careful! It is highly recommended not to add citrus oils directly into the water for a long bath or even a bath foam - this can provoke a real burn. So - limit the use of oils only during the shower.
Also all these aromatic substances can be used for aroma lamps in the room - with the same effect on mood and nerves. More about this we at MaxyBaby.net.ua wrote in the article Aromatherapy: a country of pleasure .

Essential oils for the face

At once we will make a reservation, that with application of aroma oils for a face skin it is necessary to be especially accurate. It is better to use them as enrichment for foam or washable liquid to remove make-up, and also carefully monitor the dosage.

• Rose oil - 1-2 drops of rose oil in a portion of foam for washing immediately noticeably refresh the complexion, you will feel a slight burning and rising temperature. Wash off the foam several times with cool water, the skin after the procedure will be crushed, and the feel and the appearance will be more moist and fresh.
• Blue camomile oil - 1-2 drops of camomile blue oil is useful for whitening the face skin, eliminating dryness, irritation and flaking. As with the rose, it is necessary to accurately observe the dosage and do not leave the product on the face for a long time: after massaging the foam massage lines, immediately wash off. By the way, this oil is considered useful for hair and scalp, it can be applied together with the conditioner, without bypassing the hair roots (in contrast, for example, from rosemary or laurel).

In conclusion, I can again advise you to have in the bathroom and on the cosmetic shelf a few essential oils - if used correctly, their effect manifests itself very quickly and noticeably.
