Why Should You Use Aromatherapy Facial Cream, Oils and Serums?

-
Aromatherapy Facial Creams are more than facial oils or serums. Typically, the facial cream will contain oil and water combinations making the cream capable of providing extra moisture to the skin.


An Aromatherapy Facial Cream will:

  • soften your skin
  • nourish your skin
  • moisturize your skin
A facial oil or facial serum most usually will  not deliver the same benefits as a facial cream. Typically, one uses a facial cream and then a facial oil or serum. Daily facial cream use is a must especially if you have dry and dehydrated skin. If your skin is well hydrated but just lacks oil or is dry, you might be be able to get by with just a facial oil or serum. 

Usually though most females use a cream right after cleansing in mornings and nights. A serum is then used as extra protection after the cream is applied. The great thing about Aromatherapy oils and creams is that a formulator or Aromatherapist can prepare a formula to address your specific needs in detail.

Aromatherapy facial oils and creams therapeutic benefits include:
  • providing enhanced wound healing
  • they can slow down the aging process
  • they can improve the appearance of scars and reduce them in size
  • they can balance out sebum production and enhance immune cells of the skin
  • they can increase local circulation
  • they can improve the tone of your skin
  • they soften and soothe the skin
  • they can address emotional issues such as providing a protective barrier when stress or other environmental issues attack your skin

As with all medicines, keep essential oils out of the reach of children. This may require some creativity as no cap on essential oils are childproof, and if you store them in the refrigerator it becomes even more difficult to keep them out of reach of children.  If you do store your oils in the refrigerator and have children in the household you will need to place a lock on your storage box. Otherwise, if you store your oils just in a cool part of your house, keeping them out of reach of a child's hand may be easier for you. Do not use or recommend use of photosensitizing essential oils prior to going into the sun or a tanning booth. Severe, and I mean very severe burns can occur.
