That's interesting, and how do you use this mixture, like a face cream? What time of the day?

Essentail oils are most commonly used as bath oils (they supose to help you relax, and they smell great especially levander) but they are also wildly used in many beauty recipes. I also think that they could probably be used to make perfumes.

Good Question... I never tried doing that but that looks like a good idea, make sure you pick the write Essentail oil for your skin type if you realy want to add some. But also know that essentail oils are quite powerful so never use a whole bottle at one (in a cream i think a few drops would be enough) It also depends on the cream, you are using if its more of the type that has natural ingrediance than adding a bit of essentail oil would be fine however those other forms of creams that were made with complicated scientific formulas are more tricky so i would not add essential oils to them.

Speaking about olive oil, I've heard that it's very great to use it instead body lotion, it's really a great moisturizer...

Lilly, I agree with you that essential oils are very powerful and should be used in a very small amount. They better serve for aromatherapy. Their scents have a great influence on our health and beauty:)
You can read something about that in my article: Scents That Can Change Your Mood
