If you struggle with oily skin you may believe you’re stuck with it! Maybe you’ve decided it’s your genetic make-up or your  “beauty karma” has “cursed” you with an oily complexion and you’re doomed to spending lots of money on cosmetic covers-ups and skin rescue potions.

The truth, while cosmetic companies would never want you to find out about it, your skin condition may be a blessing, not a curse! Read on to uncover the lies you’ve been sold about oily skin and what your gorgeous glow is telling you!

The Lie You’ve Been Sold About Oily Skin

Somewhere along a string of seductive marketing campaigns, your skin’s natural and perfectly designed moisturizer, “sebum” has become a dirty word.

Within the world of big business, they’ve been crafty enough to realize, that by making a natural process of the body seem “wrong”, bad and even shameful, they can sell you a line of products to make it “right” and rescue you!

We’ve been lead to believe that we have to use an array of products to strip the dreaded oil from our faces, bodies and hair. We’ve then been marketed to and convinced to  purchase even more products to put it all back again!We’ve been washing, cleansing, scrubbing and exfoliating our beautiful faces all in the hope of ridding ourselves of that troublesome oil! Then being totally frustrated when, horror of horrors, it returns with a vengeance. Sound familiar? You’ve been on this misery-go-round, right?

If you have a good supply of natural oils, stripping them away with toxic cosmetic products only forces your sebaceous glands (oil production team) to go into turbo drive to produce more oil, which serves to protect your skin from the elements and infection. Our bodies do have wisdom, in spite of what they’d like us to believe.

An Herbal Face Oil Recipe To Heal Your Skin

We’ve been battling something, that in fact, is quite a blessing.

Some of the essential oils you’ll be buying for this, may seem more expensive that what our usual recipes call for, but when you compare it to retail cosmetics, you’re still way ahead of the game. And you’ll have plenty left over for many more healing and pampering formulas.

You can find some of the really expensive oils as a 10% dilution in jojoba oil. This may make them more affordable but they won’t be quite as powerful. If you’ve never tried pure essential oil or absolute of rose, treat yourself, it’s magical.

Herbal Face Oil Treatment

Ingredients:

  • 20ml Argan Oil
  • 5 drops Rose Essential Oil
  • 5 drops Lavender Essential Oil
  • 5 drops Frankincense Essential Oil
  • 5 drops Myrrh Essential Oil

The How To:

  1. Mix all ingredients in a small glass dropper bottle that releases only one drop at a time.
  2. Dispense 2-3 drops onto the palm of your hand and swipe them together.
  3. Press the oil onto your face, then gently blend it down your neck.

If you do have drier skin, you may find using Jojoba oil in place of the Argan works better for you.
