"To make the most of aromatherapy, it is necessary to live by the laws of nature", says Aromatherapy expert Blossom Kocchar. Perfect skin requires a sensible diet, plenty of water, adequate sleep, moderate exercise and a calm disposition.
Aromatherapy products that you should use for your skin care regime would depend on your skin type.

Normal Skin
Cleansing :

Wash your face daily with a mild-PH balanced soap and water. At night cleanse with cleansing milk or cream containing rose or camomile.

Toning : With rose water.
Moisturising & Conditioning :

Use a face-oil every night. Make your own by adding two drops of rose oil to three teaspoons of almond oil. Massage in with circular movements with your fingers across the forehead, around the sinus area, over the cheeks and chin; stroke up the back and front of the neck. Use a moisturizer containing rose or canomile during the day.

Two to three times a week : Deep cleanse your face with a face shampoo in the morning.
Once a week : Use a refreshing and cleansing herbal mask.
Mix one tablespoon of kaolin with yoghurt; add one tablespoon of pulp of avocado/ grape/ peach; add two drops of rose oil or a teaspoon of rose water.

Oily Skin
Cleansing :

A face shampoo should be used daily;and at night, camphor or peppermint cleansing milk especially formulated for oily skin. Yogurt with drop of camphor spirit and a drop of peppermint is a good cleanser.

Toning :

Don't use an alcoholic astringent. Alcohol dehydrates the skin and stimulates sebaceous glands to produce more sebum. To tone, splash your face with a glass of water containing a drop each of benzoin and peppermint.

Moisturising & Conditioning :

You can make an antiseptic face oil by adding two drops of lemon oil to one teaspoon of soya or jojoba oil. Gently massage this oil into your skin. Then apply a hot towel as a compress to your face to aid penetration of oil.

Two to three times a week : Use an exfoliating scrub of Fuller's earth (multani mitti), orange peel, sandalwood and tomato pulp. Massage it into the skin and rinse off.
Twice a week :

Use a cleansing facemask.
Mix one teaspoon of kaolin with yoghurt to make a paste, add the pulp of cucumber, carrot, pear or strawberry and two drops of lemon oil to this mixture.



Dry and Sensitive Skin
Cleansing :

Use a rose cleansing cream in morning and night. Do not wash your skin even with a mild soap. Use milk (to which a dash of turmeric has been added) as a cleanser.

Toning :

Mix equal quantities of rose water and witch-hazel to tone the skin. Cucumber juice is also an effective toner for dry skin.

Moisturising & Conditioning :

Apply a few drops of face oil containing three drops of sandalwood oil, one tablespoon of almond oil and one tablespoon of castor oil. After five minutes, apply a moisturizer. Discontinue castor oil in summer.

Two to three times a week : A gentle face scrub with oatmeal and almonds.
Once a week :

Use a soothing facemask.
Mix one tablespoon of milk powder, half a banana, half teaspoon honey and yoghurt to make a paste. Add one drop of sandalwood oil.


Combination Skin
Cleansing :

Wash your face daily with a mild soap and water. At night cleanse with cleansing milk or light cream containing rose.

Toning : Rose water mixed with witch-hazel
Moisturising & Conditioning :

Make two face oils - one with two drops of sandalwood and one tablespoon almond oil for the dry areas. The other with two drops of lemon and one tablespoon jojoba oil for the oily areas. After massage, apply hot towel to the entire face as compress.

Two to three times a week :

Deep cleanse your face with a face shampoo in the morning.

Once a week : Use a gentle scrub (same as dry skin).
