Instructions for Preparing the Face Oil:
-
Sanitize: Ensure your glass dropper bottle and all measuring tools (pipettes, small beaker) are thoroughly sanitized with isopropyl alcohol and completely air-dried.
-
Combine Base Oils: In your sanitized beaker, measure out the Sweet Almond Oil Extract and Jojoba Oil. Stir gently to combine.
-
Add Actives: Add the Vitamin E Oil to the mixture. If using, add the Rosehip Seed Oil and essential oil of Lavender.
-
Gentle Mixing: Stir the mixture very gently until all ingredients are well combined. Avoid vigorous shaking to prevent air bubbles.
-
Bottle: Carefully transfer the finished face oil into your sanitized glass dropper bottle.
-
Label: Label your bottle clearly with the product name and date of manufacture.
Recommendations for Application and Use:
-
Application: Apply 2-3 drops of the face oil to clean, slightly damp skin (after cleansing and toning) morning and/or evening. Gently massage into the face and neck until absorbed.
-
Versatility: This oil can also be used on the body, cuticles, or as a hair treatment for added shine and moisture.
-
Storage: Store the face oil in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight, to preserve its freshness and efficacy. The Vitamin E helps to prevent oxidation.
-
Patch Test: Always perform a patch test on a small, inconspicuous area of skin (e.g., inner forearm) before widespread use, especially if you have sensitive skin or are new to essential oils.
-
Oil Selection: The choice of Jojoba Oil and Rosehip Seed Oil is for their specific benefits, but you can customize with other preferred carrier oils.
-
Essential Oil Safety: If using essential oils, ensure they are skin-safe and used within recommended dilution rates. Consult a qualified aromatherapist if unsure.
