• 2 drops of geranium essential oil
• 1 oz (30g) of carrier cream

1. In a small bowl, mix the chamomile, lavender, and geranium essential oils. Make sure not to put more than the specified number of drops since essential oils are strong and too much can have a reverse effect than what was intended. Also, too much can have an overpowering smell that can be bothersome rather than refreshing.

2. Add the mixed essential oils to the carrier cream. Try to buy carrier creams that are lanolin-free, non-mineral, and organic.

3. After stirring the mixture well, place the cream in amber-colored glass jars. The reason for this specification is due to the sensitivity of essential oils.

Massaging the cream on your skin is very helpful since not only does it allow your skin to absorb the cream effectively,but also it will improve your blood circulation.
