Carrier Oils for Blending : Aromatherapy

"Let’s get started with some carrier oils for blending and diluting your essential oils. First one I want to talk to you about is grapeseed oil. Grapeseed oil is a lighter oil, it absorbs into the skin quickly. It is generally good for all skin types. It is a little astringent, so it will tighten and tone the skin as well. Another good carrier oil for blending and diluting the essential oil is sweet almond oil. Sweet almond oil is good for all skin types. It is very good for relieving itching, soreness and dryness. It is very lubricating, but not penetrating, which makes it a very good oil to use for massage oil blend. It lasts about three months, but be careful it is not suitable for those with allergies. Another carrier oil you can use for blending is aloe vera. Aloe vera penetrates the skin deeply, provides valuable nutrients and promotes cell repair. It is natural anti-inflammatory cleansing action also helps to reduce swelling and provide instant antiseptic pain relief to small wounds."
