"Hi, I'm Sundae with Natural Sundae, and I'm going to show you a really fun and creative way to make your own aroma therapy massage oil. Now, the first step is finding your base oil. Now, they are referred to as base oil or carrier oils, and they're are so many different types out there. You can use jojoba oil, grape seed, sunflower and even apricot kernel, and most of the times these are the ones that are chosen because of their lighter texture. Okay, so now you have your oil, and you want to take one ounce. This is a one ounce bottle. Take one ounce bottle of oil, and you have your little essential oil here. You're going to add between six drops of this to this or twelve drops of this to this. And this will give you a very gentle one percent with the six drops or two percent dilution with the twelve drops. Now, just remember if you have sensitive skin, you really want to try it out on yourself. Start with a lower dilution. Start with the one percent dilution of six drops to one ounce before you increase to two percent. You want to make sure that it's not going to irritate your skin. Worst case scenario, if it irritate your skin which it: they're very gentle, but if you have very sensitive skin, it may. It will go away in a couple of hours. Just stop using it or decrease the dilution. So, it's very, very easy to make your own essential oil, massage therapy oil for your clients. Have fun and be creative. I'm Sundae with Natural Sundae. Have a great day."
