Queen Cleopatra was renowned for her beauty and mystery. In ancient Egypt there were no anti-ageing creams in the way that we know them today or strange surgical procedures which left you looking like a chipmunk. It is said that Cleopatra would bathe in milk baths which were infused with precious essential oils and that she also applied these oils to her face to protect her skin from the harsh environment. History tells us that her skin would shine with the lustre from these oils and that she had her own spa where the treatments would be carried out. Frankincense, from the "tree of life" is one of the oils that was used, this miraculous precious essential oil has an incredible amount of health benefits but when used in your beauty routine can yield dramatic results. Frankincense essential oil can reduce the appearance of scars, stretch marks, age spots. Frankincense can help to get rid of fine lines, prevent the formation of wrinkles, smooth out the skin and provide outstanding anti-ageing benefits.
Use Frankincence essential oil for cell regeneration along with Neroli for sagging skin, Lavender to calm and Carrot Seed oil for tone and elasticity in a carrier oil of your preference, Jojoba, Sweet Almond and Rosehip are my preferences and you will have a little bottle of skin magic...
I add 2.5% essential oil to my carrier oil. Example: 8 teaspoons of carrier oil and 20 drops of combined essential oils.
Do not use essential oils undiluted on your skin with the exception of Lavender and Tea Tree.
Natural beauty is there for the taking without all the harmful chemicals - you just have to go back in time to realise it.
