A few days ago I have been experimenting with a few essential and base oils that I have in abundance in my office that also serves as a lab. This fragrant blend captivated my senses and I was in fact sniffing on my elbow (where I patch tested the blend to make sure it was non-irritating). Feel free to use the blend to revive dry, post-winter skin. It also seems to be excellent as sensual massage oil but in this case skip mineral shimmer.

For shimmering effects, I recommend combining one teaspoon golden shimmer, one teaspoon pink, and one teaspoon bronze (optional, for darker skin tones). You can buy mineral shimmers by teaspoons (they arrive in small paper sachets or sifter jars).

Ingredients

1 oz (30 g) sweet almond oil

1 oz (30 g) apricot kernel oil

1 oz (30 g) grape seed oil

2 drops clary sage essential oil

2 drops mandarin essential oil

2 drops chamomile essential oil

1 drop Ylang Ylang essential oil

1 drop lavender essential oil

2 teaspoons mineral shimmer

Method

Pour the pre-measured amounts of oils into a glass bottle and shake vigorously to blend. You may also add a pinch of mineral shimmer to infuse your skin with a healthy glow.

Application

Apply daily to give your skin a gorgeous glow.
