Application to skin

Using the pipette, draw up a small amount of oil and apply to damp skin. Damp skin helps the oil absorb quickly without a greasy feeling. Then spread evenly over the whole face; you can also treat the neck and décolletage, or the eye area (moringa, argan, grape seed and prickly pear oil). Massage into the skin with gentle patting motions and leave to absorb. On frosty days, apply the oil to dry skin.

Tips for combining with essential oils:

Oily skin – citrus oils, tea tree (ideally combined with grape seed oil)

Dry and mature skin – geranium, rose, rosewood, ylang ylang, frankincense, neroli, sandalwood (ideally combined with argan, rosehip and prickly pear oil)

Dilution: 3 – 5 drops of essential oil + 1 tablespoon of carrier oil (for fungal infections, a higher dilution can be used short-term – approx. 10 drops)

Before use, perform a tolerance test!

Application to hair

The oils will especially be appreciated by those troubled by dry and split hair. The oils hydrate hair and give it a healthy shine. They provide the scalp with nourishment it is lacking and help regenerate hair damaged by sun exposure and excessive use of a hairdryer or hair straightener. They also prevent excessive hair loss and make styling easier.

For best effect, the oil is ideally applied to damp hair. Using the pipette, draw up the desired amount and rub the oil between your palms. Then work it in with gentle strokes along the full length of the hair, the scalp, or just the ends of the hair.

Oil wrap: apply to damp hair approximately an hour before washing. Wrap the hair in film (plastic food wrap is suitable, for example) and then a towel. Leave the wrap to work for 30 – 60 minutes, or even longer (an overnight treatment is also suitable). Then wash the hair with shampoo and style as needed.
