Aromatherapy Facial Oils

by Balzsam Labor

What is Aromatherapy Facial Oil?

One of the possible methods of aromatherapy skin care is when we mix high-quality cold-pressed oils with the most suitable, 100% pure essential oils for the skin problem to be solved, mature this mixture, and then treat our skin with this special oil mixture.

Balzsam Labor Face Care oils are a bit more complex than this.

How do we make them?

The basis of our face care oils is not only the cold-pressed oils deemed to be the most suitable for the skin problem to be solved, but we have also selected 2 herbs each, which we have soaked in these oils. The oil extracts were produced using traditional technology , aged for at least 10 days , and then filtered. As a result, we obtained special base oils, which not only have the positive properties of the oils, but also contain the active ingredients of the herbs soaked in them.

Vitamin E (Tocopherol), vitamin C (Ascorbyl Palmitate) and Q-10 (Ubiquinone) were included in this special foundation, as these three ingredients together are an effective care for all skin types .

The essential oil mixtures used in the base oil were aged for at least one week before use, with daily mixing. Each essential oil composition consists of three essential oils, which were selected to have the most complex composition of active ingredients for the given skin problem.

How can we use them?

The simplest and traditional application is to gently massage 5-10 drops of oil into wet skin . Then we can use our usual daytime face care product.

In the evening, you can use them for a facial massage, in which case we apply a larger amount of oil (15-20 drops) to the wet skin, and - paying attention to the proper massage technique - we massage our skin with wet hands for 3-5 minutes. Any oil that may not have been absorbed does not need to be removed from the skin.
