Dry Skin
Your skin produces a protective emollient substance known as sebum. People whose skin doesn’t produce enough sebum often sport dry, itchy and flaking skin. How ever, certain Essential Oils can help you. The tenacious, low volatility oils like Patchouli and Sandalwood, as well as heavily scented oils like Rose and Ylang-ylang are especially well suited for dry skin preparations.

• 3 fl. oz. Rosewater

• 8 drops Patchouli
• 8 drops Sandalwood
Melt the wax and the Almond essential oil in a double boiler. Reduce the heat and add the Rosewater gradually in a thin stream, while vigorously agitating the mixture. As soon as the water is incorporated take off heat. When the mixture cools and turns creamy, add the Essential Oils.
Oily Skin
