Anyone use essential oils?

Anyone use them in their beauty regimen? What do you use? What do you use it for and how do you like it? I've recently become curious with them! I hear good things all the time so I might try a few out.

You can mix a few drops in melted beeswax (or some other base) to create a homemade solid perfume. Or you can add them to most products to add a bit of scent.

I like to use them in my baths for scent or scent bath salts. Definetly do your research on them because certain ones can be used undiluted but most need to be diluted with a carrier oil (like almond oil) or it can burn your skin. Also, some can cause other skin sensitivities like all the citrus ones cause light sensitivity, so be careful! Too much peppermint oil in bath water burns... And make sure you check that youre getting essential oils, NOT fragance oils (huge difference, none are safe for skin or ingesting).

Essential Oils are amazing. They are actually really good for you. I like to put it in the washing machine (lavender) to make my clothes smell nice. We make our own landry detergent so it doesn't really smell. But any ways, my mom and dad are highly sensitive to perfumes so I have never been able too use them. So I use essential oils. Thieves is amazing and not just for the smell it also helps fights and keep away colds. peppermint does the same thing. My sister makes her own ChapStick using beeswax and essential oil and some other stuff!

Tea tree for pimple and spots. I have pepermint that I use when I'm sick. Patchouli is good for the face
