What is a carrier oil, and how is it used together with essential oils?

Because essential oils are incredibly concentrated, they should almost always be diluted in a carrier oil, specifically when used topically.

Carrier oils dilute the essential oils and help “carry” them into the skin.

Below are carrier oils that you can use,

• ·         Sweet almond oil

It has a medium consistency, absorbs well and is known for its moisturizing properties.

Loaded with vitamin E, sweet almond oil keeps your skin cells healthy and may even protect your skin from UV radiation damage.

When applied daily, it can help the skin look and feel more smooth, helping reduce the signs of aging.

Sweet almond oil can naturally fight skin imperfections with its vitamin A properties.

• ·         Extra Virgin olive oil

Olive oil is high in antioxidants and is exceptionally healing to dry, patchy skin.

Also loaded with vitamin E, olive oil keeps your skin cells healthy and may even protect your skin from UV radiation damage.

• ·         Coconut oil

It is an excellent carrier oil for covering a large surface area with essential oils.

Coconut oil has natural antibacterial properties making it great for skin infections, cuts, and rashes.

It can be used to treat facial imperfections and protect the skin from harmful bacteria.

Coconut oil is full of vitamins and nutrients that can benefit your skin and health.

• ·         Avocado oil

It absorbs slowly but deeply into the skin;

it’s very hydrating and an excellent moisturizer for dry skin.

Avocado oil is rich in fatty acids, vitamin E, potassium, lecithin, and many other nutrients that can nourish, help with anti-aging, and moisturize the skin.

Avocado oil is very “oily” and thick, so it will leave behind a thicker residue than some of the other
