For The Love of Oils

The love of oils...  

Someone once asked me which oil I use. The fact remains that I use every oil available to me at every point in time. Anyone acquainted with Essential Oils and how they are used will tell you each oil is distinct, as if it has a personality of its own and unique in EVERY way. 

There is always an oil for any result you want to see on your skin. Is it an acne-free skin, a soft well toned skin, stretch marks fading, lighter supple skin, as long as its conceived, and it's a desired result you want to see on your skin, then there's an oil for it. 

While lavender oil remains the most versatile, used for anything ranging from burns to fading stretch marks, my favourite oils for now still remain peppermint oil and rose oil. 

There's always something a woman will need an oil for.  The spraying of tea tree oil to stop the presence of mould growing on clothes in a damp wardrobe, the freshness of air when you add lemon oil to just a little water and spray the room, the fact that you can make an homemade toothpaste with peppermint oil, and get your hair to grow back with others, keep dandruff away with some and.... The list is almost endless. 

I can say I love essential oil. And the reason is simply endless.
