The other essential oil I find useful in aromatherapy skincare recipes is rose oil. Rose oil is fabulous for sensitive skin and for mature skin. Rose skincare is also a very luxurious pampering experience. I bought a bottle of rose otto and used that sparingly for year. That was more precious to me than gold. Nothing can compare to a single drop of rose otto in a bottle of unscented body lotion. It makes bed time lotion applying an immense pleasure.

Be careful though. So many imitation, fake or adulterated rose oils are found in the market. Never trust the cheap ones. You should not apply any of the fake rose oils on your face. You never know what side effects you may get.

I would however recommend

Rose Otto Essential Oil 1/8 oz

For a wonderful moisturizer, add 1 drop of rose otto to 30ml of avocado oil for a wonderfully nourishing facial oil. You could use it from head to toe for all over skin pampering.

Avocado Pure Carrier Oil 4 oz

If you prefer, you could add 1 drop of rose oil to 30 ml of sweet almond oil for a nourishing and fragrant facial oil.

Almond, Sweet Pure Carrier Oil 4 oz

If you want to use these fragrant oils as hydrating moisturizers,

	wash your hands,
	put a few drops of the fragrant oil in the palm of your hand.
	Put of few drops of pure water in your hand.
	Rub your hands together to mix the oil and water.
	Pat onto your face.

When you mix any essential oil with your skincare, always test first on your wrist for allergies or skin irritation. Essential oils are very potent so be very careful when using them.

Alternatively, as a beginner, you could use the flower waters as toners as they milder and safer.

If you find rose oil too costly, so you could use rose water for your aromatherapy skincare recipes instead.

You can also use rose water as a toner.

Flower Water, Rose 4 fl oz

For a pampering face mask,

Mix together

	1 drop of rose otto in
	2 tablespoons of rice flour with
	2 to 3 tablespoons of water.

Wash your face. Apply on clean dry face.

Leave on for 10 minutes.

Rinse off.

Alternatively, you could mix

Chamomile, German Essential Oil 1/8 oz Some people find excellent in their aromatherapy skincare recipes. That does not work for me. Every one's skin is different.

Caution: Before trying any essential oil on your face, apply on your wrist first. If no irritation occurs, then you can apply your mixture on your face.

Always dilute essential oils before you use them.
