happygirl 163,
A reviewer on MUA has these facial oil recipes. I've copied these directly from her
note pad. Looks like a lot of trouble though and would probably cost just as much as buying Decleor's.
-Cheri
-----------------------------------------------
FACE OIL RECIPE:
1 OZ. KUKUI NUT OIL
6 DROPS YLANG YLANG OIL
3 DROPS LAVENDAR OR GERANIUM OIL
2 DROPS BAY LEAF OIL
1 DROP ROSEMARY OIL
MIX IT UP IN AN AMBER GLASS BOTTLE AND MAKE SURE TO SHAKE IT UP BEFORE EACH USE!
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE HAD LUCK WITH DECLEOR YLANG YLANG AROMESSENCE, I HAVE FOUND THIS TO BE A GREAT CHEAP REPLACEMENT. YOU CAN SUBSTITUTE THE KUKUI NUT OIL WITH HAZELNUT OIL IF YOU LIKE, BUT IT MUST BE REFRIGERATED AND MADE IN VERY SMALL BATCHES AS THE SHELF LIFE IS NOT VERY LONG. I CHOSE KUKUI NUT OIL TO REPLACE IT FOR PRESERVATIVE PURPOSES, AND FIND IT WORKS JUST AS WELL. IF YOU ARE PREGNANT OR BREAST FEEDING, DO NOT USE THE ROSEMARY OIL...IT CAN BE TOXIC TO BABIES. I REPLACE GERANIUM OIL WITH LAVENDAR OIL IN THIS RECIPE WHEN I MAKE IT SIMPLY BECAUSE I HAVE IT ON HAND, BUT GERANIUM OIL MAY BE USED IN PLACE OF THE LAVENDAR FOR A PRODUCT MORE SIMILAR TO DECLEOR.
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO LOVE CLARINS LOTUS OIL, IT MAY BE MADE THE SAME WAY, REPLACING THE ESSENTIAL OILS AS FOLLOWS:
5 DROPS LOTUS OIL
3 DROPS ROSEMARY OIL
2 DROPS LAVENDAR OR GERANIUM OIL
1 DROP SAGE OIL
1 DROP CHAMOMILE OIL
LOTUS OIL CAN BE VERY HARD TO FIND, BUT IS AVAILABLE ON THE WEB THROUGH THE FOLLOWING LINKS:
http://www.somaluna.com/product.asp?p=149
http://www.goemerchant7.com/index.cgi?ST=buy&Action=add&Merchant=cloakofwisdomn&ItemNumber=S4
AGAIN, KUKUI NUT OIL MAY BE REPLACED WITH HAZELNUT OIL IF YOU DESIRE AND YOU CAN USE EITHER LAVENDAR OR GERANIUM OILS WITH SIMILAR EFFECTS.
MOST OF THE ESSENTIAL OILS CAN BE PURCHASED THROUGH WHOLE FOODS OR ANY HEALTH FOOD STORE. IF YOU ARE HAVING TROUBLE FINDING KUKUI NUT OR HAZELNUT OIL, I HAVE FOUND THE FOLLOWING E-STORES TO BE VERY REPUTABLE AND HAVE GOOD RETURN POLICIES AND FAST SHIPPING :
http://www.thesage.com
http://www.brambleberry.com/index.html
http://www.cedarvale.net/index.html
HOPE THIS HELPS SOMEONE SAVE SOME MONEY (AND THEIR SKIN)! |
