       Overview

      Among the unique properties of essential oils, the ability to regulate the level of hormones in the body that are responsible for preserving and maintaining youthfulness should be highlighted. Among them we can note the oil of myrrh, sandalwood, jasmine, ylang-ylang, rose, neroli, patchouli, etc. The high efficiency of their use is due to the phytohormones contained in the oils, which have a structure similar to human hormones.

      Some types of essential oils have a powerful antioxidant effect (juniper, rosewood, vetiver, myrrh, rose, etc.), they contribute to restoring the oxygen balance in our body, while eliminating the toxic effect of oxygen when it is abundant, thereby slowing down the natural aging of cells, enhancing tissue respiration and blood supply.

      The uniqueness of essential oils is that when applied in each specific case, their curative and beneficial effect is exactly directed to the area most in need. That is why it is so important to choose the right essential oil in this or that case. If this condition is met, the positive effect will be quite rapid.

      It is important to note that essential oil use for the skin, as a rule, is prohibited in undiluted or pure form (with the exception of some types that are applied directly to problem areas), since they cause a strong irritation of the skin surface. Therefore, they must be diluted in vegetable (base or carrier) oils before use. Basically they are used to enrich self-prepared creams and masks for face and body skin, as well as hair.

      For skin care, essential oils have a wide spectrum of action. They are used for any type of skin in order to cleanse, rejuvenate, increase firmness and elasticity of the skin, to treat irritations, inflammations, redness, acne, post-acne, etc. In the first part of the book you can find the skin type determination table.
