skin care productsI enjoy skin care products as much as the next woman, but I also like to add some personal touches to my collection of skin care products. I have found that some essential oils have beneficial effects. Rosemary oil is a good thing to add to skin care products, as is rose oil, although rose oil is incredibly expensive. A 3 ML bottle is around $20 online. My local health food store sells it too, in larger sizes, and it's almost $50 there. But the benefits from rose oil don't stop with the skin. Apparently it also helps the heart. Since skin care products are absorbed through the skin, using small amounts of rose oil could be a way to safeguard the heart and the skin.

Another great oil to add to skin care products is jojoba. This is inexpensive, compared to the other essential oils. Jojoba is commonly found in shampoos and hand lotions for its healing properties. The oil is also a good carrier for other essential oils as well. Concocting your own skin care products or enhancing them can be a lot of fun.
