How to use essential oils correctly
It is not enough to choose a few essential oils for regular use. It is important to understand how to use them correctly to achieve the best results. To do this, you need to take into account the following recommendations:
- You should not use essential oils in their pure form in the fight against wrinkles. They need to be enriched with regular cream or added as an ingredient to a homemade face mask. Milk, cream, honey or olive, almond, sea buckthorn and other oils with similar properties can also be used as a base.
- Before using a new essential oil on your face for the first time, you should do an allergy test. To do this, apply a drop of oil to the area of skin behind the ear and observe it for 8–10 hours. If no redness or irritation appears, you can use the oil.
- It is possible to combine several essential oils with a basic base (castor oil, linseed oil, wheat germ oil). The combination of components should be selected so as to mutually beneficially complement each other in their beneficial properties.
- Do not overuse the amount of essential oil. For single use, only 2-3 drops are enough.
- You can apply creams or other products enriched with esters only to a clean face. It is advisable that the skin remains moist after washing. To do this, you can take micellar water, tonic or lotion, rosehip decoction or tea.
- The best time for treatments with essential oils is evening. Since it is during sleep that the processes of skin renewal are activated. At night, the influence of cosmetics applied the day before comes in very handy. However, this does not mean that you should not use special cosmetics in the morning. During the day, the skin no less needs support and protection.

Use of sunflower oil for face and body skin care
There are three main ways to use vegetable oil to care for the dermis of the face.
Pure, without additives, sunflower seed product can be used to rejuvenate the dermis around the eyes - smooth out wrinkles, get rid of bruises and bags under the eyes.
Below are the main ways to use sunflower oil on the face.

A cream made from vegetable oil is an excellent replacement for night cream. Its properties extend to both the dermis of the face and the entire body.
Buttercream can be prepared at home. The following is a recipe for an anti-aging cream.
Required ingredients:
- ½ medium onion;
- 5 dandelions;
- 100 ml sunflower oil.
Onion and dandelion are finely chopped. These cream components are seasoned with a sunflower seed product and mixed. The resulting mixture must be heated over low heat for ½ hour. Then it freezes for about 12 hours. After the mass has cooled, it must be strained. The cream is ready.
The cream is applied to the desired area of skin in a circular motion, like a massage. You can pat this area of the dermis. A third of an hour after application, the cream is removed with a napkin.
Compresses
It has been said more than once that a product made from sunflower seeds is an effective remedy for facial wrinkles. The main way to use processed sunflower seeds is in compresses.
Step-by-step instructions on how to make an oil compress:

Oil compresses can be applied to all areas of the face. To do this, you need to prepare a mask from cotton or gauze fabric. Holes are cut into the fabric for the eyes, nostrils and lips.
Cosmetologists recommend contrast washing after the procedure. This type of washing promotes blood circulation in the dermis of the face, and therefore helps the beneficial substances to be absorbed faster and better.

Coconut oil is a super-nourishing product that can instantly transform your skin. However, it has one significant drawback - high comedogenicity. This means that in some cases, along with nourishing and restoring the skin, you can get clogged pores and even subcutaneous acne.
We strongly recommend not using coconut oil on your face if you have oily, acne-prone skin. Unfortunately, it is also not suitable for normal skin with enlarged pores. But for dry thin skin - ideal.
However, if you are afraid of clogged pores, but really need to nourish your skin, use this life hack: mix coconut oil with a non-comedogenic base oil. Grapeseed oil works great here as it is very light.
Another alternative for skin with enlarged pores is coconut milk. Unlike oil, it does not clog pores.
Now let's move on to the recipes.
With almond oil
Widely used by manufacturers of many cosmetics, almond oil is suitable for eliminating various problems. It can make your face look younger, eliminate acne, provide adequate nutrition and soften rough skin. It is used for all types of facial skin.

Face mask for acne
Mix a spoonful of calendula flowers and St. John's wort, pour a glass of boiled water, leave for 20 minutes. Add a spoonful of almond oil and the juice of half a lemon.
Mask for oily skin
Pour a spoonful of mustard powder with warm water, add sour cream (low fat) and almond extract.
Anti-inflammatory composition
Prepare a decoction of birch leaves by pouring a glass of boiling water over a small amount of the plant. Pour in almond oil and 3 drops of lemon balm essential essence.
Recommendations for the use of sunflower oil
Before using cosmetics to improve your skin, you must adhere to at least 3-5 recommendations from the following list:
- You should buy a product that is cold-pressed and does not contain additives.
- It is recommended to warm the sunflower seed product slightly (water bath) before mixing it with other ingredients.
- Before using sunflower oil-based cosmetics, it is necessary to check your skin for an allergic reaction. To do this, apply a few drops of the product to your wrist. If after 25-30 minutes the characteristic features of an allergy (burning and redness) do not appear, then you can use sunflower oil for cosmetic purposes.
- Before the procedure, the skin of the face must be washed using herbal baths. It is advisable to scrub oily skin.
- Masks are applied with light movements and patting. Refined sunflower oil without additives can be applied to the wings of the nose, as well as around the eyes and lips.

Cautions before using oil masks
The main condition for using face masks is regularity. The rule “the more often the better” does not work. One procedure per week is enough, otherwise you can achieve the opposite effect to what was expected.
Adhere to the following principles:
- Before the mask, steam your face or treat it with a scrub;
- a warm mask is more effective than a cold one, so heat the compositions to body temperature or slightly higher, but within the limits of comfort;
- the skin perceives the mask better when at rest, so during the 15-20 minutes that it works, try to take a horizontal position, relax your face, and tune in to pleasant thoughts;
- the neck and décolleté area also needs care - do not deprive these areas of attention when you apply the mask;
- rinse off the composition with warm water without using soap - alkali dissolves fatty acids and neutralizes the entire effect.
Always use ingredients that suit your skin type. Test the product for individual sensitivity before first use.
With sea buckthorn oil
In addition to its anti-aging properties, it is also famous for its healing (extracting sea buckthorn fruits can lubricate damaged areas on the face) and nourishing, which makes it indispensable for dry skin types. You should be aware that it has a coloring property, so masks with it should not be overexposed (the optimal time is 15 minutes).
Nourishing mask
Mix cottage cheese (2 tbsp) with a spoonful of sea buckthorn oil.
For hydration
Combine an equal amount of sour cream with sea buckthorn extract.
For wrinkles
Heat a small spoonful of honey and combine it with a tablespoon of sea buckthorn extract.
Each of the listed oils has unique properties, so finding the right one for yourself will not be difficult. When skillfully combined with other ingredients, you can get a complete replacement for cosmetic creams and lotions. To do this, you need to take into account your facial skin type and be aware of the properties of a particular oil.
