Aromatherapy skin care line-up of products can also be used in a bath setting. Collection of soaps and lotions can be used for the bath and various butters and oils after the bath. This combination of both used together helps the products soothe deeper into the skin pores and work their magic in the skin as opposed to just the surface. Using products properly gives hours of relaxation and enjoyment.

Starting the Aromatherapy Skin Care Treatment:

Before beginning with an aroma treatment for the skin, you need a small brush up i.e. the skin must be properly cleaned with a combination of vitamin E oil and seaweed (marine plant). This removes the make up, dead cells and debris on the outer layer of the skin and prepares the skin for aromatherapy.

The key to aromatherapy skin care lies in matching the individual skin type with the essential oils. It is not necessary to use the same oil at all times. Choose the oil which suits your ideology or mood. The list below will help you in making your decision:

* Lavender: Balancing, soothing, normalizing and clarifying the skin.
* Eucalyptus: Purifying, balancing, cooling and invigorating the skin.
* Peppermint: Revitalizing, refreshing, cooling and energizing the skin.
* Ylang Ylang: Sensual, romantic, euphoric, exotic and allures the skin.
* Bergamot: Normalizing, confidence building and uplifting the skin.
* Lemon: Energizing, uplifting, refreshing and strengthening the skin.
* Clary sage: Tones the skin, balances the emotions and lifts up the senses.
* Chamomile: Soothes, balances and freshens the skin.
* Rose: Decreases stress, grief and stabilize the body atmosphere.
* Sandal wood: Emotional stability, soothing and balancing.

Depending on the skin, a combination of oils is used.

Oily skin:

A combination of lavender, bergamot and Clary sage is mixed with rose water or orange flower water. This combination clears the pores and leaves the skin fresh.

Massage should be done in circular motions and the movements should be gentle. This can also be added to bath water, but the results will not be as good.

Normal skin:

A combination of lavender, Clary sage, lemon and chamomile is used for balancing, toning and refreshing the skin. Massage should be done in circular motion with slow to medium pats. This combination can also be added to the bath water.
