Guest guest Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 we can't forget elemi. that is one of the best mature skin oils. fennel is one of the best for wrinkles. also as far as bases - rose hip or apricot kernel. i would choose apricot kernel as it is said that rose hip can go rancid quickly although i personally have not had that happen, but i use apricot kernel for my customers to prevent that. i also agree that olive oil is wonderful but it can overpower the blend as it is quite strong in itself. i have one customer that won't let me use olive oil as she says she can't smell the oils - all she can smell is the olive oil. it could be used at 25% w/one of the other bases. > I am in my 40's, and everybody tells me my skin looks great for my age, and i look 10 yrs younger than my actual age. > > first of all sunscreen is most important. use day moisturizer with > sunscreen, and if u r going to be long hours outdoor use high spf sublock lotion secondly always remove makeup gently, es p eye > make up, as the skinaround eye area is v. delicate. > > i use a combination of frankincense, rose, sandalwood, fennel and lavender for my night oil i make enough for a month, and like to use other combinations such as geranium, neroli, chamomile but frankincense is my top favourite. > > i've never tried heli, is it good for wrinkles? > > tc > Jay > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 fennel is a stronger oil. i would only use 7 or so per ounce for the face. frankincense is also a great oil for wrinkles. , " Lori VanScoter " <lvanscoter wrote: > > How much of a percentage of fennel does one need to use for wrinkle assistance? > > > - > charvmann2 > > we can't forget elemi. that is one of the best mature skin oils. > fennel is one of the best for wrinkles. also as far as bases - rose > hip or apricot kernel. i would choose apricot kernel as it is said > that rose hip can go rancid quickly although i personally have not > had that happen, but i use apricot kernel for my customers to prevent > that. i also agree that olive oil is wonderful but it can overpower > the blend as it is quite strong in itself. i have one customer that > won't let me use olive oil as she says she can't smell the oils - all > she can smell is the olive oil. it could be used at 25% w/one of the > other bases. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
