This is a wonderful rejuvenation treatment to restore your natural glow, using all natural oils, plus the power of essential oils. Do this treatment once a week. In a few weeks you will notive the difference to your skin’s health and radiance!
Steep two chamomile tea bags 10 mins or so before the treatment (so they will be infused but not hot. Retain the tea for your toning spritz and put the tea bags in a cool place until you need them.
Warm 5 -10ml of our Warm Oil Mask. (place it in a small bowl and place that in a bowl of hot water to warm the oil).Â
Use a mask brush, foundation brush or pastry brush to lightly apply the oil to clean, dry skin on the face, neck and decollete in upward motions. If your hair is dry or brittle, brush some mask into your hairline.
Massage in briefly with light strokes – and add a little more if the oil absorbs immediately, but you don’t need lots for a positive effect. Little & often is better.
Get your tea bags ready – squeeze them out & keep them near you.
Relax for 10 mins, ideally with your feet up & the tea bags on your eyes.
Blot excess oil off with a tissue, then compress off with a warm, wet flannel.
Notes
Do this ideally once a week for six weeks minimum. Add any excess oil to the backs of your hands. You can wear the hand mask overnight if you wear cotton gloves.
Foot Spa Ritual
While not strictly a ‘beauty’ treatment, this foot spa ritual is amazing for anyone experiencing overwhelm, fatigue, insomina.

Add 6 – 8 drops of Deep Rest Blend & agitate the water before putting your feet in the water for at least 3 minutes. Try for 8 minutes. It will feel like a long time!
Next bring your feet out and dry them with a warm dry towel. s.
Add one drop of Deep Rest Blend to about 10ml of any carrier oil and massage it into your feet, one at a time.
Wrap a warm, wet flannel around each of your feet, then your towel around the flannels, so you have your feet in a coccoon.
Rest for a further 3 minutes before toweling any residual oil off your feet. If you do this shortly before bed, you could use Sleep Support in place of Deep Rest and put cotton socks on straight after massaging the oil on and leave wear them to bed.

Essential Oils For Skincare
Mandarin Essential Oil
Mandarin essential oil moisturises, softens and helps strengthen skin. Mandarin also has a tonic-like effect and is clarifying – it is particularly good on congested skin. Mandarin helps with uplifting, calms a racing mind (and thus is excellent in both morning and evening rituals).
Add additional drops of Mandarin in the evening if you often wake and can’t switch your brain off.
Note: Avoid sun exposure after topical use.
Bergamot Essential Oil
Bergamot helps tonify & cleanse when it comes to essential oils. In general, Bergoamt is a go-to for uplifting and is used in almost all blends designed to lift the spirits, recover from feelings of sadness or grief – or just stressful situations.
Oily skin can be balanced by adding a drop of Bergamot to your moisturiser at night.
Note: Avoid sun exposure after topical use.
Lavender Essential Oil
Lavender essential oil is a cellular rejuvenator, anti inflammatory, softener & healer in skincare and is a very common ingredient.
Lavender helps calm irritated skin, heal damaged skin and helps soften & rebuild cellular damage due to environmental & oxidative stress.
Lavender is used in almost every blend related to calm, rest, sleep, recovery – so it is not a surprise that it is also a key ingredient for skincare
Cedarwood Essential Oil
Along with Lavender, Cedarwood is used for cellular rejuvenation and inner cleansing. It is effective in restoring hair loss and in all skin conditions where flaking is present – including scalp conditions and mild ezcema.
Cedarwood is used at times of of high stress and overwhelm, so it can be used in all of these rituals to ground you and help you feel calm & collected.
Cedarwood is in our Warm Oil Rejvenation Mask and is great for hair!
Lemon Essential Oil
Another from the citrus family, Lemon essential oil is the one to add to your moisturiser at night if you have broken capillaries.
Use lukewarm water rather than warmer water in this situation also.
Lemon essential oil is commonly used on oily skin to control sebum production.
Note: Avoid sun exposure after topical use.
Ylang Ylang Essential Oil
Ylang Ylang is the balancer for oily and combination skin. When applied topically in skincare, it balances your skin. Unlike the citrus oils, it is not photosensitive so can be used in the morning.
Ylang ylang is also commonly used to reduce feelings of anger, anxiety & hypertension, so is useful both morning and night and call be added to any ritual as required.
Avoid on inflamed skin. Be aware Ylang Ylang may cause you to feel a bit heady if you use too much.
Geranium Essential Oil
Geranium is quite a common ingredient in products that promote healing and cellular repair. Geranium also functions as a sebum normaliser, as an antiseptic and astringent – so is used in both oily & dry skin situations – teamed with citrus oils and ylang ylang for oily skin remedies, or with Lavender & Cedarwood for mature skin.
As an essential oil. it lends emotional balance, in particular, helping during emotional changes including menopause or times of high stress or distress.
Do not use on inflamed or open skin.
