As winter approaches, I become concerned about protecting my skin against the cold wind and other drying elements. This gets me thinking about natural ways to protect and moisturize my skin. What can I use that is natural, not too expensive, and will fortify my skin? What do I already have in my cupboard that could be used as a base oil for aromatherapy? I took a survey of the saturated and unsaturated fats in my kitchen. |

Test #1: 2% ratio (for 1-ounce of carrier oil): I have wanted to put together a blend of Neroli, Ylang Ylang, and Sweet Orange for a while – this is a good blend for the end of the day, for a relaxing bath and/or massage. Using the 2% ratio for 1-ounce of carrier oil, I first made a synergistic blend and did the patch test with the blend on my right inner elbow. Neroli: - Latin name: Citrus aurantiun var.
- Properties: Antidepressant, antiseptic, antispasmodic, bactericidal, carminative, cicatrisant, cordial, deodorant, digestive, stimulant
