How beneficial is aromatherapy for beauty treatments?

Aromatherapy also termed as apothecary is you at home fragrant pharmacy dates as far back as fourth century BC where burning certain aromatic plants offered protection against contagious diseases.
Treatments with essential oil not only boost the sensorial experience of the product. It Helps to nourish the skin and can stimulate cellular renewal. The skin that covers our body reacts to our emotions, so that people under stress often find their skin becoming dry and taut, and in severe emotion states, dehydrated.

Hormonal changes produce spots and blemishes, as well as increased oiliness with dry patches. Climate also affects face and body skin. Hot weather can produce lumps and bumps as well as dryness ad wrinkles, while moist damp air has a beneficial effect and gives the skin a dewy texture. Cigarette smoke can age a face by making it grey and wrinkled, and pollution has the same effect-which is why we seeing more and more young women with prematurely ageing facial skin.
Cellular regeneration is the key to a youthful skin, and essential oils provide a way of doing this which is far more pleasant than the most recent methods which involve using fetal cells. The nutrients and proteins in essential oils help to maintain the mattress- like bounciness of collagen, upon which the outer layers of skin rest, and encourage the regeneration of new cells. The circulation -stimulating properties of the oils oxygenate the blood which in turn energizes the cells, allowing regeneration to take place. Some oils do this particularly well. Other oils such as fennel contain hormonal – like properties, and these encourage the firming of the skin, giving it a more youthful appearance.

Tell us about a few skin types and type of aromatherapy which can be done?

Essential Oils make marvelous face oils. In this section treatments are given for three types of skin and, in general, you need 30 drops of essential oil for each 30ml base oil, unless specified. If you want a more intensive treatment, use 45 drops of essential oil.
