Help selecting essential oils to apply topically to the skin?
I currently use avocado, tea tree and coconut oils for my skin, and with great results! I'm wondering if there's a comprehensive resource (link please) that has info. on all of the essential oils. Also, are there ones that you personally would recommend/not recommend? Thank you!
Personally, I use Organic Rosehip Oil on my face every night. I order mine from www.rosabay.com. Rosehip oil benefits brown spots, premature aging, dry skin, burns, scars, etc. You can go to this website and read about the qualities of it or do a search on "benefits of rosehip oil". They also have a great line of body lotions, etc. Or, you can add the rosehip oil to your own favorite lotion. It is quite inexpensive and this oil from Rosabay seems to be superior to any other that I have found in the U.S. (Theirs comes from New Zeland.) I am 48 years old and people guess my age at 38-40. That is quite a compliment. Just to note, I have used this on my face for about a year now.

The oils you listed are not essential oils. They are 'base' or 'carrier' oils. There are very few essential oils that can be used without dilution on the skin. Are you interested in adding essential oils to your base oils for use on the face and body? http://www.eoils.net has an interactive search engine as well as a bio of all essential and base oils offered.
