Information

In Australia's harsh climate our faces are often the first to suffer. But this need not be the case. Ideally we should always wear at least 15+ SPF sunscreens and/or hats when outside in the sun, particularly between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. when the sun is at its harshest (even in winter). And nightly use a rejuvenating oil blend with oils chosen specifically to nourish, replenish and repair.

You'll find that these blends are so fine that they do not leave a greasy residue. The oils are chosen because of their nourishing qualities and their ability to penetrate deeply below the epidermus where they have the greatest benefit. Some oils such as carrot seed, evening primrose and vitamin E are known for their skin repairing properties. You will find with these blends that they may reduce the appearance of fine lines over time with continued use, as well as leaving the skin supple and rejuvenated.

Method

1. Accurately measure out the ingredients into an amber, blue or green glass bottle. When all ingredients are added, cap and shake well so they incorporate fully. You may need to shake the bottles from time to time before use.

2. I recommend only making small quantities at one time so that the blends are always at their optimum.

3. Because so little is needed these quantities do last a long time. You may like to refrigerate, particularly in summer, to ensure further longevity.
