The Base Oils

Before you apply them to the skin, essential oils should be diluted with ‘base’ oils. Use any of the following or a combination of the oils. The following oils are widely available and particularly recommended in anti-ageing formulations.

The Base Oils

Evening Primrose Oil

Regenerative and good for prematurely aged skins; using the contents of capsules- from health food stores – may be the most practical method

Featuring vitamin A and high in vitamin E; antioxidant. Good for dry, mature and prematurely aged skin and scar tissues.

For facial oils, use a 1-3% dilution, being sure to measure carefully. So to each 15ml of base oil, you add 3-9 drops of essential oils. Choose from any of the oils listed above – or blend two or three together, always staying within the dilution guidelines.

4. Pour about 5ml of blended oil into the palm of the hands. Rub hands together and apply the oil with both hands in long, sweeping movements, across the décolletage, round the shoulders, up the neck, across the cheeks, nose and forehead.

With the fatty pads of your thumbs under the chin, apply pressure up against the jaw-bone from the point of the chin to the corner of the jaw-bone, moving the thumbs a short distance at a time. ‘When you find an area that’s sensitive or tender, just keep working on it gently, until it eases up.’ Repeat the procedure from chin to jaw-hinge.

8. Place the pads of your fingers just on the jawline, gently touching. Press, then move the fingers along slightly. Press again. Keep moving the fingers to the edge of the jaw; go back to the beginning and start again.

9. Using the pads of the fingers, which are now separated, make tiny, tiny circular pressures on the cheeks, in rows from the jaw-bone up to the top of the cheekbone. Your little fingers should end up under the middle of each eye.

10. Using the pads of the fingers, apply small circular pressures in the line across the forehead, starting at the centre and finishing at the temples.

11. With the tips of your ring fingers, circle around the eyes on the socket bone, inwards under the eyes towards the nose, up onto the eyebrows and outwards, to complete the circle.

12. Place the thumbs just underneath the inner brow bone and apply pressures upwards along the ridge of the eye socket, moving the thumbs slightly each time. Keep going till just about the midpoint of the brows. This technique is especially soothing for those who suffer from headaches and eyestrain.

13. Place the pads of the fingers on the lower ridge of the eye socket bone, and press. Then move the fingers slightly outwards and press again. Repeat.
