Massage helps essential oils in a short time to get not only under the skin, but also into the blood, and even into the lymph. As a result, the oils are delivered more quickly to the internal organs, providing a beneficial effect on the glands of internal secretion, liver, intestines and the nervous system.
The baths help the oils to contact the skin all over the surface and be absorbed in a short time.

Before you start using oils to revive your skin, you need to remember a few simple rules. Carefully observe them and you will achieve maximum effect.
Before you apply the oil, make a sample. Apply the oil to any area of the skin, wait about two days, and if there is no irritation, you can safely use it.
Essential oils, not previously diluted, can not be used. They must be mixed with milk, cream, honey or other ingredients that are used in home cosmetology.
Carefully ensure that essential oils do not get into the naslizistye shells. Especially neatly refer to the eyes: you can not only get a burn or irritation, but even earn such a disease, like the crime.
Do not use excess oil, in the hope that the effect will come sooner. Observe the dosage. Otherwise, you can achieve a diametrically opposite result. The skin becomes reddened, begins to peel off and its beauty will begin to decrease even faster. At the very beginning of the application of the oil, it is necessary to observe the minimum dosages, so experts say. It is pointless to argue with them and it is not necessary. For example, in a sauna or steam room, where essential oils are used, you can not stay more than five minutes. This is the same applies to the baths. They must be taken with a minimum dose of oils, gradually increase the volume. However, you do not need to cross the boundaries and exceed the limits.
When you do rubbing, massages, wraps and compresses, with the use of essential oils, do not forget to monitor the amount of liquids drunk. Its volume should not be less than two liters per day.
In women with fair skin, irritations may appear, despite the correct dosage. This does not mean that the oils need to be abandoned completely. It is enough simply to reduce the dosage several times, and wait a while until you get used to it. Sometimes the oils are mixed with base oils in a ratio of 1:15.
Essential oils of citrus fruits, as well as several others, can exhibit phototoxicity, so in the sun after their use it is unnecessary to leave at least three hours. You can not use oils for a quick tan. You can get burns and irritation, as well as pigmentation spots that are unlikely to raise your spirits. Especially phototoxic oils of lemon, grapefruit, shisandra, cloves, orange, thyme, cinnamon, levsea, citronellimilite, caraway seeds and bergamot. However, when applied inward, the oils will have the most healing effects. You can quickly tan, get an even tan and never burn. Do not use the oil inside without the permission of the doctor. If you have permission, you can consume, but not more than three drops per day.
Pregnant women can use oils after the permission of the doctor. You need to buy only quality, real oils, because others can get the opposite effect and health problems. However, it is better to forget about aromatherapy than to use cheap essential oils.
