Essential Oil Dilutions for Your Face

Essential oils can be the miracle products in your skincare. But it's important to use them safely and correctly. It can be difficult to get them right, especially if you're new to essential oils. This is where essential oil dilutions come into the picture.

They are pre-diluted in Jojoba oil at 5%, making them ready to use straight out of the bottle. So say goodbye to guesswork and ineffective products.

But how do you choose the right essential oil dilution for your skin type? Let's find out.

But first, why Jojoba oil?

Jojoba oil has a ton of unique properties that make it the perfect carrier for diluting essential oils.

● It closely resembles the natural sebum our skin produces, making it easier to absorb.
● It is non-comedogenic, non-greasy, doesn't clog pores, and is suitable for all skin types.
● It is rich in essential vitamins, antioxidants, and fatty acids that moisturize the skin.
● It is relatively stable and has a longer shelf life than other carrier oils.
● It helps balance oil production and improve overall skin quality.

How to Choose the Right Essential Oil Dilution for Face?

Choosing the right essential oil dilution can be daunting with the million options out there. But we're here to help. We've compiled a list of some simple tips to help you find the right essential oil dilution for your face.

1. Your Skin Type

First things first - know your skin type. Do you have dry, flaky skin? Then a Neroli or Rose Otto dilution is a great option for you. Is your skin dull and lifeless? Then you must get your hands on the Tuberose dilution. Understanding your skin type is crucial to determine which essential oil works best for you.

2. Your Concerns

Different essential oil dilutions serve different purposes. Therefore, you must understand what you're trying to achieve. For example, if you're looking to treat blemishes or irritated skin, the jasmine dilution will work wonders for you. Similarly, the violet leaf dilution is ideal if you're looking to revive a lifeless complexion or soften wrinkles.

3. Ingredient Quality

When looking for essential oil dilution for the face, quality must be your top priority. Look out for essential oils with high-quality carrier oils like jojoba. Also, make sure they are pure and of therapeutic grade. This ensures you get products that are safe and effective. You must also carefully check the ingredient list to ensure you aren't allergic to anything.

Testimonial by Lisa Buckley

"As far as I am concerned, Quinessence stands alone in selling affordable, high quality products that deliver results.

In my opinion the market has recently become swamped with low-grade so called 'aromatherapy products' that often cause more problems than they solve, and usually contain unpleasant synthetic aromas and chemicals.

With Quinessence products you smell the difference instantly; I was so amazed with the quality of the Rose 5% Dilution essential oil I could hardly believe it had been diluted at all the smell was so lovely."
