As V-day rounds the corner consider anointing yourself with Rose essential oil. This oil’s classic strong floral scent is intoxicating and romantic. When applying this essential oil to your wrists, neck, or over your heart, you can visualize yourself floating in a bath of thousands of rose petals. Over 12,000 rose petals are steam distilled to produce a 1 oz bottle. The scent of this oil is instantly uplifting, and brings harmony and balance to the emotions. Rose essential oil also increases feelings of self love and confidence.
Used as a beauty product for thousands of years, Rose essential oil is specifically for aging and dry skin. It helps improve moisture levels in the face by making the skin more permeable to moisturizers while softening fine lines and wrinkles. Additionally it improves skin tone and reduces acne and rosacea.
Here are some of our favorite ways to use Rose Essential Oil:
~ A dab over heart, wrists, and behind ears to induce feelings of love
~ 10 drops mixed with epsom salts and dried rose petals for a luxury bath

~ In an essential oil diffuser to create and uplifting, romantic mood in a room
~ Mix a few drops with a carrier oil of your choice like jojoba or coconut and apply to face, neck and decollate to enhance skin tone, glow and feelings of love
