Essential Oils Slow The Signs of Time From Your Skin
March 30, 2007
I enjoy pretty scents, don’t you? I love working with fragrance so much that I make my own scented lotions, facial scrubs, massage oils, room sprays and more, using essential oils and the proper unscented carrier.

Add a touch of sandalwood and you’ve got a blend of fragrance that will melt any stress and take you to a tropical island all in one whiff.

Personal Care Products Can Lead To Cancer

National Institute of Occupational safety and health found 884 chemicals used in personal care products and cosmetics are known to be toxins. The numbers of products used by adults and children that contain potent carcinogens are very high.
