Essential oils have been used for centuries in black skin and hair care products.  The temple walls in Egypt provide us with images reflecting the use of oils, incense and herbs for treatment of skin, hair and feet.  Yes, even foot reflexology benefits from the use of essential oils.

If you know their purpose, you can even maximize the benefits of essential oils in your home.  Room sprays, perfume, bath balms and diffusers provide great aromatic potions for you and your home environment.

You’ll find some familiar and not so familiar essential oil used in black skin care products on a daily basis.  They bring great benefits to your skin.

When using essential oils for black skin care, you’ll find geranium, rose and lavender are favorites for normal skin.

Eucalyptus, ylang ylang, rosemary and basil are good choices for oily skin.  Sandalwood, vetiver and palmarosa are used for dry skin and for combination skin, you would use the respective oils for that skin area.

If your beautiful black skin is maturing, rosehip seed oil is great and neroli, lavender, rose and geranium will work wonders.  Add a few drops to a carrier oil and you’ve just created a potion for your skin.
