You can also use this oil as a body moisturiser too but I use a homemade body butter on my legs, hands and lips each night before bed. You can find the body butter recipe here.
Essential Oil Face Moisturiser 
I use a 100ml amber glass bottle 


  •  Half fill with a carrier oil (I use combo jojoba & macadamia)
  •  Small amount of Vitamin E
  •  Small amount of Witch Hazel (optional)
  •  10-20 drops Lemon essential oil
  •  10-20 drops of Rose Geranium
  •  10-20 drops Lavender

- You can add any essential oils you wish if you don’t have or like the above oils
- Put the lid on give the bottle a few light turns upside down before use (no need to shake)
- You only need the smallest amount, a little goes along way 
- Keep away from direct sunlight 
- My bottle usually lasts me 2 to 3 months


BENEFITS OF MACADAMIA OIL
- great for sensitive skin
- amazing healing and regenerative properties
- anti-aging agent that repairs damaged skin
- contains squalene, oleic and palmitoleic acid, which makes it a great natural moisturiser
