  1. Lavender is my favorite. I have dry skin, so this helps a lot. I ordered some more oils online, so that I could experiment with them more! Thanks for your blog, it's extremely helpful.

    1. Just remember that the action of oils is totally dependent on how well they were distilled and the quality of the plant material. If you don’t get good results it can be totally due to the quality of oil you are using. Many grocery oils have only about 5% oil in them and while they smell good you won’t get the same action as a high quality oil. I’m happy to send you a small sample of YL Lavender if you would like.
