What is normal skin?
Normal skin has a smooth, soft,
fine texture. There's no obvious large pores, blemishes, blackheads,
flaking, oiliness, or broken veins. Protect this skin with light, gentle
moisturizers, cleansers, and toners.
Here are some DIY aromatherapy products to get you started.

Add all ingredients to a glass or PET plastic spray bottle and shake.
To use: Shake vigorously before each use. Mist skin, avoiding your eyes.
Normal skin usually only needs a light moisturizer. If you have a favorite unscented moisturizer, add a few drops of essential oil to the bottle. Or you can use olive oil, jojoba oil, coconut oil, or most other carrier oils with a few drops of added essential oil.
Restorative Moisturizing Lotion
Blend ingredients in a small glass jar and use as needed.
Moisturizing Oil
In a 4-ounce glass bottle, combine all the oils. Shake to blend. Store in a cool, dark place for up to one year. Use as desired, shaking well before each use.
