Default Essential Oils!

I was just wondering if anyone uses essential oils as part of their skin care routine and if so which oils do you use and have you noticed a difference since using them?

I use tea tree oil on spots or on my scalp if it's playing up, it works well.

I am a firm believer in essential oils, but only very gentle ones for the face should be used! Rose hip oil is the best, also Calendula oil is fantastic! Pure cold processed olive oil is good too. The stronger ones have to be diluted with olive oil or calendula and such, like grapeseed extract is way too strong by itself but very high in anti-oxidant power!

I use tea-tree oil if I've got a really bad spot- usually clear it up pretty quick!!

I don't use a lot of essential oils, but I do like to put a bit of lavender and jojoba oil in the water in my spritzer bottle that I use to mist my hair. A bit of jojoba oil can also be used as a facial moisturizer.
