Here are some of the most common ingredients for a home-made face mask and their benefits:
Cucumbers -- Cooling, soothing and healing. The classic at-home eye pad. Or you can peel cucumber and put it in a blender with some other ingredients.
Avocado - rich in vitamins A, B1, B2, D and E and oil. A good choice for dry and sensitive skin.
Honey - Has hydrating, toning and tightening effects.
Papaya - Contains papain, a protein-digesting enzyme that dissolves the dead outer layer of the skin. Don't use if your skin is already irritated or sunburned.
Eggs - Egg whites tighten and tone the skin.
Yogurt - Contains natural lactic acid, which helps exfoliate the skin. It can be used alone as skin softening face mask and is appropriate for all skin types.
Potatoes - Use thin slices for oily skin or to reduce under-eye puffiness.
Herbs - Herbs and teas such as chamomile (soothing) can be used as ingredients for face masks and compresses.

God was the first aroma therapist creating the aromatic molecules of plants to not only reverse illness, but to preserve our health and prevent future sickness from manifesting
-
The molecular structures of essential oils are small enough to penetrate human skin, enter through the lung alveolar cells, pass through the blood brain barrier, pass through cell walls, even act as chemical messengers to communicate with cellular intelligence at the level of DNA.
-
The medicinal properties found in these molecules contain enough healing properties to cover every cell in our bodies. One drop of essential oil contains 40 to the 19th power. That’s 40 with nineteen zeroes in one drop of oil.

Essential Oils and Aromatherapy: Raise Your Frequency with These Divine Gifts - 0 views
-
The volatile essences of aromatic plants contain potent, complex, natural chemical compounds that work at multiple levels to catalyze physical, emotional, and spiritual healing.
-
the oils’ most important, and at the same time, most under-explored, factor, is their inherent frequency—their intact Life Force Energy and intelligence.
-
using oils purposefully for communion with your Spirit is powerful, not only because of the interaction between you and the oils, but because of the intention you are expressing with your actions and thoughts. Before meditating, praying, or shamanic journeying, try putting a drop of your favorite high-frequency oil in your palm, and then use the index finger of your other hand to activate it by stirring it clockwise several times, dab it on your third eye, temples, and heart, or wherever your intuition suggests, before rubbing your palms together, cupping them in front of your face, and inhaling deeply. This will catalyze an instant rise in frequency, so that the “rest of you” is vibrationally closer in frequency to your Spirit.

We enjoy essential oils not only as vehicles of various grades of therapeutic activity. We believe that essential oils are also messengers from the cultures from which they originate, and that they also embody the relations that people have developed with their healing herbs. For us at OSA this means that while it is certainly desirable to cultivate Lavender in as many places as possible there is also an allure and magic to the Fine Lavender from Provence that the globalized transplants rarely match.
