Tansy or blue chamomile are used for greater anti-inflammatory effect. Their deep blue colors are indicative of their natural cooling effect. Blue tansy has an absolutely delicious aroma, smelling like a berry patch deep in the forest. Both are included in many natural health skincare formulas for all sorts of dermatitis including itchy allergic reactions which often occur in the summer heat. If you or your child’s skin is particularly sensitive, either one of these oils will make an important addition to your formula.
Everlasting, also known as Helichrysum essential oil, is a skin healing super-power. Included in almost every therapeutic-grade skin healing blend, Helichrysum contains an array of natural anti-inflammatory and regenerative constituents. It is an absolute must for mature skin, or when skin has really been over-exposed to the sun’s rays. It has a great many other uses as well, and will be a welcome addition to your aromatherapy medicine chest.
Two exceptionally wonderful essential oils for after-sun protection for mature skin are frankincense and sandalwood. These two specialty oils have remarkable protective actions — both have been researched for their anticancer activities, sandalwood particularly for skin cancer. Frankincense has been researched for therapeutic benefits for mature skin, actually resulting in diminishing the appearance of fine lines and smoothing skin texture. They do their work in completely different ways, so including them both in your recipe isn’t a bad idea.
