ESSENTIAL OILS AND BOTOX
Although Botox may be the solution for some people, if you’re looking for a “Natural” way to fight aging, essential oils and products made from them can not only make your skin look younger and healthier, but it’s sure to you won’t finish looking like you’re made of plastic.

A QUICK OVERVIEW OF BOTOX
Simply put, every time you laugh, smile, frown, or do just about anything else with your facial muscles, wrinkles are caused by the underlying contractions of these muscles. After years of making these expressions, the wear and tear on your face begins to show and the lines begin to become permanent. That’s where botox comes in. After being injected into the affected area, the botox temporarily paralyzes these muscles so you can’t make these expressions. This is why people who have had botox injections can begin to look like mannequins.

You’ll still have enough movement to appear semi-human, but not enough to cause the wrinkles. So in fact by taking these botox injections they make you look younger. Botox is not cheap and the average cost of a single Botox injection in the United States is approximately $350. This also depends on which area of ​​your face you are receiving the injections. The area around the eyes is more expensive, costing between $400 and $900 per injection. For large areas like the forehead, Botox injections can cost between $600 and $1,300 each.

Essential oils are very different from botox in every way. They are not only a natural alternative to botox, they are a powerful alternative. The right essential oils can be used to tone, treat acne, scars and blemishes, smooth wrinkles and age marks, create a healthy glow and bring skin back to life.

*Make sure you are using therapeutic grade organic essential oils. Therapeutic-grade essential oils can be put directly on the skin or diluted with a carrier oil for easier application.

4 OF THE MOST POPULAR ESSENTIAL OILS TO RESTORE SKIN HEALTH AND BEAUTY

SANDALWOOD
Sandalwood has a mild fragrance and is extremely moisturizing. One of the ancient healing oils used for the skin in biblical times, it is useful for removing wrinkles and scars and renewing tired skin.

LAVENDER
Lavender is often called the “universal oil”. It is good for everything and harmful for none. (Unless you’re using hybrid lavender or an artificial substitute.) *Real lavender is very hard to find and labels can be misleading. Lavender is good for the skin, softening and soothing, and amazingly healing for burns and blemishes, but it can be drying.

MYRRH
Both frankincense and myrrh essential oils are wonderful for the skin. Myrrh was known in the ancient world as balsam and was used to treat almost everything. This thick, resinous oil is often considered invaluable for treating rashes and blemishes caused by warts, eczema, and bacteria. (But be careful about its source: Inferior-quality myrrh, processed from the resin, can contain solvents and chemicals that make it unsafe to use directly on the skin.)

TEA TREE OR MELALEUCA
Melaleuca is another essential oil that has many uses. When it comes to the skin, it is useful for cleansing and soothing skin with blemishes or acne. It also helps heal blemishes and relieves congestion in the skin.
