Here are some lovely Ayurvedic Skin Oil recipes. Use this as a general guide, and please experiment with scents you really love. I believe what you are drawn towards, is what your body needs. I also like to add a teaspoon or so of Vitamin E Oil. These oils are great for doing a nurturing skin oil massage, or just a splash in the bath makes for a bit of heaven. I rub my and my son’s feet before bedtime for a deep sleep.
