Skin Types and a Few Recommendations

There are far too many natural plant materials to mention each one here, but below are a few recommendations for essential oils, hydrosols and unscented oils that generally correspond with the most common skin types. Essential oils are highly concentrated, so only very small amounts should be used in skin care products. Start with no more than a drop of essential oil for each tablespoon of product that you make.
