Merry meet everyone, Today I am going to be speaking to you all about creating your own magical oils. This will be in a couple parts because I want to give you as much information as I can to help you make the best oils your can within your home. Magical oils are always a great way to enhance your spell crafting and a lot of witches use their own oils daily. As you will know by last months posts is that I have such a big collection of essential oils that I use to create my own blends for my daily life as well as my magical one. The information I will be sharing with you will only be touching the surface and giving you a general over view of each essential oil because I want to encourage you to do your own research into the oils you are drawn to. Today's post will be introducing you to the base oils you will be able to use to create your blends. You need a base oil to water down the oils so its not harmful on your skin. You will also know that I have a good collection of the base oils that I use to create the blends. I don't have all the base oils but got the ones I know I will use. Bare in mind you don't need to get everything at once. Everything I own has been collected over many years of use. Base oils: Apricot kernel oil: This is good for all types of skin. It is very rich and nourishing, Particularly in vitamin A. It has very little scent and absorbs into skin quickly. Avocado oil: Small amounts of this oil are typically added to other carrier oils in order to enrich protein and vitamin content. Coconut oil: This is used to create a barrier on the skin. It is also the preferred oil for high-quality cold process soapers. Grapeseed oil: This is the preferred carrier oil for many massage therapists because of its light, satin like finish. It also has some astringent qualities and is good for oily, acne-prone skin. Jojoba oil: This oil is more like liquid wax. It closely resembles the sebum of the skin, and is rich in vitamin E. This promotes a glowing complexion. Rose hip seed oil: This oil is extremely high in essential fatty acids and is known to help treat dry, irritated, weathered skin. It is also suitable for applying to scares and stretch marks. Not for acne-prone skin. Safflower oil: This oil is very popular in massage blends as it its easily absorbed and can be washed from sheets without heavy straining. Also a popular industry choice for moisturising cosmetics. Sesame oil: This oil is rich in vitamins E and B and in minerals such as calcium, magnesium and phosphorus. It is an excellent emollient. When diluted with other carrier oils it is popular for massage. Sweet almond oil : This oil is an excellent emollient and is known for its ability to soften and re-condition the skin. It is rich in proteins and vitamin D and is considered extremely nourishing. Can stain sheets though. Wheatgerm oil: This oil is used for beauty. Simply blend a small amount into the skin or hair. It helps with cracked and scarred skin, giving it an even tone. Its also in hair products because of how well it helps maintain the hair. This oil also can be used to irradiated skin such as dermatitis. I hope this post has helped you understand the base oils a little bit more and that it gives you an idea which ones you would like to get for your magical oil. You can also use vegetable oil which some witches do as its cheaper but then you wouldn't be able to use it as a skin product. As always you can follow me on instgram @paganvibesonly to keep up to date on all this blog and witchy related. I hope you are all keeping safe out there with this virus going about and I will see you all in the next post. Blessed be x PaganVibesOnly x Comments are closed.
