Helichrysum Face Mask

Helichrysum Face Mask

Did you know helichrysum has been called the “immortal flower” or “everlasting flower”? This is because of its major rejuvenating benefits for the skin, as well as its use in antiaging products.

Taken from the golden flowers of the helichrysum plant, Helichrysum essential oil has a honey-sweet aroma and is—no surprise—a favorite skincare oil. When used topically, Helichrysum can help give your skin that “immortal” feeling as it refreshes and rejuvenates, especially when it’s used on the face.

Want to make the power of Helichrysum essential oil work for your skin? Try this DIY Helichrysum face mask at home for the glowing complexion you’ve been dreaming of. 

Ingredients:

1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon coconut oil or jojoba oil
¼ ripe avocado
2 drops Helichrysum oil

Instructions:
​​​​​​​

  1. Mash up the avocado until smooth. Add the honey, coconut oil or jojoba oil, and Helichrysum oil. Mix well.
  2. Spread the mask over your face (and neck, if desired). Leave on for 15 minutes, then wash off with warm water.
  3. Apply moisturizer and enjoy your smooth, hydrated skin.

Skin aging involves the loss of collagen and elastin fibers in the extracellular matrix of the dermis and lack of support within epidermal layers. The enzymes elastase and collagenase are responsible for degradation of matrix fibers, therefore inhibiting their activity can reduce skin aging. Laboratory research shows that helichrysum essential oil inhibits both of these enzymes and could help maintain youthful-looking skin.

Mito2Max is a great product that promotes efficient production of ATP in the mitochondria of cells. This enhances stamina and efficient use of oxygen. Which in turn improves your overall energy and reduces the effects of fatigue and stress.

Weight Management

Grapefruit oil helps support a healthy metabolism. Combined with other oils of similar traits, dōTERRA® has created a blend they call Slim & Sassy. This blend stimulates the endocrine system, helps manage hunger cravings, calms your stomach and lifts your mood.

Sore Muscles

Like me, many guys like to exercise until it hurts. When it hurts, there is an oil blend that works great at relieving aches. This blend also nourishes muscles and joints.

Love Potion

In my opinion essential oils can improve sex as well. Some oils have aphrodisiac qualities and can be used to promote a healthy libido in both men and women.

Add this to your massage and watch your woman relax and get in the mood. Many women report these oils make their heart start thumping.
