What is the difference between single essential oil and compound essential oil?

1. Single essential oil

It is an essence extracted from the whole plant or a certain part of a plant. It is extremely pure and can only be used on the skin after being fully diluted. Single essential oils are usually named after the plant, such as rose essential oil, lavender essential oil, tea tree essential oil, etc. Generally speaking, single essential oils require a large amount of plant materials to extract a very small amount, so the cost is extremely high and the selling price will not be too cheap. There is also a special case of a single essential oil that is a mixture of two plant essential oils. This type of single essential oil is not diluted with base oil and cannot be used directly on the skin.

2. Compound oil

Refers to a formula essential oil that is made by combining several single essential oils and then blending them with base oil, ready for immediate use. Generally, research and development manufacturers study the characteristics of various essential oils and make finished products after combining and blending them. If the formulated essential oil is to be applied to the skin, a large amount of base oil is needed to blend it. Therefore, the compound oil applied directly to the skin is also a mixture of multiple single essential oils and base oils in a certain proportion. Compound essential oils are different from single essential oils. In order to achieve different effects, the specific methods of use are also different. The biggest difference between compound essential oils and single essential oils is that they can be used directly on the face without further dilution.

How to use Afu essential oil on the face

1. Homemade toner: Afu essential oil can replace toner. After cleansing the skin, squeeze out an appropriate amount of essential oil and apply it on the face, gently patting until absorbed. You can also make your own essential oil spray. Put toner in a small spray bottle. When your skin feels dry, spray it on your face at a distance of a fist and pat gently.

2. Add to skin care products: In addition to replacing toner, essential oils can also be used together with non-essence skin care products such as toner, lotion and cream. Take two drops of essential oil and add it to an appropriate amount of skin care products, and use it like daily skin care.

3. Facial massage: Take an appropriate amount of essential oil and drop it on the palm of your hand. After rubbing it to warm it, apply it on your face from top to bottom. First, use your index and middle fingers to apply it from the forehead from the inside to the outside, and finally gently smooth out the forehead wrinkles; use the fingertips to slowly push inward in small circles at the temples; gently press in dots around the eyes; push and pull both sides of the cheeks outward and from bottom to top ten times; use the fingertips to push and pull the chin from bottom to top, and finally lightly scrape the chin contour.

4. Steam SPA: Take 5 drops of essential oil (depending on the situation) and mix them with half a cup of water. Add it to the steam machine, and when it starts to emit hot steam, you can put your face close to it to absorb it for about 5 minutes. Now a steaming facial artifact is ready.

5. Hydrating and moisturizing mask: Put the compressed mask into the essential oil, apply it on the face for 10 minutes after it is completely soaked, and then wash your face with warm water for daily skin care. Because the nutritional content of essential oils is so high, it is enough to apply an essential oil mask once a week.
