If using a roller bottle, fill it up to the neck. Add 10 drops of each Essential Oil. Cap the bottle and gently flip it over repeatedly to promote thorough mixing of all ingredients. HOW TO USE IT/BENEFITS Begin by preparing the skin with a cleanser, exfoliant, and toner.

As the blend cools, gently but thoroughly stir in a maximum of 20 drops of the Essential Oil(s). Pour the blend into molds and allow it to harden before taking out each bar. Depending on the size of the mold, this recipe may yield approximately 12 lotion bars. HOW TO USE IT/BENEFITS Hold the lotion bar and rub it gently on preferred areas of dry skin. Though Lotion Bars remain solid and smooth for a good grip in the hands, with the help of body heat they soften, melting lightly and steadily into the area of skin being massaged and leaving it and the hands moisturized without making them uncomfortably slick. Lotion Bars release rich and aromatic hydration that enhances the skin’s suppleness. Beeswax hydrates, tones the skin by moisturizing, and protects the skin against the abuse of the elements.

HOW TO USE IT/BENEFITS After shaving, apply this balm to damp skin to calm irritation, to nourish, and to leave the complexion feeling smoother.

He might be a first-time Dad, have a football team of children to watch over, or be juggling work outside the home with his ever-growing domestic To-Do list. Whatever his story, he’s often sleep-deprived, overwhelmed, confused, and distracted. Though he loves his family, he’s desperate for some time to himself, away from the constant commotion around him.

This frustration can sometimes be even more pronounced when it comes to dealing with a parent-in-law, someone that you might love and respect but not necessarily someone that you can relate to in the way you might be used to relating with your own parent. This can often lead to agitation and a turbulent relationship, but gifts have a way of speaking when people can’t. With their pleasant scents, Essential Oils may help improve the situation as Dad-in-Law comes to associate their harmonious fragrances with pleasant memories of you!	Harmonizing & Comforting Neroli Yarrow Geranium Helichrysum Chamomile Sandalwood Frankincense	These oils are reputed to encourage deep feelings of happiness, gratitude, nostalgia, optimism, positivity, and general emotional healing, which may help to reinforce the strength of the bond shared with Dad.

As with all other New Directions Aromatics products, Essential Oils are for external use only. It is imperative to consult a medical practitioner before using these oils for therapeutic purposes. Pregnant and nursing women are especially advised not to use Essential Oils without the medical advice of a physician, as they may have effects on certain hormone secretions and it is unclear whether these effects are transferable to babies at these stages of development.

Those with the following health conditions are especially recommended to be advised by a physician: cancer, heart-related ailments, skin disorders or allergies, hormone-related ailments, or epilepsy. Individuals that are taking prescription drugs, undergoing major surgery, or who are at a greater risk of experiencing strokes, heart attacks, or atherosclerosis are also advised to seek medical consultation prior to use.

Prior to using any Essential Oil, a skin test is recommended. This can be done by diluting 1 drop of the Essential Oil in 4 drops of a Carrier Oil and applying a dime-size amount of this blend to a small area of skin that is not sensitive. Essential Oils must never be used near the eyes, inner nose, and ears, or on any other particularly sensitive areas of skin. Potential side effects of Essential Oils include redness, rash, hives, burning, bleeding disorders, decreased speed of healing, low blood pressure, dizziness, headache, nausea, diarrhea, convulsions, and rapid heartbeat.
