Carrier oils have very different components and constituents and knowing how to properly formulate with them can make your product STAND OUT. Using them incorrectly leads to final products that do not do what they are intending to do~ they can be too oily, too drying, the wrong energetic or just poor consistency.

Hi! My name is Michelle and I am the owner and creator of this site and this course. I have been practicing natural skin care in both personal and professional areas for decades now. My most valuable insights have come from practice and really getting to know the natural materials that I use. The techniques and exercises that I used to learn about oils is what I have based this course on. It is a way to learn without needing to read and study for 10 years. I know you will be able to apply this knowledge to any oil and other ingredients in general (not to mention in other areas of your life as well).
There is much technical information to learn in the natural skin care industry, but it doesn’t need to be boring or like reading a textbook. All of this information is accessible through tapping into your own intuition, once you have the basics down and an imprint of each oil in your mind.
This isn’t fluff!!
Imagine your favorite scent for instance. What comes to mind? What do you feel? Is this anything you could read from a textbook? Could textbooks replace your experience? Of course not!
This Course is unlike others in that it will help you create permanent impressions of each oil, therefore allowing you to use and formulate products with ease and confidence.

Increase the potency, uniqueness and effectiveness of your commercial or personal blends by learning all about oils. Deal with your skin conditions in an empowered way rather than continuously searching the internet trying to find answers!

I am offering these natural winter skin care tips both to prevent damage to the skin and to help the body to heal quickly and easily if you’ve already experienced irritation from the cold.

This time of year is transitioning into KAPHA time, which in Ayurveda represents the cold and moist element. It is actually less drying than the VATA time (late fall/early winter), yet it is winter and it is cold :)
How do we protect our skin from the harsh cold and fluctuating moisture?
1) Use deeply moisturizing, heavy oils and do some “deep conditioning” at night. I really like argan oil nowadays, with its high levels of vitamin e and squalene, it is downright silky! Another good choice is extra virgin olive oil. When you apply oils make sure to put them on damp skin. Also lie on your back for about 5 minutes in bed to allow the oil to really soak in. You may also need to re-moisturize midday if your skin is dry. I like 100% Pure’s green tea set and will spray my face with the toner and then apply a thin coat of the lotion. This works wonders!
2) Embrace the cold. This is about using those wonderful adaptive strategies that our delightful bodies have. Go OUTSIDE several times per week for shorter periods of time (like under an hour). Being properly clothed is important though, especially protect the kidneys and the neck (both places where heat can “escape”) with warm fabrics. Going outside in the cold keeps our wondrous adaptive bodies in line with the elements. Too much indoor heat actually makes us more susceptible to cold and less tolerant of it. Then the skin will really get bongo when you do go out!
3) Heavier butters and waxes can create a protective layer on the skin if you are doing outdoor activities. Sure, you might be kind of glossy, but your skin will be literally buffered from the wind. Shea butter is a great one to consider or a balm or salve made from healing herbs like calendula or comfrey. All of those are great to PROTECT when going out into the cold and also to SOOTHE cracked, dry and otherwise damaged skin!
4) Not counter to number 2, though it may seem that way…drink nourishing, warming beverages. HOW will this help the skin you ask? Nourished skin is healthy skin and healthy skin can withstand harsh environmental conditions much better.
