Make Rosemary Skin Oil

Make Rosemary Skin Oil


Rosemary is known as an invigorating herb. Easy to grow, rosemary is used in many natural remedies. Rosemary skin oil can help relieve acne and heal dry skin. Rosemary oil also helps to stimulate circulation, which will lead to a healthier appearance. While commercial oil is available, it is often packed with fillers and other ingredients that do not promote skin health. Making your own rosemary skin oil is simple and will alleviate any concerns over the ingredients.


Instructions


1. Place 1 cup dried rosemary into a pot. Make sure the rosemary is completely dry, as any moisture will cause the oil to separate and spoil.


2. Add enough olive oil to cover the rosemary completely. You can also experiment with other oils, such as almond or sesame. Heat the oil over low heat for 2 to 3 hours.


3. Allow the rosemary oil to cool until it is warm to the touch. Strain it through the cheesecloth and into a clean jar.


4. Store the rosemary skin oil in a tightly sealed jar. To use, rub a small amount into the skin daily.
