5 drops of Patchouli 3 drops of Lavender 3 drops of Rose Add to 50grams of a base cream and apply to the affected area a couple of times daily. Patchouli is a great tissue regenerator so the above blend would be good for anyone suffering with very dry skin as well as acne and eczema. Never pour essential oils direct or undiluted in water or to your skin: mix a few drops of essential oil in a base oil, whole milk or cream, and add it to bath water, or a shower gel. 5 to 10 drops of essential oil are sufficient per 10ml of base oil.
