Feed Your Skin
Nutrition for the Skin Vitamins were first used and applied through the skin after the Second World War. Ex-prisoners with severe vitamin deficiency, who were unable to take them orally, were treated through the skin with successful results. Dermatologists have often recommended hormonal creams to post menopausal women that are applied to the skin. The extracts from plants in the form of essential oils can also be absorbed through the skin. Tests have been conducted on animals where essential oils have been found in their urine, half an hour after application.
A clove of garlic rubbed onto the soles of the foot of a baby could be smelt on its breath ten minutes later.
Over the last decade the skin has been used more and more for taking in medication.

Essential Oils
Essential oils are the volatile or end product of the plant metabolism. They are generated and stored by the plant in special cells and are extracted by steam distillation, cold pressing or effleurage - a form of extraction using fats. Scent globules can be found in different parts of the plant and this will influence the method of extraction such as flowers-rose, jasmine, neroli, roots-angelica, vetiver, seeds-anise, coriander, caraway, leaves-sage, geranium, thyme, bark-cinnamon, fruit rind- citrus oils an resin-sandalwood, frankincense.
Essential oils can be used to help correct the imbalances represented by the skin types. The oils can be used to reduce the amount of sebum being produced, and control the bacteria which thrive on the surface of the skin. Many essential oils stimulate the generation of new cells, which preserves the health and beauty of the skin.
