Join us for a restorative workshop learning about the healing properties of essential oils. The session will be an introduction to aromatherapy and how essential oils can be used to support our skin as well as our mind and body.
Together we will explore a range of essential oils and how these can be incorporated into remedies for both face and body. You will be able to make two personalised products to take home including a face or body oil (this could also be used on hair or beards) and a herbal facial toner. For each product you will choose from a range of natural ingredients and plant extracts to make something suitable for your skin type.
The session will cover:
An introduction to aromatherapy for supporting both mind and body
What essential oils are and how they are extracted from plants
A number of practical ways to incorporate essential oils safely into your daily routines
Principles of mixing different oils and natural ingredients together to create blends and your own products
How to combine carrier oils and essential oils to make a face, body or hair oil
How to combine hydrosols, glycerites and plant extracts to create either a moisturising or balancing facial toner

“Nat was great, super sweet, and explained everything very clearly and patiently. The content was great and everything was explained very easily that I got encouraged to start experimenting on my own right away :-) It was a lovely Saturday morning activity shared with a very nice bunch of curious humans.”
“Very well structured. Fun, social and highly educational.”
