There are all kinds of different kinds of problems that people have with their skin and there is a different kind of treatment for each individual problem. Some people suffer from broken capillaries in the skin. This is the finest branches of blood vessel system that are in the face that can sometimes become broken.
This problem is usually concentrated in the cheek areas of the face but it can affect the entire face in some individuals. This problem of broken capillaries seems to affect people who have delicate and fragile skin. This could be due to the fact that they just show through the skin and they don't in people with thicker skin.

You should use 45 drops of essential oil to every 2 tablespoons of your base oils for your problem skin with broken capillaries. These oils are hard to blend together so you should always shake up the bottle a few times before each use just to make sure that they are blended together well.
When storing homemade facial products you should store them in a glass bottle with a screw on lid that is airtight and the bottle should be a dark color something like amber or cobalt. This will help to keep the light out and keep the products fresh.
Remember, you should always test a small area of skin before you try a product on your entire face just to make sure that you don't experience an allergic reaction to the new facial product.
