New & Improved Rosacea Blend for Even Skin Tone
ROSACEA Blend Spritzer!
___________________________________________
Not long ago, I shared the Rosacea Blend, a favorite EO blend that I rely on everyday. However, soon after that blog post I've become somewhat of a Witch Hazel devotee and as per my life, I updated! I'm convinced that if I'd known about this natural elixir earlier I'd have fewer life lines now. If I could place blame of my ignorance on my Mom I would but she's perfect so I can't!
A bottle of quality Witch Hazel should be every EO users BFF IMHO, right there beside FCO. There will be a quiz on the acronyms later ;)
Here you see my elegant (hip & humble) labeled Rosacea blend with Witch Hazel instead of fractionated coconut oil as called for in the original post.
The new spray variation using a quality Witch Hazel is worth this update. The healing qualities of Witch Hazel are right up there with EOs and less expensive. Investing in a bottle like this sets you back approximately $9 and will last quite a long time.

Rosacea Blend RECIPE
___________________________________________
20 drops Helichrysum
20 drops Frankincense
20 drops Sandalwood
5 drops Rosemary
Witch Hazel (over 350 4 to 5 star reviews)
Add EOs to a 2 oz glass spray bottle and top with a quality Witch Hazel and shake gently to blend. The Witch Hazel will turn cloudy, it's just the EOs emulsifying...it's a good thing! Spritz the "rosy" areas on your clean face morning and night.
There's something so refreshing about a spritz of cool, pure clean on your face morning and night, the Rosacea blend with Witch Hazel fits that feeling brilliantly.
Yes, I'm all about Witch Hazel these days, I've been combining it with EOs any chance I get.
Oh by the way...have you tried PURE EO Deodorant with Witch Hazel? So simple, so healthy! To learn more {CLICK HERE}.

This particular product by Thayer is my favorite by far, my skin drinks it in right along with the EOs. Don't even get me started about it's fragrance ~ so nice!
Love your skin & put your best face forward!

FYI, Puritans Pride has this witch hazel on sale for $5.59 and I ordered 3 bottles of it! Smells awesome. Also, is there something else I could add to this spray to also help with acne/blemish issues to kill two birds with one stone (and just spray all over my face)?
All the witch hazel I've been able to find has alcohol in it! I read through the ingredients list on amazon and it appears to contain methylparabens...isn't that one of those things people are trying to avoid these days?
I would think a few drops of Tea Tree EO would do the trick.
According to http://www.thayers.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3&products_id=14&zenid=2diu51kk696otl3jcobluc7oj6, ingredients are: Purified Water, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf (Certified Organic Filet Of Aloe Vera), Glycerin (Vegetable), Fragrance (Natural Rose) Hamamelis Virginiana (THAYERS® proprietary un-distilled Witch Hazel) Extract, Rosa Centifolia (Rose) Flower Water, Citric Acid, Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) Seed Extract, Tocopheryl (Vitamin E) Acetate.
Awesome! Maybe Amazon hasn't updated their ingredient list in a a while. I went to the Thayer's site and indeed they advertise as paraben free!
Happy! Happy!
I don't think I have Rosecea, but my face does stay red alot! I'm going to give this a try when I get all the EOs listed.
I want to thank you for all you do, I had never tried EOs before trying your sister's Jeddy's Blend and some of the things you've posted. I've signed up to be an IPC for doTerra and have a FB page. I wanted to ask permission first, but I'd love to share your blog with people to let them know the ways they can use oils. Thank you so much! You're like a mad scientist coming up with all kinds of awesome ways to utilize EOs!
Also, I totally got Witch Hazel on your recommendation, but I got the unscented with aloe vera kind. I love anything with aloe vera! Will it still work in this recipe?
Thanks Shana, I love what I get to do :)
Absolutely!
So I'm going to stir things up a bit... according to this forum thread (http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php/83154-Witch-Hazel-Question), real Witch Hazel has 14% alcohol in it, which is a result of the distillation process, acts a preservative and has antiseptic properties. (so for the person asking about acne, maybe use regular witch hazel instead of the alcohol free version).
I'd like to know if the alcohol-free version is better for rosacea treatment or if either can be used.
Thanks!
Michelle
I'm going to stick by the alcohol free version, it's been fabulous in every aspect.
Do you mind if I put links of your site on my FB page? You're so knowledgeable, I think it would help my friends and family see the ways they can use the oils. I wanted to ask first because I can't stand when people put stuff up that's not their own.
I have HORRIBLE acne scars and this blend has helped sooo much! I use it about once a day, I try twice but I forget sometimes. It has made all the difference. I used your manuka honey recipe and added heli and sandalwood. I use that twice a week and I no longer have adult acne. My red scars have now faded to a light pink and look better than they have in years!! yay!! Can you make a thyroid recipe for hypotyhroidism please? Thank you for all you do Rebecca! It is much appreciated :)
Can't thank you enough for continuing to provide your followers with great EO recipes! I have referenced your website a number of times so that others can learn more about effective uses for their EO's. This specific recipe has helped three clients of mine. They no longer use their rosacea Rx meds! Happy Happy! One shared the success of the EO's with her nurse practioner who "pooh-pooh'd" her usuage of the EO blend. Next week she plans on asking her Doctor who prescribed the Rosacea meds what he thinks. I told her not to expect him to believe her and her success with the EO blend. Thanks again for all you do.
I don't have rosacea but I do have broken capillaries around my nose, making the whole area red. Would this help the redness from it also? If not, what oils/blends do you recommend for that? Thanks in advance!
Yes Cindy, this would be a great option for broken capillaries.
my esthetician told me not to use the alcohol version because the alcohol actually will dry out the skin and create more acne as a result... just an FYI
What can you substitute for Sandalwood?
Susan, try Lavender :)
Hi
I am interested in trying the rosacea blend. Is that something I can order online as a blend or do I need to buy each oil individually? If I need to buy it individually would 5ml be enough to get 20 drops out of? It looks like an investment to buy each oil individually - just trying to gauge what I'm getting for the investment!
Many thanks for posting this.
Yes, the oils would need to be ordered individually. A 5ml bottle contains approximately 150 drops - should last you awhile :)
I buy my oils from Native American Nutritionals. They have Helichrysum gymnocephalum which is $45 for 15ml, or Helichrysum italicum which is $150 for 15ml. Which one should I buy for this blend? Thanks!
Italicum is my recommendation.
Hi! Love your blog! I am having a bit of a problem tho. Many of your pages have the ingredient lists with amounts right next to where your "button" is and the html is covering the amounts. Ive tried changing the zoom (both in and out) to see if that would help but no go. Any advise?
I dont have sandalwood yet...will this still be helpful to make and try without?? Any other suggestions??
