As promised on Monday's Seasonal Podcast, below is the story and recipe behind my encouragement to sprinkle your face with oil.
My 40th birthday gift to myself was a fancy face oil and I find the
application process to be an act of kindness and compassion. Placing a few
yellow drops from the glass pipette onto my fingers and gently massaging it into my skin
is a daily action of self-care.
While in Paris this summer I spent a day cooking up all-natural beauty products with Amanda Cook of Vintage Amanda (interviewed on Tranquility du Jour Podcast #319). We made face oil, meditation oil, perfume, and a soothing balm. The scents permeated my rented Paris apartment with love.
Below is a picture of the yummy rose, sandalwood, and jasmine face oil concocted that day and the recipe:
10% rosehip oil
10% jajoba oil
20% sweet almond oil
60% sunflower oil
12 drops of rose, jasmine, and sandalwood essential oil
Ready to make your own? Here are a few Savvy Sources to enlighten the process:
Happy face oil making. Your skin will thank you. And glow. Bisous. x

Luxury face oils are so lovely. I like to buy different carrier oils and essential oils so that I can mix according to my needs and whims. I will certainly try this recipe.
