Thanks for a great video. So many on you tube go on and on and on for 10 minutes, saying nothing very educational. You are a very good speaker, informative yet to the point quickly.
I agree. I look at the length of the video & if I see if it's over maybe 25 min., I can't listen for something that's as long as a documentary or tv show. If it takes 1/2 hr or more, make 2. Some get off topic & having things to do, I can't sit through a 1/2 hr video. Anne is sweet, pleasant and stays on point. Love you Anne-Marie!
I would highly encourage everyone to dilute the essential oils. 1% is safe and effective especially for facial skin. Sensitization can happen which is systemic, different from skin irritation. Any of your favorite fixed/carrier/veg/fruit oils may be used or even an infused carrier oil. 1% is 1 drop per teaspoon or 6 drops/ ounce. If you find you're not getting results you want increase gradually, but not more than 3%. In addition to Frankincense and Neroli, if one can get past the smell, carrot seed essential oil is great for mature skin. There is also a fixed carrot seed oil so be sure to read description. You should notice a price difference too. Rose is said to be lovely too and while costly so little is needed.
+Saven Maven Hi! Thank you for the great information! I have carrot seed oil and agree with you on the smell....it's a tough one to take and I end up not using it as much as I should due to the scent. It helps when I mix a drop or two with other oils to mute the smell a bit. Thank you for watching and commenting with the info, I appreciate it! xo Anne
Some of my favorite essential oils that I've used along the way for skin health recipes are... tea tree, lavender, carrot seed, coffee, lemongrass, Frankincense, Patchouli, Myrrh, Rose, Rose Geranium, Geranium, Palmarosa, Bergamot and Rosemary. As for the carrier oils that I've used and like the most, they are Tamanu, Aloe Vera carrier oil, Neem, Cacay, Rosehip, Argan, grape seed and all with a touch of Vitamin E carrier oil added. It helps to keep them a little longer so they don't go rancid so fast. There are a couple things that I would like to mention. People need to do research on oils that they're wanting to combine because not all essential oils can be safely used together. If you're looking up information online, just make sure it's from a reputable source! Just because it's online don't mean it's the truth, LoL. The other thing that needs to be mentioned is that certain essential oils will cause phototoxicity, such as citrus oils. This will cause a darkening of the skin, which is called hyperpigmentation. Any essential oil that could have a phototoxic reaction should only be used at night. Again, I highly recommend reading on phototoxic essential oils so that you're aware of all that could be an issue! There's a wealth of knowledge online when it comes to this topic, and it can definitely seem overwhelming and confusing when you first start trying to learn about all of the health benefits from the oils! What I found to be a bit easier was to just buy a book on all essential oils. I have found so much information online prior to buying books, which I would then save in my notes or memos on my phone so I could find it again, and much easier and faster! Thank you Anne Marie for doing the videos. I Love to learn different diy skincare recipes, tips and tricks! Okay, I'm done. Sorry for the ramble, LoL ❤
Great information! I tend to only use my oils at night and absolutely love tamanu oil. Is the coffee an oil? I'll have to google it! I take it that would have tightening effects like with caffeine? You mentioned lots of things I want to look up, thank you! Lots of love xoxo
The 2 essential oils I use most often for skin care are carrot seed oil and calendula. Both are very healing on the skin and the carrot seed oil in particular helps improve skins elasticity. Calendula is very healing in that it helps clear redness or rashiness. My favorite is rosehip seed oil, I use it instead of a serum at night. It's rich in naturally occurring retinol (vitamin A) and is most effective if used at night.
helpfulnatural Thank you for the great info! Someone else mentioned they use carrot seed oil as well and like it too--that's one I'll have to look into and give it a try. Like you, I use my oils as a serum as well then I put my face cream on over them after they soak in a bit. Thank you again for sharing the wonderful information! xo Anne
amc tomy Yes, carrot seed oil is wonderful stuff. Don't be put off by the smell though, it's a bit strong and it does need to be diluted with another carrier oil but it does wonderful things for your skin, especially around the eyes. I make my own lip balm and in the winter I'll put more essential oils in it to combat drying and chapping. Calendula is great for that as well as Chamomile. It's to the point where no one in my family buys commercial lip balm anymore! Have a great weekend!
Cacay oil and rose hip seed oil are fantastic for us mature ladies looking to build collagen. Palmer's skin therapy oil is the best - combining 10 essential olis including rose hip, coconut, grape seed and argan oils, to name a few. Thanks, Anne Marie for all your great tips.
BTW...you're radiant and the viewer can see how your tips actually work because it shows on you. It's so inspiring. I love that your videos are chock full of great info, but short and to-the-point. Thank you, again for looking out. xo
I like rosemary oil for my face--It exfoliates after being on for awhile and seems to tighten...It brings everything to top and then you scrub face , feels so clean also
Please, don't ever apologize. I really love all of your videos you are my favorite Beauty TH-camr thank you for sharing your knowledge. God bless you and your family.
Hi! Thank you so much. These are wonderful oils for the skin (I just mix a few drops of each together in my hand and apply). I would definitely recommend them :)) xoxo
Hi..I totally agree with using essential oils for skin preparation and caring. I use a few drops of Lavender and Frankincense in Fractionated Coconut Oil and cleanse my skin with this.. I put the mixture into a spray glass bottle and then spray onto damp cotton wool pads.. I need very little mosturising after that.. it removes all make up and nourishes my lashes too! I use the brand doterra because of their purity 😊
Hi Kay! That sounds wonderful! I haven't tried lavender oil yet, but will look into that one. The spray bottle is a great idea too! Thank you for sharing this, I truly appreciate it and will give it a try! xoxo
I use rosehip seed oil is good to minimize and prevents the look of wrinkles the native people in Peru have being use it for thousands of years and they have a beautiful skin
Other anti aging from the inside: Brew of chicken bones or beef bone with organic animal bone ones if possible. Ad some white wine or apple cider vinegar in the cooking pot and make sure to not brought up to boiling point just at the limit of boiling point and cook for 4 to 6 hours. If it is a right cooking it should become jelly when cool off. Drink 3 cups per day and you'll never age!! Oh well almost !
castor oil is wonderful for the neck and forehead..amazing..without diluting.. of course, applied to the body it makes skin silky on the spot..Thanks for yr advice!
+Nevine. Abd Hi! I have and love castor oil as well. I usually put it under my eyes but will try it on the neck and forehead...thank you for the wonderful suggestion/advice, I appreciate it a lot!!! xo Anne
Lemmon grass, lavender and geranium are also great....You must always dilute oils with a carrieroils...that is extremely important....the only one you can use alone is lavender....
Yes, I agree, mine are all pre-diluted (I think they are mixed with grapeseed oil) but for those who get 100% pure essential oils it is important to mix with a carrier. Lots of love xoxo
I will have to try this blend! I've been using frankincense and adding helichrysum and also carrot seed. The carrier oil I use is rose hip seed oil since it is supposed to be good for aging skin. I'm saving up for rose essential oil...it's pretty expensive but a GREAT one for the skin.
That sounds like a great blend of oils! I've never heard of helichrysum oil but will look it up! I have carrot seed as well and occasionally add a drop of it to some of my oils. I've only tried rose oil blends and should really try a bottle of rose essential oil sometime. xoxo
yes! And it's miraculous! Add a drop of lemon oil and orange oil to tea. actually, I have an herbal mix that I use that is amazing, but the oils will literally transform your skin if ingested. I've never used in topically, but I'm guessing it would be just as amazing.
I just put about 5 drops of each in the palm of my hand and mix them together then apply to my face and neck. Mine are pre-diluted though so if you use 100% essential oils then you need to add a few drops of a carrier oil. xoxo
You can get a diffuser and get one to help your allergies too Ann. I have allergies year round and I take an allergy pill everyday. But certain times of the year are worse and I use other things too. Thanks for all the tips! Love you!
Thanks for the info, I don't have a diffuser so will look into that! I did start taking local honey which I heard helps and I think it does help at least some. Lots of love to you xoxo
Hey Anne, First off, You are so pretty with beautiful skin. I'm getting ready to turn 60 and the skin on my face looks good for my age as I've always used different healing creams throughout the years, however, I now have crepey skin legs with deep wrinkles on knee area and lower arms from having lifeguarded and instructed swimming in the south for years. I see you natural oils you recommend, anything else you would recommend? I enjoy your videos. thanks Lynne
Hi! Hmmm, I have heard you can use a dermaroller on the body to help tighten up skin, although I have not personally tried this (I do use one on my face and love it). You can add some of these oils to your body lotion and you could try a firming body lotion which might help a bit. Oh and maybe dry brushing the skin (again, I have not tried this but heard it is good). Those are the only things I can think of to tighten up body skin. I hope this helps some! I appreciate you watching! xoxo
Thank you for these tips! I am 51 years old and my husband told me I look 35. I am making my own creams etc. Just wondering your age. Your skin is beautiful
That is awesome! I love DIY skin care. I am currently almost 49 and I did this video a year ago when I was almost 48. What ingredients do you put in your cream if you don't mind me asking? I would be happy with looking 5 years younger so you must be doing something right!!! xoxo
best oils for skin tightening - carrot seed oil, geranium, clary sage, lavender, cypress oil - grapeseed or apricot kernel oil or argan oil as a carrier oil - also aloe vera oil is great - use it in the morning and use aloe vera gel as a primer under make up.
+sarah campbell Hi Sarah! I have been adding a few drops of the carrot seed oil to my mix and will have to give the others a try. Thanks so much for the wonderful suggestions!! I appreciate it! xoxo
I put pure frankincense essential oil directly on my face and my skin has never reacted negatively to it, plus I love the scent. I don't have sensitive skin. I also mix palmarosa essential oil with coconut oil (50/50) and have been using that as my deodorant for years. I do not put palmarosa on my face because that does sting slightly and I don't see it as a face oil, but it has no ill effect at all on the rest of my skin. I get my oils from New Directions Aromatics. You can get 3.3 ounce bottles of essential oils at such reasonable prices that I only order them every 1-2 years. I've experimented with so many oils for hair and skin, but frankincense, coconut, and palmarosa are my holy grails for every day.
I love oils and have not heard of palmarosa so thank you for sharing your info! I'll look that up and may have to give it a try!!! I appreciate it! Lots of love to you xoxo
Hi Anne Marie! I'm going to try your essential oil recipe on my arms. After menopause, they got so crepey! I'm looking forward to learning more from your videos :)
+Marissa Valdez Hi Marissa! Let me know what you think after you try it, I'd love to hear. Thank you for watching and for the wonderful comment! xo Anne
I thank you so very much for sharing this great information! I have to say this 'recipe' of oils definitely makes a difference. I saw this video 3 weeks ago and promptly purchased the oils, as well as rose hip seed oil, which I added in with the 4 you mentioned. I am pleasantly surprised with the results and have waited until now to post so that I had a few weeks of using it before saying anything. I can't exactly put my finger on what the difference is, but my skin looks better-- maybe fresher? I don't know, but I am excited. And again, thank you for sharing! Your videos are so precise, not too long, very 'to the point', without over the top intros/outros, and I have been watching them on the edge of my seat. Thank you for being on TH-cam!
S Marczewski Thank you SO much! Your comment made my day :) I'm so glad you gave them a try and after using them a decent amount of time shared your results with us all! Try putting several drops of each of the oils in your favorite body lotion too--it does the same thing for the skin on the body. I'm so glad you are enjoying my videos and finding some helpful tips. Thank you!!! xo Anne
Hi Anne...what type of carrier oil do you use? I am new to using essential oils but would love to try them. Have you tried oil pulling for your allergies? This has helped me so much. I also have a teaspoon of local honey every morning. These two "procedures" have made a world of difference. Loved this video and you look beautiful as always! xoxo Laura
Shake Up Makeup Thank you Laura! I do have some local honey and will try taking a teaspoonful everyday and see if it helps :)) I actually don't mix mine with a carrier oil (if you have really sensitive skin you should though) I just mix the 4 oils together and apply (my frankincense oil is already diluted when I bought it and I think it is diluted with grapeseed oil) . Some good carrier oils for the face are argan and jojoba (you don't need too much just a couple drops)--or if you have the Palmer's face therapy oil you could use it as a carrier oil too. Let me know what you think if you give them a try :) Thanks for the great info! xo Anne
finally got the satisfying video on essential oils... thanks dear.... i was so confused watching and reading complicated stuff on the same. i just bought lavender and lemon EO... can i use both together and directly on my face and neck?
I've never tried lavender EO, but did try the lemon once without diluting it and it burned my skin, so would definitely recommend diluting with a carrier oil. I haven't used the lemon since that time, although I have heard good things about both EO's. I would dilute them with a carrier but imagine you could mix them all together and apply. xoxo
You sound and look beautiful as usual Anne. Your hair looks awesome like that....Omg...My favorite classic style! I SHOULD CHOP SOME OFF MINE AND GO FOR THE LONG BOB. I have my bangs cut that way too...just more of a part (I always had amazing brows so I swipe mine to one side and tuck one side behind my ear. I actually like my ears...most people don't). My mother is always on my about getting my hair off my face because I am " supposedly" hiding my great God given profile...Please...I will be 80 and she will still be alive and thriving telling me what to do and point out anything not perfect as it is her job! I love my bed all white too....got a white tufted ...nice and low for Declan to enjoy too. It is the Tully Bed....you can check it out it is the most unusual but very modern cool bed. Google the white Tully Bed. Or White tufted Tully bed. You can't miss it. You look extra super pretty and all fresh and natural here. I NOTICE IF I stay more on the fair side and ease up on the bronzer it looks better.
Thank you so much!!! This is my favorite way I have ever had my hair and am now growing it out to this again ;) I grew it even longer after I had this style and then it started getting some breakage from some new products I had tried so I ended up cutting it in a bob above my shoulders :( Now it's down to my shoulders but this was definitely my favorite style in this video. I bet you would look great with a long bob! I think long bobs are so nice. Googled the bed and it is really pretty!!! Lots of love xoxo
Beauty By Anne-Marie I use it on skin mainly sometimes hair. Safflower oil is meant to be the best in trials for hair growth it even out shone minoxidil for hair growth apparently and is really quite cheap, a fraction of the price of minoxidil and no nasty side effects. Great channel you have btw! I’m obviously a subscriber and working my way through the catalog of your helpful videos. Who’d of thought Nivea cellulite serum works on eye bags. Absolutely fabulous hints and tips you convey and living proof what you say actually works. Keep it up 👍 🇬🇧
My big problem is eye bags. Big big eye bags! ESP in the mornings when I get out of bed, my eyes are always so swollen & puffy. I've tried so many things w/ no results
I have several videos on how I got rid of my age related fat deposit eye bags with a drugstore product if you are interested. If you type in the search Beauty by Anne-Marie eye bags some of them should come up. Lots of love xoox
Just saw your video on essential oils. I use Emu oil which is a transdermal with Frankincense and use it on my face and neck after cleansing with coconut oil. Really enjoyed this. Mhyrr is also a pain reducer but make sure it is food grade oil. Hugs
+Carol Zanatian Hi Carol! I hope you love the oils and find them very beneficial to your skin! I struggle with trying to make my skin look as good as I can with at home treatments and am more than happy to share any tips I come across that helps with anti-aging ;) I've been using a fade cream (trying 3 of them out) and will be doing a video on those soon as well since I think they help greatly to even the skin tone and make the skin in turn look younger. Thank you for watching and for the great comments and questions! xo Anne
How did you get to be so smart, Anne? I have not used any oils on my face, or neck, yet. The skin on my face is still producing oil. I fear, if I should add oil, my body will not get the message to make oil, Does this make sense to you? Timing is everything, and I want to be prepared it the oil faucet stops working. Loved this. Blessings....ME
+MaryEllen After 60 Hi MaryEllen! Thank you ;) It's just out of my desperation that I look into different at home anti-aging products. I don't have time or budget for the medspa and prefer to do things myself anyway LOL. Yes, I know exactly what you are talking about and I would have the same concern if I had oilier skin I think. They do say that oils can help oily skin but I don't know for a fact if this actually works or not since I have such dry skin. Plus, what works for one person may not for another even if they have the same skin type. I agree with you it's always good to have options for when and if things change ;) Hope you have a wonderful day sweetie! xo Anne
I have only had one facial in my whole life, and wouldn't know a medusa if I walked right by it, lol. I do not want the oil in my face to stop producing, but want to be ready when it does. You are such a lovely, intelligent young woman. I repeat you very much. P.S. Still working on my project, lol.
Great video Ann. I love you sweetie, all your videos are very educational and I appreciate that. Have you been using these? If you don't mind me asking.ifso, could you make a video for the "good" that they have done for you. I'm curious to know. Ty
Awesome video...my brother who sells essential oils says Thieves oil is one of the best to tighten loose skin after and during weight loss. You mix it with coconut oil or another carrier oil before you use it.
I should have said all but 1 of my essential oils are pre-diluted with grapeseed oil. I definitely recommend diluting them if they are 100% pure essential oils ;) xoxo
Essential oil for anti-aging and tightening the skin: FIRST, dilute with carrier oil (with proper dilution rules), then use. 1. Patchouli eo: anti-infammatory, reduces pores, tightening the skin. Good for neck area. 2. Myrrh eo: anti-inflammatory, impoves skin tone and elasticity. Good for crepey skin. 3. Frankincense eo: protects the cells, encourages cells growth, increases elasticity. 4. Neroli eo: stimulates new cells growth, reduces scars and pores, improves elasticity. Good for neck area and crepey skin. (Avoid myrrh when pregnant and breasfeeding).
Hi Anne, thank you for your videos. I look forward to trying some of your recommendations, oils, derma rolling... I recently ordered a 0.5 derma roller and am hopeful that I will be able to achieve the kind of results of great skin as you have. I have gone to a couple of aestheticians who say that derma rolling does not tighten skin just improves the surface texture and only offer micro needling with a derma pen instead. But basically it is the same concept of injuring the skin with tiny needles. The device is a Derma Pen. I have sensitive skin, allergy prone to irritants, break out in either hives or red pinpoint bumps with some products so and am a little bit apprehensive of putting oils or creams if I don't know how I will react so I need to approach carefully. What was your first experience with derma rolling and how did you start ? Any recommendations as to how I should begin? Keep the videos coming, really enjoy and find so informative, All the best, Dee
+Dee Rodriguez Hi Dee! Thank you so much for watching and for the lovely comment. I do find using a lidocaine cream before I use my dermaroller helpful for reducing the discomfort of the needling (be sure to wash off the lidocaine cream before you use your dermaroller). Yes, you're correct it is the same concept (basically the same thing) as the derma pen (just less expensive than going in to have it done by someone else--sometimes they go deeper than you might at home). I started slowly with the dermaroller...just using it once every 2-4 weeks with only 5-7 rolls in each direction. I roll only on my wrinkled areas or areas that I want more collagen produced (some people do their entire face but I don't). Be sure to sanitize the roller after each use with rubbing alcohol as well and I would just use what ever skin care you normally use at night time after rolling (I only roll at night because it does leave my skin red like a sunburn but is gone by morning). A couple of good creams that I find help with the irritation of rolling are: Weleda skin food (it's heavier and greasy but repairs the skin nicely and also Avene Citalfate repair cream) You probably already saw my videos on dermarolling and on post dermarolling products but I'll put the links here in case you haven't and are interested: th-cam.com/video/6dOuPz7KNQs/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/99ol3btJD6I/w-d-xo.html and one on the numbing cream: th-cam.com/video/35HRZNGq7Ec/w-d-xo.html I hope this helps! xo Anne
When you suggest to mix these oils with products like jojoba oil, is that in case your skin is sensitive. I don’t think my skin would be sensitive to any of the oils.i suppose it is a way to extend the oil. Do you ever put these oils on the morning, or just in the evening. I would think if you applied them in the morning applying your makeup would be difficult, as your face would be too greasy. This video doesn’t address the lips, but I’ll ask do you applied the lip treatment every night, and do you do the 25 derm roller every night. Seems like most of the treatments you do whether it be the hair, the lips or what have you, you do them 3 or 4 times a week. I’m planning to do the treatments every day. I believe the .25 roller you can do that every evening. You have been really good about answering me in a timely manor. Thanks for that :)
Thank you! Yes, mixing it with a carrier oil just so it won't be irritating (sometimes 100% pure essential oils are strong and can be a bit too irritating on the skin). I usually just applied them at night (I did put a few drops of each in my body lotion which I applied in the morning to my body). I do apply my lip 6x balm that I love every night and yes you can use the 0.25 every night if you want you are absolutely correct! Lots of love xoxo
+VictoriasRoses Hi Becki! They are my favorite facial oils and I have seen improvement to my skin. I would love to hear what you think if you get them and try them. Thank you so much for watching! xo Anne
Hi Anne, I'd love to try these essential oils on my neck. I'm just starting to use the Nivea Skin Firming & Smoothing Concentrated Serum on that area. Do you recommend putting on one first, waiting a while and then apply the others, or should I use the Nivea Serum at one time during the day and the essential oils at another time during the day?
I would apply the oils and let them soak in for a little while then apply the nivea as the last product on at night. I only applied the nivea at night (as the last product) so I'm not sure how it wears under makeup. Lots of love to you xoxo
Thanks so much, Anne! I just received my essential oils and the grapeseed carrier oil and can't wait to use them together with the Nivea Serum. I'll try to remember to come back and update you in another month or so.
Hi beautifull Anne..I have just found you and what a lovely lady you are.I am definetelly checking out your other videos,,it is my kind of information... I looved what you had to say about essential oils!..so many times I pass them by but now I really want to try incorporate them into my skincare routine. Esspecialy the ones for the eye area and tightening skin..oh.. I need that! Your skin is just gorgeous..good job. Keep those videos coming....thank you...sending you a big hugg....Jana
Jana Kleinerova Hi Jana! Thank you so much! I am so glad you like my videos and find the info useful! I'm glad you found my channel :) Hope you have a great weekend sweetie! xo Anne
What do you do to increase the collagen in your body? We lose 1% a year after age 25. Very interested in your thoughts. Would like to see a video on this.
Hi Michelle! That's a great question! I know there are supplements that can help to encourage collagen production within the body. I would be happy to do a bit of digging on this topic and if I can find enough info then do a video. I appreciate the great suggestion! I do also add several drops of each of these oils to my body lotion to help firm and tighten the skin as well. Thanks again for the great video suggestion I will definitely research into that. xoxo
Here are the links to them: Now Frankincense: bit.ly/1pujSMJ Now Patchouli oil: bit.ly/1QGrfYm Now Neroli oil: bit.ly/1pukgLk Now Myrrh oil: bit.ly/1pukaTN You can find them also at most health food stores
Hi Anne, you have many great beauty and anti aging tips! I have a question about using essential oils at night. How would you layer it if you use Retin A or other products? Thanks!
Whenever I use them I typically apply them first (just a few drops so it's not a really thick layer) and let it soak in then apply my other products. A lot of people prefer to add the oils at the end of skin care routine though and that probably allows for the retin a to absorb better so is probably best ;) Lots of love xoxo
Where is the best place to find these oils? Are they commonly available or do you order them online? Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I really appreciate you. I'm learning so much.
Thank you! I don't use a toner. I tried and I always just forget that step so I stopped. The one I did did try was a rose witch hazel from the health food store. At the time I filmed this though I had not ever used a toner, but I would think it would go on before anything else after washing the face. I hope this helps! xoxo
Thank you Mary! Welcome to my channel and I hope you enjoy my videos. I truly appreciate you watching and subscribing! I hope you have a great day xoxo
Do you apply these oils to your skin right out of the bottle? Or do you dilute them with a carrier oil (and if so- which one?) thank you so much, you're beautiful and sweet too. I love your video's and am bookmarking all of them
Thank you so much!!! Mine come pre-diluted with grapeseed oil, so I do just apply them straight since they already are mixed with a carrier oil, but if yours are pure essential oil without a carrier then I'd definitely mix in a carrier oil (so many carrier oils to choose from: coconut, argan, almond, grapeseed etc) xoxo
When I use this oil mix (mine are pre-diluted with grapeseed oil) I do bring them up around my eye area keeping it right around my orbital bone all around my eye area (I also have a video on eye creams that work where I share 2 eye creams that I've seen results from) xoxo
Hi Ann, do you mix with a carrier oil, or apply to skin directly to the skin, also, do you mix equal parts of each oil? How much of each oil do you use? Many thanks!
Mine are already pre-diluted so I just mix them together and apply. If you have pure essential oils then you will want to add a little carrier oil in the mix (coconut, jojoba, argan, grapeseed, etc). I just use about 10 drops of each. Lots of love to you xoxo
I would like to know if this mix of oils are good to put on your face outside in the sun? if not, what can I add in so I can wear this mix during the day? thanks for sharing.
I do still periodically use them and still really like them, think they do help to tighten skin (have repurchased anytime I run out of any of them) xoxo
I appreciate these tips. I'm new to essential oils and what I'm finding is that in doing searches online for best firming oils, I get a different recipe every site I visit. I find that a bit maddening. How could there be so many different answers? Shouldn't there be specific oils that are known for that specific thing and a blend that is good for that specific purpose. Surely someone has worked this out over time, unless there is a difference based on different skin types.
I found the same thing you did when I started looking up essential oils. So I just put together the ones I kept hearing about for anti-aging the skin and then looked up those individual ones and went with the 4 I thought would help my skin best. It does get confusing and there are so many different oils. I love these 4 that I mix together (sometimes I use them individually as well). I appreciate you taking the time to watch and to comment! It means a lot to me. xoxo
+Kylie B Hi Kylie! I've never heard of that brand, but will google it. I have been very happy with my Now brand that I can purchase at my local health food store. Thanks for the suggestion! xoxo Anne
how do I add carrot seed to this recipe? what is the measurement for each please. I'm going to make it today. can this be used in morning routine? did you have morning facial oil recipe? Thanks so much.
+Vanessa C Hi Vanessa! I don't measure anything, I just add about 5-10 drops of each oil in my palm and mix them together and apply to my face, neck, chest and backs of hands. I guess you could use it in the morning, I use mine at night though. I think I'd use a little less of each oil if using it in the morning so it's not too shiny on your face. Just add the carrot seed oil drops with the other oils. It's really easy and no set recipe. I will be doing a video soon showing how I add them all in a bottle together. Thanks so much for watching! xoxo
They would probably help some, I notice that my face (where I apply mine) is a little firmer. You might also try Palmer's bust cream after you apply the oils. I use my oils like a serum at night (my first step) and then apply other products on top. The bust cream has peptides and helps to firm skin (face and body). I think I would try both those (these oils and the bust cream). BTW I have to order my palmer's bust cream online but have heard it is in babies r us stores (never been there though). Also, you could dermaroll the area as well with a 0.5mm dermaroller which is suppose to help tighten skin on the face/body as well. I hope this helps some! xoxo
What carrier oil do you use? I would imagine organic coconut oil wouldn't work well as a carrier on the skin with these oils due to it being to greasy? I do know that coconut oil has skin healing extracts but not sure how it would do on the face?
These essential oils that I use come pre-diluted with grapeseed oil so I don't add any additional carrier oil. I do use coconut oil on my face sometimes to remove my makeup and it works great. It could be used as a carrier as well other good ones are grapeseed, almond and jojoba. xoxo
I’m considering buying the oils and want to know what to mix in each of them if they can not be used topically without adding. I don’t know if i would know what oil to add, if you can give a suggestion. Thanks
Yes, you can mix them with any carrier oil (grapeseed, jojoba, coconut, almond... there are a long list of them if you google carrier oils) my oils are pre-diluted with grapeseed, but you can add few drops of any carrier in with your essential oils. Lots of love xoxo
Hello 👋 Do you mix all these oils or layering ? I am using rosehip oil and apricot oil and ordered frankincense oil and so far no issues with my dry skin and finally acne free. I layer it on the oil or mix it and apply on inner arm for allergies or something before put on face .
I'm trying out a few cream products for that now and once I have one that I notice results from I will do a little video on it! Lots of love to you oxox
Thank you Ann-Marie. I'm so glad to hear that. I just ran out of what i was using and it didn't help, so now I'm out. I'll wait for your next video about what you've tried. I appreciate you research and honesty. Your one special gal.
+queen of mars Those are three great ingredients to use for diy recipes! I just want to add that people should use organic unprocessed unfiltered raw honey so the skin will receive benefits from the nutrients that's in honey. A lot of the stuff in the stores has been heated and processed, therefore it damages the nutrients. Yogurt not has good bacteria that we need, but it's also a form of lactic acid so it's truly amazing for the skin. Nature has given us so many amazing things to take care of ourselves, internally and externally! Blessings and peace
hi beautiful, just a quick question. you mentioned you put all 4 oils in the palm of your hand and mixture them up then put on your face . do you add a base oil to that or just straight out of bottle? I thought it had to be mixed with a base?
Great question and I forgot to say in the video that the oils I purchase come pre-diluted with a carrier oil (I think they used grapeseed). Since they are pre-diluted I just mix them and apply. You are right though, if your oils are 100% essential oils you would want to mix in a carrier oil. Lots of love xoxo

Thanks for a great video. So many on you tube go on and on and on for 10 minutes, saying nothing very educational. You are a very good speaker, informative yet to the point quickly.
Thank you so much! I try to make them short and to the point and am so glad you appreciate that! xoxo
I agree. I look at the length of the video & if I see if it's over maybe 25 min., I can't listen for something that's as long as a documentary or tv show. If it takes 1/2 hr or more, make 2. Some get off topic & having things to do, I can't sit through a 1/2 hr video. Anne is sweet, pleasant and stays on point. Love you Anne-Marie!
that's exactly what I love about her videos!!! quick and no nonsense
how do I get these oils for tightening
I would highly encourage everyone to dilute the essential oils. 1% is safe and effective especially for facial skin. Sensitization can happen which is systemic, different from skin irritation. Any of your favorite fixed/carrier/veg/fruit oils may be used or even an infused carrier oil. 1% is 1 drop per teaspoon or 6 drops/ ounce. If you find you're not getting results you want increase gradually, but not more than 3%.
In addition to Frankincense and Neroli, if one can get past the smell, carrot seed essential oil is great for mature skin. There is also a fixed carrot seed oil so be sure to read description. You should notice a price difference too. Rose is said to be lovely too and while costly so little is needed.
+Saven Maven Hi! Thank you for the great information! I have carrot seed oil and agree with you on the smell....it's a tough one to take and I end up not using it as much as I should due to the scent. It helps when I mix a drop or two with other oils to mute the smell a bit. Thank you for watching and commenting with the info, I appreciate it! xo Anne
You are so welcome. I have a skin blend from Plant Therapy and sadly only used it a few times due to smell. Reminds me of black licorice.
What's the differences between the carrot oil and the fixed carrot oil? Is one better team the other?
Some of my favorite essential oils that I've used along the way for skin health recipes are... tea tree, lavender, carrot seed, coffee, lemongrass, Frankincense, Patchouli, Myrrh, Rose, Rose Geranium, Geranium, Palmarosa, Bergamot and Rosemary.
As for the carrier oils that I've used and like the most, they are Tamanu, Aloe Vera carrier oil, Neem, Cacay, Rosehip, Argan, grape seed and all with a touch of Vitamin E carrier oil added. It helps to keep them a little longer so they don't go rancid so fast.
There are a couple things that I would like to mention. People need to do research on oils that they're wanting to combine because not all essential oils can be safely used together. If you're looking up information online, just make sure it's from a reputable source! Just because it's online don't mean it's the truth, LoL.
The other thing that needs to be mentioned is that certain essential oils will cause phototoxicity, such as citrus oils. This will cause a darkening of the skin, which is called hyperpigmentation. Any essential oil that could have a phototoxic reaction should only be used at night. Again, I highly recommend reading on phototoxic essential oils so that you're aware of all that could be an issue!
There's a wealth of knowledge online when it comes to this topic, and it can definitely seem overwhelming and confusing when you first start trying to learn about all of the health benefits from the oils!
What I found to be a bit easier was to just buy a book on all essential oils. I have found so much information online prior to buying books, which I would then save in my notes or memos on my phone so I could find it again, and much easier and faster!
Thank you Anne Marie for doing the videos. I Love to learn different diy skincare recipes, tips and tricks! Okay, I'm done. Sorry for the ramble, LoL ❤
Great information! I tend to only use my oils at night and absolutely love tamanu oil. Is the coffee an oil? I'll have to google it! I take it that would have tightening effects like with caffeine? You mentioned lots of things I want to look up, thank you! Lots of love xoxo
The 2 essential oils I use most often for skin care are carrot seed oil and calendula. Both are very healing on the skin and the carrot seed oil in particular helps improve skins elasticity. Calendula is very healing in that it helps clear redness or rashiness. My favorite is rosehip seed oil, I use it instead of a serum at night. It's rich in naturally occurring retinol (vitamin A) and is most effective if used at night.
helpfulnatural Thank you for the great info! Someone else mentioned they use carrot seed oil as well and like it too--that's one I'll have to look into and give it a try. Like you, I use my oils as a serum as well then I put my face cream on over them after they soak in a bit. Thank you again for sharing the wonderful information! xo Anne
amc tomy Yes, carrot seed oil is wonderful stuff. Don't be put off by the smell though, it's a bit strong and it does need to be diluted with another carrier oil but it does wonderful things for your skin, especially around the eyes. I make my own lip balm and in the winter I'll put more essential oils in it to combat drying and chapping. Calendula is great for that as well as Chamomile. It's to the point where no one in my family buys commercial lip balm anymore!
Have a great weekend!
helpfulnatural Thank you so much! I'm excited to try carrot oil (especially around the eye area!) Thanks again and have a fun weekend :))
xo Anne
skin tightening of skin
Cacay oil and rose hip seed oil are fantastic for us mature ladies looking to build collagen. Palmer's skin therapy oil is the best - combining 10 essential olis including rose hip, coconut, grape seed and argan oils, to name a few. Thanks, Anne Marie for all your great tips.
I love the Palmer's oil as well! I have yet to try cacay but want to! Lots of love to you xoxo
BTW...you're radiant and the viewer can see how your tips actually work because it shows on you. It's so inspiring. I love that your videos are chock full of great info, but short and to-the-point. Thank you, again for looking out. xo
Thank you so much!!! I really appreciate that! Lots of love to you xoxo
My sister sells Natural oils and she makes me a rose oil toner for my face. I spray on after I wash my face. It is rose oil diluted with water.
That sounds really nice! I will have to look up a recipe for it. Thank you for the great suggestion! Lots of love to you xoxo
Great seasonal blend for allergies is 2 drops each of lemon, lavender and peppermint.
Hi Julie! Thank you for that! I am having some allergies currently and will try this. I appreciate it! xoxo
Do you add this to food/drink?
I like rosemary oil for my face--It exfoliates after being on for awhile and seems to tighten...It brings everything to top and then you scrub face , feels so clean also
I'll have to try that! Thank you for the great suggestion! Lots of love xoxo
Hmmm! I have to try it. Thank you!
I absolute love all your videos...very comprehensive and informational! You look gorgeous..💕
Thank you so much, I appreciate that!!! Lots of love xoxo
You look amazing for your age.
Thank you so much! xoxo
“For your age” ugh. You look amazing . Period
Please, don't ever apologize. I really love all of your videos you are my favorite Beauty TH-camr thank you for sharing your knowledge. God bless you and your family.
Thank you so much!!!! I really appreciate that! Lots of love to you xoxo
Thank you for the info. You look beautiful.
Thank you so much! I appreciate you watching! xo
Rosehip seed oil is great too.
It is a great oil! Lots of love xoxo
Thank you for sharing! Your skin is radiant so if that's any testament to these oils,I definitely want to try them.
Hi! Thank you so much. These are wonderful oils for the skin (I just mix a few drops of each together in my hand and apply). I would definitely recommend them :)) xoxo
Hi..I totally agree with using essential oils for skin preparation and caring. I use a few drops of Lavender and Frankincense in Fractionated Coconut Oil and cleanse my skin with this.. I put the mixture into a spray glass bottle and then spray onto damp cotton wool pads.. I need very little mosturising after that.. it removes all make up and nourishes my lashes too! I use the brand doterra because of their purity 😊
Hi Kay! That sounds wonderful! I haven't tried lavender oil yet, but will look into that one. The spray bottle is a great idea too! Thank you for sharing this, I truly appreciate it and will give it a try! xoxo
I use rosehip seed oil is good to minimize and prevents the look of wrinkles the native people in Peru have being use it for thousands of years and they have a beautiful skin
Rosehip is a great anti-aging oil xoxo
Other anti aging from the inside: Brew of chicken bones or beef bone with organic animal bone ones if possible.
Ad some white wine or apple cider vinegar in the cooking pot and make sure to not brought up to boiling point just at the limit of boiling point and cook for 4 to 6 hours. If it is a right cooking it should become jelly when cool off. Drink 3 cups per day and you'll never age!! Oh well almost !
+Helene Dinand Hi Helene! Very interesting! Thanks so much for watching and for the great suggestion. Happy New Year! xo Anne
I am heading to the health food store for some organic bones!!!!! Thank you Helene, I am going to try it!!
Hi Helene. Do you have a receipe for this? :)
Thank you Anne you are a wonderful person your son and daughter are so lucky to have a mum like you wish had a mum like you 💐🌼🌻xox
Thank you so much hun!!! You are wonderful as well and I'm sending you lots of love and hugs!!! xoxo
Thank you! out of all the videos I trust what you have to say. You are classy and beautiful and honest. I will try this as I have all of these oils.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate that! Lots of love to you xoxo
castor oil is wonderful for the neck and forehead..amazing..without diluting.. of course, applied to the body it makes skin silky on the spot..Thanks for yr advice!
+Nevine. Abd Hi! I have and love castor oil as well. I usually put it under my eyes but will try it on the neck and forehead...thank you for the wonderful suggestion/advice, I appreciate it a lot!!! xo Anne
Geranium, Carrot Seed Oil, Rose Hip, Rose Absolute are all fabulous anti aging oils.
Thank you!!! I have the carrot seed and the rose hip but will have to try the other 2! Thanks so much! xoxo
Lemmon grass, lavender and geranium are also great....You must always dilute oils with a carrieroils...that is extremely important....the only one you can use alone is lavender....
Yes, I agree, mine are all pre-diluted (I think they are mixed with grapeseed oil) but for those who get 100% pure essential oils it is important to mix with a carrier. Lots of love xoxo
I will have to try this blend! I've been using frankincense and adding helichrysum and also carrot seed. The carrier oil I use is rose hip seed oil since it is supposed to be good for aging skin. I'm saving up for rose essential oil...it's pretty expensive but a GREAT one for the skin.
That sounds like a great blend of oils! I've never heard of helichrysum oil but will look it up! I have carrot seed as well and occasionally add a drop of it to some of my oils. I've only tried rose oil blends and should really try a bottle of rose essential oil sometime. xoxo
yes! And it's miraculous! Add a drop of lemon oil and orange oil to tea. actually, I have an herbal mix that I use that is amazing, but the oils will literally transform your skin if ingested. I've never used in topically, but I'm guessing it would be just as amazing.
Thanks for the great tip! I appreciate it! xoxo
ConstantCompanion could you please share the herbal mix?
I just put about 5 drops of each in the palm of my hand and mix them together then apply to my face and neck. Mine are pre-diluted though so if you use 100% essential oils then you need to add a few drops of a carrier oil. xoxo
BeautyBy Anne-Marie thank you :)
You can get a diffuser and get one to help your allergies too Ann. I have allergies year round and I take an allergy pill everyday. But certain times of the year are worse and I use other things too. Thanks for all the tips! Love you!
Thanks for the info, I don't have a diffuser so will look into that! I did start taking local honey which I heard helps and I think it does help at least some. Lots of love to you xoxo
I do buy local honey also. That is really supposed to help you too.
Hey Anne, First off, You are so pretty with beautiful skin. I'm getting ready to turn 60 and the skin on my face looks good for my age as I've always used different healing creams throughout the years, however, I now have crepey skin legs with deep wrinkles on knee area and lower arms from having lifeguarded and instructed swimming in the south for years. I see you natural oils you recommend, anything else you would recommend? I enjoy your videos. thanks Lynne
Hi! Hmmm, I have heard you can use a dermaroller on the body to help tighten up skin, although I have not personally tried this (I do use one on my face and love it). You can add some of these oils to your body lotion and you could try a firming body lotion which might help a bit. Oh and maybe dry brushing the skin (again, I have not tried this but heard it is good). Those are the only things I can think of to tighten up body skin. I hope this helps some! I appreciate you watching! xoxo
Thank you for these tips! I am 51 years old and my husband told me I look 35. I am making my own creams etc. Just wondering your age. Your skin is beautiful
That is awesome! I love DIY skin care. I am currently almost 49 and I did this video a year ago when I was almost 48. What ingredients do you put in your cream if you don't mind me asking? I would be happy with looking 5 years younger so you must be doing something right!!! xoxo
best oils for skin tightening - carrot seed oil, geranium, clary sage, lavender, cypress oil - grapeseed or apricot kernel oil or argan oil as a carrier oil - also aloe vera oil is great - use it in the morning and use aloe vera gel as a primer under make up.
+sarah campbell Hi Sarah! I have been adding a few drops of the carrot seed oil to my mix and will have to give the others a try. Thanks so much for the wonderful suggestions!! I appreciate it! xoxo
Lemongrass seems to work for me. It is clearing up my skin, fading broken capillaries, tightening it and reducing the look of wrinkles.
Thank you so much! I haven't tried that one yet! Lots of love xoxo
I put pure frankincense essential oil directly on my face and my skin has never reacted negatively to it, plus I love the scent. I don't have sensitive skin. I also mix palmarosa essential oil with coconut oil (50/50) and have been using that as my deodorant for years. I do not put palmarosa on my face because that does sting slightly and I don't see it as a face oil, but it has no ill effect at all on the rest of my skin. I get my oils from New Directions Aromatics. You can get 3.3 ounce bottles of essential oils at such reasonable prices that I only order them every 1-2 years. I've experimented with so many oils for hair and skin, but frankincense, coconut, and palmarosa are my holy grails for every day.
I love oils and have not heard of palmarosa so thank you for sharing your info! I'll look that up and may have to give it a try!!! I appreciate it! Lots of love to you xoxo
Hi Anne Marie! I'm going to try your essential oil recipe on my arms. After menopause, they got so crepey! I'm looking forward to learning more from your videos :)
+Marissa Valdez Hi Marissa! Let me know what you think after you try it, I'd love to hear. Thank you for watching and for the wonderful comment! xo Anne
I thank you so very much for sharing this great information! I have to say this 'recipe' of oils definitely makes a difference. I saw this video 3 weeks ago and promptly purchased the oils, as well as rose hip seed oil, which I added in with the 4 you mentioned. I am pleasantly surprised with the results and have waited until now to post so that I had a few weeks of using it before saying anything. I can't exactly put my finger on what the difference is, but my skin looks better-- maybe fresher? I don't know, but I am excited. And again, thank you for sharing! Your videos are so precise, not too long, very 'to the point', without over the top intros/outros, and I have been watching them on the edge of my seat. Thank you for being on TH-cam!
S Marczewski Thank you SO much! Your comment made my day :) I'm so glad you gave them a try and after using them a decent amount of time shared your results with us all! Try putting several drops of each of the oils in your favorite body lotion too--it does the same thing for the skin on the body. I'm so glad you are enjoying my videos and finding some helpful tips. Thank you!!! xo Anne
BeautyBy Anne-Marie Ok great, I will definitely do that with the body lotion-- thank you! Yes indeed, I am really, really enjoying your videos! :)
Thank you Anne have a lovey day 🌞
You too hun! xoxo
Hi Anne...what type of carrier oil do you use? I am new to using essential oils but would love to try them. Have you tried oil pulling for your allergies? This has helped me so much. I also have a teaspoon of local honey every morning. These two "procedures" have made a world of difference. Loved this video and you look beautiful as always! xoxo Laura
Shake Up Makeup Thank you Laura! I do have some local honey and will try taking a teaspoonful everyday and see if it helps :))
I actually don't mix mine with a carrier oil (if you have really sensitive skin you should though) I just mix the 4 oils together and apply (my frankincense oil is already diluted when I bought it and I think it is diluted with grapeseed oil) . Some good carrier oils for the face are argan and jojoba (you don't need too much just a couple drops)--or if you have the Palmer's face therapy oil you could use it as a carrier oil too. Let me know what you think if you give them a try :) Thanks for the great info! xo Anne
I have a bunch of those already ( same brand too) and mostly used them for other things. I have extremely dry skin so this is great thanks
anastasia rath Let me know what you think after you try them :)
xo Anne
finally got the satisfying video on essential oils... thanks dear.... i was so confused watching and reading complicated stuff on the same. i just bought lavender and lemon EO... can i use both together and directly on my face and neck?
I've never tried lavender EO, but did try the lemon once without diluting it and it burned my skin, so would definitely recommend diluting with a carrier oil. I haven't used the lemon since that time, although I have heard good things about both EO's. I would dilute them with a carrier but imagine you could mix them all together and apply. xoxo
You sound and look beautiful as usual Anne. Your hair looks awesome like that....Omg...My favorite classic style! I SHOULD CHOP SOME OFF MINE AND GO FOR THE LONG BOB. I have my bangs cut that way too...just more of a part (I always had amazing brows so I swipe mine to one side and tuck one side behind my ear. I actually like my ears...most people don't). My mother is always on my about getting my hair off my face because I am " supposedly" hiding my great God given profile...Please...I will be 80 and she will still be alive and thriving telling me what to do and point out anything not perfect as it is her job! I love my bed all white too....got a white tufted ...nice and low for Declan to enjoy too. It is the Tully Bed....you can check it out it is the most unusual but very modern cool bed. Google the white Tully Bed. Or White tufted Tully bed. You can't miss it.
You look extra super pretty and all fresh and natural here. I NOTICE IF I stay more on the fair side and ease up on the bronzer it looks better.
Thank you so much!!! This is my favorite way I have ever had my hair and am now growing it out to this again ;) I grew it even longer after I had this style and then it started getting some breakage from some new products I had tried so I ended up cutting it in a bob above my shoulders :( Now it's down to my shoulders but this was definitely my favorite style in this video. I bet you would look great with a long bob! I think long bobs are so nice. Googled the bed and it is really pretty!!! Lots of love xoxo
Patchuli for the neck? Thank you so much 💖 subscribed 😘
Thanks for subbing!
Pumpkin seed oil tightens apparently. Also packed full of trace elements!
I'll have to try it on my skin sometime, I do use pumpkin seed oil in my hair (helps with hair growth) xoxo
Beauty By Anne-Marie I use it on skin mainly sometimes hair. Safflower oil is meant to be the best in trials for hair growth it even out shone minoxidil for hair growth apparently and is really quite cheap, a fraction of the price of minoxidil and no nasty side effects. Great channel you have btw! I’m obviously a subscriber and working my way through the catalog of your helpful videos. Who’d of thought Nivea cellulite serum works on eye bags. Absolutely fabulous hints and tips you convey and living proof what you say actually works. Keep it up 👍 🇬🇧
My big problem is eye bags. Big big eye bags! ESP in the mornings when I get out of bed, my eyes are always so swollen & puffy. I've tried so many things w/ no results
I have several videos on how I got rid of my age related fat deposit eye bags with a drugstore product if you are interested. If you type in the search Beauty by Anne-Marie eye bags some of them should come up. Lots of love xoox
Just saw your video on essential oils. I use Emu oil which is a transdermal with Frankincense and use it on my face and neck after cleansing with coconut oil. Really enjoyed this. Mhyrr is also a pain reducer but make sure it is food grade oil. Hugs
Great info! I have some emu oil as well and will try mixing them together. Thank you! Lots of love to you xoxo
Thank you Anne! Just ordered these oils, can't wait to try with my dermaroller😊
+Carol Zanatian Hi Carol! I hope you love the oils and find them very beneficial to your skin! I struggle with trying to make my skin look as good as I can with at home treatments and am more than happy to share any tips I come across that helps with anti-aging ;) I've been using a fade cream (trying 3 of them out) and will be doing a video on those soon as well since I think they help greatly to even the skin tone and make the skin in turn look younger. Thank you for watching and for the great comments and questions! xo Anne
How did you get to be so smart, Anne? I have not used any oils on my face, or neck, yet. The skin on my face is still producing oil. I fear, if I should add oil, my body will not get the message to make oil, Does this make sense to you? Timing is everything, and I want to be prepared it the oil faucet stops working. Loved this. Blessings....ME
+MaryEllen After 60 Hi MaryEllen! Thank you ;) It's just out of my desperation that I look into different at home anti-aging products. I don't have time or budget for the medspa and prefer to do things myself anyway LOL. Yes, I know exactly what you are talking about and I would have the same concern if I had oilier skin I think. They do say that oils can help oily skin but I don't know for a fact if this actually works or not since I have such dry skin. Plus, what works for one person may not for another even if they have the same skin type. I agree with you it's always good to have options for when and if things change ;) Hope you have a wonderful day sweetie! xo Anne
I have only had one facial in my whole life, and wouldn't know a medusa if I walked right by it, lol. I do not want the oil in my face to stop producing, but want to be ready when it does. You are such a lovely, intelligent young woman. I repeat you very much. P.S. Still working on my project, lol.
+MaryEllen After 60 P.S. I can't wait to hear your thoughts on your project! :)) xo
Great video Ann. I love you sweetie, all your videos are very educational and I appreciate that. Have you been using these? If you don't mind me asking.ifso, could you make a video for the "good" that they have done for you. I'm curious to know. Ty
Awesome video...my brother who sells essential oils says Thieves oil is one of the best to tighten loose skin after and during weight loss. You mix it with coconut oil or another carrier oil before you use it.
Hi! Thank you for the great info, I really appreciate it! xo
Looking at your skin, Def inspired me to buy all four and give it a go. Thank you
+dewar white Thank you and I hope you love these oils as much as I do. Thank you so much for watching! xoxo
I use Frankincense and as an anti inflamatory chamomile oil (azulene) which is blue and pretty strong
I love frankincense and will have to give the chamomile a try! Thank you for the great suggestion! xoxo
Use it pure on blemishes but always mixed to your usual lotion or serum it really calms down any redness or inflamation
Ty... I'd add be sure to mix in with base oil. Never oils themselves. x
I should have said all but 1 of my essential oils are pre-diluted with grapeseed oil. I definitely recommend diluting them if they are 100% pure essential oils ;) xoxo
THANK YOU
Essential oil for anti-aging and tightening the skin:
FIRST, dilute with carrier oil (with proper dilution rules), then use.
1. Patchouli eo: anti-infammatory, reduces pores, tightening the skin. Good for neck area.
2. Myrrh eo: anti-inflammatory, impoves skin tone and elasticity. Good for crepey skin.
3. Frankincense eo: protects the cells, encourages cells growth, increases elasticity.
4. Neroli eo: stimulates new cells growth, reduces scars and pores, improves elasticity. Good for neck area and crepey skin.
(Avoid myrrh when pregnant and breasfeeding).
Yep! I do mention carrier oils and diluting them. Mine are pre-diluted. Good info for pregnant/breastfeeding moms, thanks! xoxo
Hi Anne, thank you for your videos. I look forward to trying some of your recommendations, oils, derma rolling... I recently ordered a 0.5 derma roller and am hopeful that I will be able to achieve the kind of results of great skin as you have. I have gone to a couple of aestheticians who say that derma rolling does not tighten skin just improves the surface texture and only offer micro needling with a derma pen instead. But basically it is the same concept of injuring the skin with tiny needles. The device is a Derma Pen. I have sensitive skin, allergy prone to irritants, break out in either hives or red pinpoint bumps with some products so and am a little bit apprehensive of putting oils or creams if I don't know how I will react so I need to approach carefully. What was your first experience with derma rolling and how did you start ? Any recommendations as to how I should begin?
Keep the videos coming, really enjoy and find so informative, All the best, Dee
+Dee Rodriguez Hi Dee! Thank you so much for watching and for the lovely comment. I do find using a lidocaine cream before I use my dermaroller helpful for reducing the discomfort of the needling (be sure to wash off the lidocaine cream before you use your dermaroller). Yes, you're correct it is the same concept (basically the same thing) as the derma pen (just less expensive than going in to have it done by someone else--sometimes they go deeper than you might at home). I started slowly with the dermaroller...just using it once every 2-4 weeks with only 5-7 rolls in each direction. I roll only on my wrinkled areas or areas that I want more collagen produced (some people do their entire face but I don't). Be sure to sanitize the roller after each use with rubbing alcohol as well and I would just use what ever skin care you normally use at night time after rolling (I only roll at night because it does leave my skin red like a sunburn but is gone by morning). A couple of good creams that I find help with the irritation of rolling are: Weleda skin food (it's heavier and greasy but repairs the skin nicely and also Avene Citalfate repair cream) You probably already saw my videos on dermarolling and on post dermarolling products but I'll put the links here in case you haven't and are interested: th-cam.com/video/6dOuPz7KNQs/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/99ol3btJD6I/w-d-xo.html and one on the numbing cream: th-cam.com/video/35HRZNGq7Ec/w-d-xo.html I hope this helps! xo Anne
Hadn't heard of Neroli before. Just found you recently. Thank you.
+Peggy Priddy Hi Peggy! I'm so glad you found me! Welcome and thank you for watching! I love neroli oil --works well and it smells so good! xoxo Anne
Thank you your videos are nice and informative.
Thank you! xoxo
Ma gonna be so happy
When you suggest to mix these oils with products like jojoba oil, is that in case your skin is sensitive. I don’t think my skin would be sensitive to any of the oils.i suppose it is a way to extend the oil. Do you ever put these oils on the morning, or just in the evening. I would think if you applied them in the morning applying your makeup would be difficult, as your face would be too greasy. This video doesn’t address the lips, but I’ll ask do you applied the lip treatment every night, and do you do the 25 derm roller every night. Seems like most of the treatments you do whether it be the hair, the lips or what have you, you do them 3 or 4 times a week. I’m planning to do the treatments every day. I believe the .25 roller you can do that every evening. You have been really good about answering me in a timely manor. Thanks for that :)
Thank you! Yes, mixing it with a carrier oil just so it won't be irritating (sometimes 100% pure essential oils are strong and can be a bit too irritating on the skin). I usually just applied them at night (I did put a few drops of each in my body lotion which I applied in the morning to my body). I do apply my lip 6x balm that I love every night and yes you can use the 0.25 every night if you want you are absolutely correct! Lots of love xoxo
Hi Anne just want to wish you a wonderful and happy new year 🎄🎁🎀🎄🎁🎀🎍🎍🎍and I will be looking out for all beauty tips as always xoc
Thank you so much! Merry Christmas to you and I hope you have a wonderful New Year! Lots of love xoxo
I just LOVE this video. I am going to have to try these together!! Thank you for this!!!
+VictoriasRoses Hi Becki! They are my favorite facial oils and I have seen improvement to my skin. I would love to hear what you think if you get them and try them. Thank you so much for watching! xo Anne
I couldn't hear the oils you recommend could you write them down please
I have them all written down in the description box (click the show more or upside down triangle under the video). Lots of love xoox
Thank you xx
Hi Anne, I'd love to try these essential oils on my neck. I'm just starting to use the Nivea Skin Firming & Smoothing Concentrated Serum on that area. Do you recommend putting on one first, waiting a while and then apply the others, or should I use the Nivea Serum at one time during the day and the essential oils at another time during the day?
I would apply the oils and let them soak in for a little while then apply the nivea as the last product on at night. I only applied the nivea at night (as the last product) so I'm not sure how it wears under makeup. Lots of love to you xoxo
Thanks so much, Anne! I just received my essential oils and the grapeseed carrier oil and can't wait to use them together with the Nivea Serum. I'll try to remember to come back and update you in another month or so.

What do you do to increase the collagen in your body? We lose 1% a year after age 25. Very interested in your thoughts. Would like to see a video on this.
Hi Michelle! That's a great question! I know there are supplements that can help to encourage collagen production within the body. I would be happy to do a bit of digging on this topic and if I can find enough info then do a video. I appreciate the great suggestion! I do also add several drops of each of these oils to my body lotion to help firm and tighten the skin as well. Thanks again for the great video suggestion I will definitely research into that. xoxo
Patchouli, mrryh, frank, neroli
Yes! Love those oils xoxo
OMG, Hoot ! Thank you for the information.

Thank. for the tutorial.
Thank you so much for watching Sandra! I hope you have a great weekend! xoxo
Rosehip seed oil is really nice
Yes! That is a great one too and very anti-aging. Lots of love to you xoxo
Hi Anne, you have many great beauty and anti aging tips! I have a question about using essential oils at night. How would you layer it if you use Retin A or other products? Thanks!
Whenever I use them I typically apply them first (just a few drops so it's not a really thick layer) and let it soak in then apply my other products. A lot of people prefer to add the oils at the end of skin care routine though and that probably allows for the retin a to absorb better so is probably best ;) Lots of love xoxo
You look younger with the flicked out hair style at 2.22 picture on your right hand side but in general your skin looks amazing anyway
Thank you! Lots of love to you xoxo
okay. thanks once again dear :)
Where is the best place to find these oils? Are they commonly available or do you order them online? Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I really appreciate you. I'm learning so much.
Sherry Lee Yes, I just get them at my local health food store (I believe Whole Foods sells them as well). Thank you for watching! xo Anne
Thank you!
your skin looks great do you use a toner and if so do you apply it before you put essential oils on your face?
Thank you! I don't use a toner. I tried and I always just forget that step so I stopped. The one I did did try was a rose witch hazel from the health food store. At the time I filmed this though I had not ever used a toner, but I would think it would go on before anything else after washing the face. I hope this helps! xoxo
very informative, liked and subscribed 😊
Thank you Mary! Welcome to my channel and I hope you enjoy my videos. I truly appreciate you watching and subscribing! I hope you have a great day xoxo
Hi Anne, i really appreciate your response, you are very beautiful, you too have a wonderful day ahead, stay blessed
Do you apply these oils to your skin right out of the bottle? Or do you dilute them with a carrier oil (and if so- which one?) thank you so much, you're beautiful and sweet too. I love your video's and am bookmarking all of them
Thank you so much!!! Mine come pre-diluted with grapeseed oil, so I do just apply them straight since they already are mixed with a carrier oil, but if yours are pure essential oil without a carrier then I'd definitely mix in a carrier oil (so many carrier oils to choose from: coconut, argan, almond, grapeseed etc) xoxo
You're pretty! Thank you for your review.
Thank you so much, you made my day! xoxo
I love argan oil.
It's a good one! I think it's the most moisturizing oil I've ever used. xoxo
Maybe I missed it in the comments but I'm curious as to what you do put directly on your eyes and lids. My eyes are very crepey because of allergies.
When I use this oil mix (mine are pre-diluted with grapeseed oil) I do bring them up around my eye area keeping it right around my orbital bone all around my eye area (I also have a video on eye creams that work where I share 2 eye creams that I've seen results from) xoxo
Hi Ann Marie Is this something you still use and stand by? Thanks for your help ♥️
Amanda~
I do still use my essential oil mix on occasion and do still think it works well. xoxo
Hi Ann, do you mix with a carrier oil, or apply to skin directly to the skin, also, do you mix equal parts of each oil? How much of each oil do you use? Many thanks!
Mine are already pre-diluted so I just mix them together and apply. If you have pure essential oils then you will want to add a little carrier oil in the mix (coconut, jojoba, argan, grapeseed, etc). I just use about 10 drops of each. Lots of love to you xoxo
great information
Thank you so much, I appreciate it! xoxo
I would like to know if this mix of oils are good to put on your face outside in the sun?
if not, what can I add in so I can wear this mix during the day? thanks for sharing.
Hi! I would add a sunscreen over the top of them after they soak in for awhile. The sunscreen I like is Neutrogena age shield spf 110. xoxo
Hi Anne. I know this is few years old, but I am wondering if you have continued using the oils and if they continue to be beneficial.
I do still periodically use them and still really like them, think they do help to tighten skin (have repurchased anytime I run out of any of them) xoxo
Rose hip oil is good for brightening complexion.
Yes, I agree with you, rose hip oil is a great oil! xoxo
BeautyBy Anne-Marie Thanks for your response, I just found your channel! It's wonderful.
Welcome! I'm so glad you found me and I hope you enjoy my videos! xoxo
BeautyBy Anne-Marie Thank You!
thanks for replying Ann... :)
You are more than welcome. Thank you for watching! xoxo
I appreciate these tips. I'm new to essential oils and what I'm finding is that in doing searches online for best firming oils, I get a different recipe every site I visit. I find that a bit maddening. How could there be so many different answers? Shouldn't there be specific oils that are known for that specific thing and a blend that is good for that specific purpose. Surely someone has worked this out over time, unless there is a difference based on different skin types.
I found the same thing you did when I started looking up essential oils. So I just put together the ones I kept hearing about for anti-aging the skin and then looked up those individual ones and went with the 4 I thought would help my skin best. It does get confusing and there are so many different oils. I love these 4 that I mix together (sometimes I use them individually as well). I appreciate you taking the time to watch and to comment! It means a lot to me. xoxo
thanks for sharing.😄
Doterra is the best brand of essential oils!
+Kylie B Hi Kylie! I've never heard of that brand, but will google it. I have been very happy with my Now brand that I can purchase at my local health food store. Thanks for the suggestion! xoxo Anne

You should check them out! they are absolutely amazing!
how do I add carrot seed to this recipe? what is the measurement for each please. I'm going to make it today. can this be used in morning routine? did you have morning facial oil recipe? Thanks so much.
+Vanessa C Hi Vanessa! I don't measure anything, I just add about 5-10 drops of each oil in my palm and mix them together and apply to my face, neck, chest and backs of hands. I guess you could use it in the morning, I use mine at night though. I think I'd use a little less of each oil if using it in the morning so it's not too shiny on your face. Just add the carrot seed oil drops with the other oils. It's really easy and no set recipe. I will be doing a video soon showing how I add them all in a bottle together. Thanks so much for watching! xoxo
I have lost 60 lbs the past year and have crepey skin on my neck and arms. I am wondering how these oils would help this. Thanks
They would probably help some, I notice that my face (where I apply mine) is a little firmer. You might also try Palmer's bust cream after you apply the oils. I use my oils like a serum at night (my first step) and then apply other products on top. The bust cream has peptides and helps to firm skin (face and body). I think I would try both those (these oils and the bust cream). BTW I have to order my palmer's bust cream online but have heard it is in babies r us stores (never been there though). Also, you could dermaroll the area as well with a 0.5mm dermaroller which is suppose to help tighten skin on the face/body as well. I hope this helps some! xoxo
I love EO's! Do you apply these after all other nighttime products? Thanks
I usually apply them first, like a serum and let them soak in for a good 15-20 minutes then apply other products on top. xoxo
Liked ur videos new subscriber! Thanks
Thank you! I appreciate you subscribing, watching and commenting! Lots of love to you xoxo
I'm hearing that castor oil is also good for the skin. I have used it for my eyebrows and lashes with great results. Have not tried it on my skin
Yes, I've heard it good on the skin as well. I use it to get my lashes and eyebrows to grow as well and love it. Lots of love to you xoxo
What carrier oil do you use? I would imagine organic coconut oil wouldn't work well as a carrier on the skin with these oils due to it being to greasy? I do know that coconut oil has skin healing extracts but not sure how it would do on the face?
These essential oils that I use come pre-diluted with grapeseed oil so I don't add any additional carrier oil. I do use coconut oil on my face sometimes to remove my makeup and it works great. It could be used as a carrier as well other good ones are grapeseed, almond and jojoba. xoxo
I’m considering buying the oils and want to know what to mix in each of them if they can not be used topically without adding. I don’t know if i would know what oil to add, if you can give a suggestion. Thanks
Yes, you can mix them with any carrier oil (grapeseed, jojoba, coconut, almond... there are a long list of them if you google carrier oils) my oils are pre-diluted with grapeseed, but you can add few drops of any carrier in with your essential oils. Lots of love xoxo
Hello 👋 Do you mix all these oils or layering ? I am using rosehip oil and apricot oil and ordered frankincense oil and so far no issues with my dry skin and finally acne free. I layer it on the oil or mix it and apply on inner arm for allergies or something before put on face .
You can do either...I typically just mix them and then apply :)) xoxo
BeautyBy Anne-Marie Ok thanks! I figured to mix it because it takes to long for it to dry .
Glory M Hi, I'm curious about what made you decide to use those three oils?
I am looking for a cream for my neck that will help tighten and lift. Any suggestions? Thanks so much
I'm trying out a few cream products for that now and once I have one that I notice results from I will do a little video on it! Lots of love to you oxox
Thank you Ann-Marie. I'm so glad to hear that. I just ran out of what i was using and it didn't help, so now I'm out. I'll wait for your next video about what you've tried. I appreciate you research and honesty. Your one special gal.

Those are three great ingredients to use for diy recipes! I just want to add that people should use organic unprocessed unfiltered raw honey so the skin will receive benefits from the nutrients that's in honey. A lot of the stuff in the stores has been heated and processed, therefore it damages the nutrients. Yogurt not has good bacteria that we need, but it's also a form of lactic acid so it's truly amazing for the skin. Nature has given us so many amazing things to take care of ourselves, internally and externally!
Blessings and peace

hi beautiful, just a quick question. you mentioned you put all 4 oils in the palm of your hand and mixture them up then put on your face . do you add a base oil to that or just straight out of bottle? I thought it had to be mixed with a base?
Great question and I forgot to say in the video that the oils I purchase come pre-diluted with a carrier oil (I think they used grapeseed). Since they are pre-diluted I just mix them and apply. You are right though, if your oils are 100% essential oils you would want to mix in a carrier oil. Lots of love xoxo
