Liz Seal Holistic Massage
There are many causes of irritation to the skin, and many ways to combat these. Common causes of skin irritation and itching include eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, dryness and sunburn. Harsh soaps and cleaning chemicals can exacerbate these conditions, leaving the skin feeling tight and uncomfortable.
The skin is the largest organ of the human body. It should be treated with care as it is the body’s overcoat! It keeps you warm when it’s cold and cool when it’s hot. It can also protect you from sunlight, rain and injury. The condition of our skin and hair reflects our general health and emotional wellbeing. It is influenced by our diet, exercise, water intake, sleep and hygiene. Our skin has the ability to heal itself, when given the chance! When 
damaged or affected by illness, our skin needs a little help to function as it should. We can promote healing by using gentle and natural products to moisturise and protect our skin.
There are a wide range of aromatherapy oils which can help to repair and renew the skin. Even without adding the power and fragrance of essential oils, the base products, carrier oils and lotions, can be rich in vitamins. These can nourish the skin, inside and out! When essential oils are added, we can produce a lotion or oil to promote health and healing.
A wide range of essential oils are available. By understanding the chemical properties of these oils, your clinical aromatherapist can offer a bespoke blend to target the nature of the skin problem. The quality of the oils used is paramount in all therapeutic situations, but especially when we require a healing response from our skin.
Bespoke blends of oils, lotions and creams can be formulated following a consultation to establish your exact requirements. Contact me for more information.
