Essential Oils:
Essential oils smell oh-so-wonderful and heal the body from the outside in a benefit chemical-laden skin care products cannot provide, as they're typically a cover-up made from the same non-natural ingredient formula with a different, equally chemical scent added in the hopes consumers believe they're different. Then again if you're here reading this, you've probably become a bit too wise for age-old, skin-care marketing tricks. Good job.
