Why Essential Oils Are So Risky
To understand why essential oils can be risky for skin, it helps to understand what they are and are not.

Ruth - My beauty regimen is to wash my face with water. Only water.
Often I will take a wet washcloth that has just come out of the washing machine and wash every part of my face and neck(s) with it.

Mist filled the windows when I looked outside.
Mist - Fog - Impossibility of Seeing
Outside I went in the raindrops-come-down-to-earth
Walked to the yellow plastic bin and in I tossed an empty carton of eggs.
Life came back again, one more time.
