Just back from an essential oil presentation. Gabe, you may want to also add some oil of geranium and cypress to your concoction (per my notes these are good for varicose veins, rosacea, and water retention). Jojoba is another good carrier oil that is often used - one of the mixes suggested for skin issues was 80% jojoba, 15% borage or hazelnut, and 5% Vitamin E oils as the carrier, then 20 drops per ounce of whatever essential oil mix you come up with. I'm just starting with this and find it quite interesting. The presenter also suggests shaking your essential oil mixture and warming it with your hands before adding to your carrier oil mix. All fun to try out.
