Ylang ylang oil - reviews

Julia, 31 years old

I take a bath with ylang-ylang oil once a week. Relaxes as much as expensive massage or spa wraps. It takes 10 minutes to feel how the tension leaves the muscles, and warmth spreads through the body.

Tatiana, 42 years old

Our acquaintance with ylang-ylang oil took place during the restoration of marital relations. At sessions with a sexologist, he advised my husband and I to use ether in order to refresh our intimate life and awaken a new interest in each other. Of course, general therapy also helped, but the aroma of oil is now associated with the ability to overcome any troubles if we stand shoulder to shoulder.

Evgeniya, 36 years old

I chose ylang-ylang ester for skin, hair and nails care. I like the aroma very much, and I am satisfied with the obtained effect. For the skin, I add oil to the night cream to even out the tone, improve the complexion and smooth out wrinkles. Before processing the nails, I drip a few drops into a bath of water - the nails have practically ceased to exfoliate. Hair is more hassle, because rinsing helps me best, but it still takes time to prepare it. But why can't you do it for the sake of beauty ?!

Before using the oil, be sure to check that it will not cause you allergies.
