Essential oils are packed full of nutrients and proteins which maintain the mattress-like bounciness of collagen; they also stimulate blood flow which encourages the regeneration of new skin cells and some essential oils, such as fennel, have hormonal-like properties which encourages the firming of skin.
Below is one of my absolute favorite anti-wrinkle blends which seems to have worked wonders for anyone I’ve shared it with.
This recipe has been taken from The Complete Book Of Essential Oils & Aromatherapy by Valerie Ann Worwood. It is my absolute favorite book on the topic of essential oils in the world with over 600 recipes for absolutely everything. Get yourself a copy if you’d like to learn more about ways you can use essential oils.
The Ultimate Anti-Wrinkle Essential Oil Blend
Neroli oil – 10 drops
Lavender oil – 10 drops
Frankincense oil – 10 drops
Rosemary oil – 2 drops
Fennel oil – 10 drops
Lemon oil – 3 drops
Carrot oil – 10 drops
Evening primrose oil – 10 dropsDilute in two tablespoons of sweet almond oil and massage onto your face and neck every night.
When you look at all of these ingredients you may think this recipe is extortionately expensive, but it’s not. Once you have all the bottles of essential oil you can whip this up in minutes and create a huge number of batches from your one bottle.
You can get approximately 20-25 drops per 1ml of essential oil so from a regular 10ml bottle you get between 200-250 drops of oil – enough to make at least 20 batches of this anti-aging blend.
If you’d like to try this recipe then the best place to purchase your essential oils is at this page on Mountain Rose Herbs. MRH are the most respected supplier of herbs and essential oils in the world and their products are incredible.

Can you do this with just half of the essential oils? or will it not work? Or maybe only work partially? I have about half of the ones listed, besides Sweet Almond oil, and I LOVE Mountain Rose Herbs. They are my new place to get essential oils.
What do you mean by: Dilute in two tablespoons of sweet almond oil ?
It means to combine all the essential oils listed, and then add that to the sweet almond oil. (Most essential oils should be diluted in a “carrier,” such as an oil, before using because they are very potent.)
I have the Ann Worwood book mentioned and it is excellent. There is a recipe for nearly everything you can think of.
Is this the Cleopatra oil? I can’t remember if that’s the right woman? There was a queen who used an oil combination like this and at age 87 married a very young (25-ish) prince who thought she was still incredibly young looking. She was supposed to have been considered the most beautiful woman ever.
