Homemade essential oils

Take your favorite flower blossoms and place them in a small bottle, filling it up with unscented oils such as almond oil, jojoba oil or even light plain olive oil. Place the bottle in a dark cool room like your basement and allow the oil to absorb the flower scent. After a good year reopen your bottle and filter the oil using a funnel stuffed with cotton. Now you can use your filtered essential oil for body creams and home made face masks. I used fresh lavender and got pleasant results. I will be doing this with Jasmine flowers and another one with dried orange peels to make orange essence and jasmine essence.
