Spearmint
Most likely, you’ve used and worked with Peppermint. But have you gotten the chance to get to know Spearmint?
As always, start by referring to the directions on the Oil of the Week Page.
AFTER you’ve done steps 1 and 2, you can refer to the Spearmint Deep Dive in the Inner Sanctum.
You can also find tons of information on this essential oil in the Aromatherapy Practitioner Reference Manual and Natural Aromatic Materials: Odours and Origins.
Once you’ve explored Spearmint, I want to know:

I spent some time with Spearmint and decided to make your Green Facial Scrub ❇️💚. I also made me up a Face Serum to try that includes: Yarrow for acne prone and inflammation, Elemi for aged, wrinkles and healing, and Spearmint for anti-inflammatory and refreshing. I used Apricot Kernel for the carrier oil. I used 2 drops of Yarrow, 3 drops of Elemi and 4 drops of Spearmint in a 15 mL bottle. Drops equate to a 2% Dilution. I have been wanting to make something up to try for awhile and finally did it. I find I learn so much more by applying what I have learned. Thank you both for the inspiration!
Fabulous! I can’t wait to re-make this face scrub as soon as our materials are unpacked and we have a work space again. Keep notes on how the facial serum goes and share with us later.
