Have you ever wondered what essential oils to use or avoid during pregnancy? Then this is the post for you!
Essential oils can be a wonderful way to make your skin GLOW. However, if not used properly they have the potential to be harmful.

ajowan, angelica, anise star, aniseed, basil , bay laurel, calamintha, cedarwood, celery seed, cinnamon leaf, citronella, clary sage, clove, cumin, fennel, hyssop, juniper, labdanum, lovage, marjoram, myrrh, nutmeg, parsley, snakeroot, Spanish sage, tarragon, and thyme.
As well, peppermint, rose, and rosemary should be avoided during the first four months of pregnancy.
