PM Practical, Female model.  Aromatherapy blending practical exercise one, practical exercise two. Aromatherapy facial cleanse and tone on a model. making toners with hydrolats for dry and oily skin. Restorative moisturiser cream.


A highlight for me was for the four students each making the same blend and then comparing their impressions of their own and others blends and the success of differant blending techniques. very motivating.  


Nice observable introduction to essential oils, energy and behavioural kinesiology (though we did not mention the words!).
