 The skin is the largest organ of the body. It is the first line of defence, and is responsible for elimination of fully one quarter of the body's toxins. Conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and acne reflect imbalance in the body as a whole. When fatty oils such as nut and seed oils like almond, hazelnut, grapeseed and pumpkin are mixed with essential oils, each can penetrate the skin more deeply.
