Rose-Chamomile Replenishing Eye Oil The skin around the eyes is fragile and benefits from light and moisturizing treatments. Chamomile (Matricaria recutita) and rose (Rosa spp.) essential oils are anti-inflammatory and restorative for this delicate area. (tip) You can find these oils in small bottle at your local health food stores. 5 drops rose essential oil 5 drops chamomile essential oil 1 ounce jojoba oil Combine essential Chamomile and Rose oil with jojoba oil and store in a one-ounce glass bottle with a dropper top. To use the oil, cleanse your face and leave your skin slightly damp. Apply 2 drops of the oil to your ring finger (you’ll apply less pressure with this finger than with your index finger), and with a gentle tapping motion, smooth the oil beneath your eye and onto the area just beneath the brow bone. Do not apply oil directly to your eyelids, as it can migrate into your eyes and cause irritation.
