The thing to watch out for is that the oils CAN cause irritation if continually used neat -- I find Frankincense will do that fairly quickly -- and Lemon is considered highly phototoxic, meaning it will make the skin far more sensitive to UV light rays.

1ml (35 drops) Sea Buckthorn Berry CO2 (this is the oil that's so highly regarded for helping all sorts of skin conditions, including improving texture and smoothness)
1ml Lavender
1ml Frankincense
1ml Sandalwood
That's a pretty strong formula for the face, though of course you've been using yours 'neat'...and I would be careful with the Lemon, as noted -- you can include it in the blend, just notice if sun makes your skin uncomfortable (I have noticed this as a feeling of a sunburn from being in the sun for only a short time).
Keep it up! So glad to hear the oils are working for you!
