As for the conflict between skin care and aromatherapy, I would say it is serious enough to lead to a divorce. Essential oils contain irritants and potential allergens. The increased popularity of fragrance-free skin care might well explain the decline in aromatherapy skin care that you noticed. I have to say I hesitated a lot This is an interesting question.
