Sebum is that skin cholesterol that functions to protect the
skin from losing excess heat to the environment while keeping adjacent cells well
nourished to give you a younger look. (To mix without the bergamot oil, simply use 12 drops of lavender oil).

One of the best creams out there is an all natural cream that contains snail serum.
