Time for Your Summer Skin Routine…
Winter is hard on your complexion. Now that the summer months are here, it’s time to truly spoil your skin.
- Carrot seed essential oil sunscreen – Simply by adding 2 to 3 drops of this essential oil to your favorite sunscreen, you can smell amazing while protecting your skin from damaging rays.
- Orange and Royal Hawaiian sandalwood essential oils for dewy skin – These super hydrating skincare routines will banish dry skin. You can moisturize and wash your face at the same time with Hawaiian sandalwood essential oil in your normal face-wash/moisturizer. For a natural glow, to your usual night cream, add orange essential oil.
- Grapefruit and geranium essential oils – Even if you avoid sunburn, your skin can be damaged by sun exposure. To your favorite body butter, add three drops of grapefruit and geranium essential oils. This will give you a healthy dose of hydration every time you apply it.
Summer Haircare with Essential Oils
Do you need to tame that mane? Hot, humid climates can be your hair’s worst enemy if you experience frizzy, wild, unmanageable hair in those conditions. You can calm those frizzies and reduce tangles if, into your standard hair oil, you add one drop of geranium.
Supply your hair with nourishing ingredients while giving it a beachy vibe by spraying your hair with this do-it-yourself hairspray: cedarwood, lavender, and rosemary. Bring out the mermaid in you!
For a cooling sensation, and to help eliminate unwanted product buildup, add a drop of eucalyptus and German chamomile to the shampoo you ordinarily use.
