Summer is almost here! Actually in Atlanta, GA between 12pm-5pm it feels like all you want to d o is deep in the pool and stay away from sun, because it gets HOT! That’s the season when we girls, wear our fancy dresses, blouses and short skirts. It’s time to show some skin, ladies! :) So let’s make it look good, healthy, glowing and ready for the beach!
So, which essential oils and natural oils or butters are good for our skin? Momma Nature offers us plenty of its’ valuable gifts to use for natural skin care.
Let’s take the most talked about problem when it comes to bikini season – cellulite. Yep…very sensitive subject, but with a little persistence and patience, essential oils like Grapefruit, Lemon, Cedar Wood, Peppermint, Palmarosa and Cypress can really help to reduce that orange peel appearance. All we got to do is use those in a right blend, correct proportions and invest $5- $7 in wooden massaging brush available even on Amazon. Massaging problem areas with anti-cellulite aromatherapeutic blend two to three times daily should show results within 4-6 weeks. It will save you big bucks compare to expensive anti-cellulite treatments in Spas, plus you will get to exercise your triceps :). It’s important to remember that anti-cellulite blend is best when made by a qualified aromatherapist, because being careless with photosynthesizing oils like grapefruit and lemon may cause a serious burn if skin will be exposed to direct sunlight. It’s also important to have this blend done with the right base oil and aromatherapist will definitely use the right oil for your skin type. So how do these oils help to reduce cellulite? Some of them help the detoxification process deeper in the skin layers and others help to increase blood circulation and smooth the top layer of the skin. By all means you need to help your body to flush those toxins by drinking more water, significantly reducing salt, coffee and processed foods in your diet and hitting the gym whenever possible. After 4 weeks regimen on anti-cellulite program you should notice visible difference in appearance of your skin. Another great thing to do is to have a glowing touch to your skin, especially when it’s sun-kissed after few hours on the beach. Myself I enjoy it very much, just look at the Hollywood ladies when they hit red carpet, their legs look sensational. So our Nature’s Lovers Inc. team came up with a concept of making Glowing Skin Butter. It’s made of organic and pure natural oils of Coconut, Shea Butter, Cocoa Butter and irreplaceable vitamin E, which slows down aging and helps to fight free radicals. We also add essential oils like Rosewood, Sandalwood and Ylang Ylang for a luxury touch. It smells great, moisturizes and gives your skin a healthy glow. Naturally, men could use it as well, especially if they want to highlight their six-pack abs :)
Another big concern of mine is sun damage. Always have been, because studying holistic medicine for 4 years and spending 10 years on Mediterranean island taught me that sun is good in small doses. My advice is to always apply sunscreen when you are going to the beach, tropical vacation or just know that you will be walking in the sun for few hours. Once you are back to the shelter of your home or a hotel take a shower and apply something soothing to the skin. There are few good natural after-sun lotions, but you can make one at home or simply order one from our website. We make our “After Sun Soothing Gel” with 99% organic Aloe Vera gel adding in it cooling and soothing essential oils of Roman Chamomile, French Lavender and Tea Tree. It really helps to sooth the skin and relieves discomfort of sunburn within 10-15 minutes. I keep a jar of this product in my fridge, because it even helps with kitchen burns.
In general, the best thing you can do for your skin is to use only natural and organic products, which do not contain harmful chemicals, parabens and artificial preservatives.
We wish you a beautiful summer season!
