Long days of bright sunshine bring us to the pinnacle of energy, vigor and health. Summer-time is all about enjoying vitality and action, but things can get a bit overheated as well, precipitating the need for an occasional calm and cool respite from the pace and the hot temperatures. Here are some tips for making the most of summer.
Shine with positive energy by utilizing a palette of sunny, uplifting summer-appropriate essential oils including: sweet basil, citronella, geranium, grapefruit, lemon, lime, rosemary and tangerine.
Sun care begins and ends with indispensable lavender essential oil. This amazing oil protects, calms and soothes wind and sun tender skin while it supports healing and renewal. Incorporate into a gentle massage or a water-based spritz.
Cool and refresh overheated, exhausted clients with a peppermint and citrus combination of essential oils in a spritz. For an especially delightful application, chill the mister during the most oppressive dog days of summer.
Use a freshening and restful linen spray to subtly calm clients for treatment. Mist towels and table linens with a mixture of chamomile and lavender essential oil. Simply sprinkle a few drops directly on the fabric.
