BEAUTY CARE RECIPES
Going Green in your beauty care routine can still be glam! 
I've got a few simple and natural recipes that every woman will love. 
Healthy, beautiful skin can be achievable with a few easy steps and recipes.

 


 

DIY Cuticle Oil 

This beautiful recipe will revitalize and moisturize your nails and cuticles. Your nails will be summer ready in no time.

Ingredients: 
1 1/2 tsp. of
V-6 Carrier Oil
4 drops
Frankincense Essential Oil 
2 drops Myrrh Essential Oil

Directions:
1. Mix all the ingredients in a
glass bowl
2. Dip cotton ball in the mixture and apply to your cuticles
3. Let sit on your skin for 5 minutes, then rub into your skin and nails.

Beauty Tip: Want an easy way to bring your cuticle oil with you on the go? You can put this same cuticle oil recipe in an empty 15ml essential oil bottle and add an AromaGlide Roller Fitment on the top. You can roll onto your cuticles anytime, anywhere.

Why make your own DIY Cuticle Oil? 

From sunup to sundown, and often later, your hands are always busy. They are cleaning, gardening, texting, grocery shopping, and finger crossing. You're nailing all the things!

Those hardworking hands deserve all the TLC you can give them. Commercial cuticle oil and cuticle cream, even ones from so-called luxury brands, contain fragrances, paragons, and preservatives. Tell your old cuticle oil to talk to the hand. It's time for an Essential Oil-Infused alternative that nourishes without unnatural ingredients.

What is in a DIY Bath Tea?
Infusing your bath with these ingredients will deliver silky, smooth skin and a much needed relaxing aroma.

Oatmeal: This is a prime ingredient for self-care purposes. It is great for dry skin, oatmeal is the skin conditioner you've been looking for and even easier to find at local grocery stores.

Dried Flowers: They add a touch of fragrance and flair! It adds glam to your bath and has appealing gentle scents.

Salt: It is just the ingredient for relaxation. When added to your bath tea, it is just the kind of "sit back and relax" we are eager for.

Essential Oils: Well, this is an easy one! Essential Oils provide soothing, luxurious feelings and aromas that you want for your at-home spa night. They also are wonderful for the skin! The scent can transport your senses to a field flush with flowers. Not all oils are created equal - so make sure to find a brand with a Seed to Seal promise to back up their products.

Remember when I mentioned that not all essential oils
are created equal?

It’s important to know that not all skincare, makeup and essential oils are created equal – you can’t just go out to a retailer and trust that you’re getting the good stuff. Lucky for you, I’ve got a source I trust – and they’ve also got those amazing essential oils that help me feel relaxed and rejuvenated. Want to know more?
