Away, away dry skin

Love your skin again!!

It is winter and those of us who have dry skin are fighting the cracks flaking and general misery. If you are one of the lucky ones who do not have this problem I salute and envy you. For the rest of us, dōTERRA has a few solutions.

The first is the dōTERRA SPA Exfoliating Body Scrub.


“The doTERRA SPA Exfoliating Body Scrub is a natural, indulgent body scrub that gently exfoliates and polishes skin with natural sugar cane, leaving a healthy, natural glow. Infused with CPTG® essential oils of Wild Orange, Grapefruit, and Ginger, this luxurious scrub provides a custom at-home spa experience that entices the senses, pampers the body, and warms the soul. Formulated with a rich blend of kukui, macadamia, and coconut oils, the doTERRA SPA Exfoliating Body Scrub not only removes dead skin cells through exfoliation, but replaces vital hydration to keep skin looking smooth and soft. “

I use this on my legs and arms, and it really does gently exfoliates the skin and leaves the skin with a smooth luxurious feeling. I love the smell it leaves after I rinse it off. The oil blend aroma of Wild Orange, Grapefruit, and Ginger is invigorating and warming.

The second recommendation is the dōTERRA SPA Replenishing Body Butter.

“Pamper your skin with the rich hydration and luxurious feel of the doTERRA SPA Replenishing Body Butter. The base of this natural formula combines shea and cocoa seed butters, known for their deep moisturization and ability to promote skin suppleness. Jojoba seed oil absorbs quickly into the skin and helps keep skin looking hydrated while avocado oil provides essential fatty acids to nourish and soften skin. CPTG® essential oils of Wild Orange, Douglas Fir, and Frankincense turn this indulgent formula into an intensely aromatic spa experience while providing purifying and rejuvenating benefits. “

This product contains coca seed butter, Shea butter, Jojoba seed oil, and Avocado oil along with the essential oils Wild Orange, Douglas Fir and Frankincense. This combination leaves the skin smooth, hydrated, balanced, and moisturized.

Since I have started using these products I no longer have flaky dry skin. My arms and legs are smooth and flake free. I feel pampered without the cost of an expensive spa treatment.

You can find both of these products at my business site.

Joy in the Morning

Or at least a little PEP!!!

Do you wake up foggy and bleary eyed in the morning?
I know there are many days I do.

Recently I learned some easy, inexpensive ways to wake myself up that do not involve excessive coffee, but DO involve Essential Oils.

 

Inhaled scents go directly to the Amygdala the seat of the emotions, and can enhance emotions and motivation.

First one:

Take  pure  Wild Orange oil and drop a few drops on your forearm.  Rub the arms together then inhale the scent.
Wild Orange will energize the mind and body. Also diffusing Wild Orange will energize and uplift the mind and body while purifying the air. It is a powerful antioxidant and purifier, and has a great scent.

Second one:

Pure therapeutic  Invigorating Blend, merges the benefits of citrus essential oils. We combine the powerful essences of Wild Orange, Lemon, Grapefruit, Mandarin, Bergamot, Tangerine, and Clementine with a
hint of Vanilla Absolute to form this unique and harmonious blend.

Take this blend  and put 1 drop on your wrist and rub both wrists together for a great mood enhancing everyday perfume.  Put a few drops in the hands, rub them together and inhale the scent.

Oils enhance the body’s natural abilities to get out and face the day.

Use either of these oils to uplift your spirits and motivation.

Reference:

“Amygdala is the integrative center for emotions, emotional behavior, and motivation.”1
