Summer Beauty
Summer beauty should be simple. Forget the heavy lotions and make up, instead try the less is more approach and allow your healthy, natural glow shine through. Make sure you cleanse and hydrate with products that won’t make you break out. With the added heat and humidity it’s a good idea to switch up your skin care routine. I make sure to double cleanse in the evening with a cleansing oil and followed by a nourishing cleanser that will help keep my skin from developing clogging pores. If you are going to splurge on something, I’d add in this vitamin C serum or Vintner’s Daughter active botanical serum. Today I’m sharing my favorite essential oil beauty blends. They are all easy to make, effective, and good for you! If you are missing an essential oil, doterra has it all.
