Summer Love for Skin

Do you enjoy the feeling of sunshine on your body…warming your bones and boosting Vitamin D?  We do, but by now the summer sunshine is adding up and we still need to protect our skin from the damage.  

Here are three of our favourite skin loving products for right now.   

Made with ingredients you can feel good about, Young Living’s Mineral Sunscreen Lotion provides protection against UVA and UVB rays without harsh chemical ingredients.  Instead, the non-greasy sunscreen offers broad-spectrum SPF 50 protection using naturally derived plant- and mineral-based ingredients, including non-nano zinc oxide—a physical UV blocker.  It’s reef safe and recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation!  Because it is nice and thick, we like to apply using small dot and gently rub to join them together.  It's comforting on the skin and feels protective all day.  

 

Lavaderm Cooling Mist is fantastic for helping you to keep your cool when it’s hot outside. It’s like the misters you see at the theme park that keeps everyone cool…except this one is all natural.  It’s loaded with soothing lavender to help the skin recover.  We like to spritz it on our face, chest and shoulders while out in the sun but it’s also excellent after a shower or before bed.  And it can double as a refreshing toner after washing your face.  Smells fantastic - spritz liberally!

 

Lavaderm After-Sun Spray is your best choice for those times when you get too much sun.  This plant-based after-sun spray provides temporary relief from the pain and itching of minor burns, minor cuts, sunburns, scrapes, insect bites, and minor skin irritations (proud to say this formulation meets the FDA’s requirements).  Its dermatologist tested and hypoallergenic. We like how it brings immediate relief, moisturizes to help prevent peeling, and even promotes healthy looking skin.  And it does all this without alcohol, parabens, phthalates, petrochemicals, animal-derived ingredients, synthetic preservatives, synthetic fragrances, or synthetic colorants!  Yes please!  I recently sprayed my body after showering and felt the most pleasant cool tingle all over!  

Essential oils can be life-changing when you know how to use them. We take the guesswork out — pairing the right oils with your daily habits so they become second nature.
