Alongside wearing SPF products I like to make sure that my skin constantly feels hydrated and has a healthy glow. Here are a couple of essential oils that I use to ensure my skin stays hydrated and protected from UV rays.

Add a few drops of geranium and grapefruit oils into your favourite body moisturiser and apply evenly for nourished and hydrated skin. This is a fantastic way of ensuring your skin stays clear of dryness and skin damage.

As the weather gets warmer we tend to spend more time outdoors. Which is great of course! Especially if we are wanting to soothe our mind, body and soul and reap the benefits of the sunshine.

Hair Care
To have found an essential oil that protects my hair from pool chemicals and sea salt water throughout the summer season is fantastic! To keep my hair hydrated and nourished avoiding dry, brittle breakage I regularly treat my scalp with lemon eucalyptus oil and roman chamomile oil added to my shampoo. I can now enjoy spending time outdoors without having to worry about my hair care!
