Summer Skincare Basics: 5 thing you NEED!

Every Summer, there is inevitably a day when you spend way too much time in the sun and get a terrible, horrible sunburn. Too much sun exposure is bad for our cellular health but you can give your skin a deep repair treatment…with essential oils!

This quick guide is a layout of the 5 things you need for summer skincare this season.

Frankincense - Frank is the KING of all essential oils. Frankincense is also an amazing skincare oil because it is fantastic for your cells! People of any age can benefit from Frankincense. You are going to want to use this one as often as possible during the summer, because cellular protection becomes very important during hot months. You should ideally use it before, during and after you’re in the sun!

Helichrysum - This oil is called “The Immortal Flower” because of its anti-aging properties. It is also used in blends for deep healing. Use this one on wrinkled skin and fine lines, or when your skin is peeling after a sunburn.

Lavender - This is the go-to oil for all things skincare. Lavender is best for balancing the skin - it is not overdrying but helps neutralize areas that are inflamed and irritated. Lavender pairs very well with oils like Helichrysum and Frankincense in a skincare blend for before or after sun.

Tea Tree - Tea Tree is an astringent oil! It’s great for acne and blemishes caused by summer sweat. It’s also wonderful for cuts and abrasions to help protect the skin. In addition, Tea Tree is often used for bug bites. Carry this one on you…just in case!

CorrectX Blend - CorrectX by doTERRA is our natural ointment infused with oils. Our Essential Wellness Leaders love adding oils like Frankincense to CorrectX and applying to irritated or burned skin!

Hot tip:

Use pure Aloe Vera as a carrier for your skincare oils when you get a sunburn! Just add a few drops of Helichrysum, Lavender and Frankincense to your Aloe and apply evenly to the skin.
