The best summer self-care routine with aromatherapy essential oils unclog pores, ensure hydration and help our skin and hair to naturally regulate themselves. 

As we dive into the sweltering heat of yet another (hopefully vacation, friends and family filled) summer, making sure we are carving out time to take care of ourselves while important can also prove challenging. We wanted to share our simple secret routine that keeps your hair and skin happy and healthy (hint: it's in our name). That's right, giving your skin and hair the ability to breathe is the way to know it's in good health. The best summer self-care routine with aromatherapy essential oils unclog pores, ensure hydration and help our skin and hair to naturally regulate themselves. 

Clogged pores lead to acne and breakouts, so we use pure tea tree oil for oily skin to reduce build-up and scarring as well as to protect our skin from sun damage. An ideal treatment if you have oily skin, tea tree oil can help soothe the skin after sun exposure, reduce rashes and relieve prickly heat.

Next up, we have to hydrate- just as we drink lots of water in the summertime to feel refreshed on the inside, our skin needs hydration to stay supple and soft on the outside. We couldn’t get through summer without the luxurious goodness of our Virgin Coconut oil for skin, which keeps our post-cold shower skin feeling soft and bright. 

Sometimes we need to rebalance the skin after constant temperature changes from being in air-conditioned rooms to the heat and sun outside from days at the beach and pool. When in doubt, our Neroli Patchouli Body Wash for dry skin paired with its body lotion for women or body oil for dry skin helps rejuvenate dull skin and revitalise damaged skin cells.

Finally, give your hair some much-deserved love with our extra virgin olive oil for hair. This soothing treatment is a great salve around the year but is especially necessary during the summer to stop hair fall while encouraging healthy hair growth.

We hope you have a happy, healthy summer with our lovingly made pure essential oils.

Song of the Flower XXIII by Khalil Gibran

I am a kind word uttered and repeated 
By the voice of Nature; 
I am a star fallen from the 
Blue tent upon the green carpet. 
I am the daughter of the elements 
With whom Winter conceived; 
To whom Spring gave birth; I was 
Reared in the lap of Summer and I 
Slept in the bed of Autumn. 

At dawn, I unite with the breeze 
To announce the coming of light; 
At eventide, I join the birds 
In bidding the light farewell. 

The plains are decorated with 
My beautiful colours, and the air 
Is scented with my fragrance. 

As I embrace Slumber the eyes of 
Night watch over me, and as I 
Awaken I stare at the sun, which is 
The only eye of the day. 

I drink dew for wine and hearken to 
The voices of the birds, and dance 
To the rhythmic swaying of the grass. 

I am the lover's gift; I am the wedding wreath; 
I am the memory of a moment of happiness; 
I am the last gift of the living to the dead; 
I am a part of joy and a part of sorrow. 

But I look up high to see only the light, 
And never look down to see my shadow. 
This is wisdom which man must learn.
