Summer is a season for road trips, hiking, beach lounging, and backyard relaxation. Wherever the season takes you, essential oils can help elevate your summer experiences by naturally supporting skin, atmosphere, and mood along the way. Here are some of our favorite ways to bring essential oils and simple skincare along on all your summer escapes.
Sun-Kissed Skin Support
Long days outside can leave your skin in need of a little extra love. Cooling, soothing oils like lavender, peppermint, and tea tree are great to keep on hand for skin that’s seen a bit too much sun or wind.
Try this Soothing Summer Mist with Aloe featuring lavender and peppermint essential oils for a cooling, hydrating touch after a day outdoors.
Tip: Keep it in the fridge for an extra cooling effect.
Outdoor Protection with Confidence
When you're exploring the great outdoors, essential oils can offer a pleasant, plant-based way to enjoy time outside more comfortably. Oils like lemon eucalyptus, citronella, lemongrass, and cedarwood are often used to create an aromatic shield in outdoor environments.
Keep this Outdoor Body & Patio Spray on hand for all your outdoor activities and adventures featuring lemon eucalytpus and citronella essential oils. Spray onto clothing, camping gear, and all around your patio.
Tip: Make one for your daily bag, one for your camping gear, and one for the backyard to keep it easy and readily available when needed.
Stay Fresh on the Go
Between days at the beach, hikes, and other summer adventures sometimes there is an extra need for a little refresh. Essential oils like tea tree, sweet orange, and eucalyptus are known for their invigorating and deodorizing properties.
This Pit Spritz with the aromas of eucalyptus and sweet orange help keep you feeling and smelling refreshed all day long.
Tip: For a head to toe refresh, don't forget a little spritz in your hair & in your shoes!
Follow up with this shimmery Sunshine in a Bottle Body Oil featuring bergamot and helichrysum essential oils that will give you an extra summer glow.
Tip: The shimmer in this body oil can be used as a cheek highlighter for a make-up free extra touch of sunshine for your face.
Road Trip Ready
Whether you’re road-tripping across states or heading out for a day trip, essential oils can help keep the car feeling clean, clear, and calm. Brighten up your ride with citrus oils like sweet orange and lemon, refresh your mind with peppermint, or calm the chaos with floral oils like lavender and geranium.
Bring a fresh, but calming aroma to your car with our Freshening Car Mist, featuring lavender, peppermint, and geranium essential oils.
Tip: Spritz into vents and on floor mats for a lingering scent.
Even in the summer we want to ensure you stay happy and healthy, so here is a Purifying Hand Gel to keep on the ready when hand washing is not available during your adventures.
Tip: Not only for hands, make sure to spray down high touch areas of rental cars, picinc tables, and hotels for an extra piece of mind.
