Why Choose Natural Skin Care? 

Did you know?

• The average home contains 62 toxic chemicals that we are routinely exposed to.
• The average women exposes her self to 167 chemicals on her body with her daily beauty routine. 
• ​Over 80,000 chemicals are approved by the FDA but only 7% of those have been tested for safety. 

Why Does Natural Skin Care Matter? 

• Skin absorbs substance directly into blood stream
• Industry is highly unregulated
• Claims may be misleading (natural, maximum strength, instant results
• Chemicals in skin products are
  • Skin irritants
  • Endocrine disruptors (create hormone imbalances)
  • Carcinogenic (cancer causing)

It can be overwhelming to know where to start to replace your toxic skin care products! But it doesn't have to be!

Let me guide you with a few simple steps.
1- Go to EWG- see how toxic your current products are
2- doTERRA has a complete selection of:  skin care, hair care and body products
3- DIYer's- make your own easy, simple hair conditioner, shave gel, face scrub 

Rosemary Cedarwood Hair Conditioner
Fill an 8 oz glass pump bottle 3/4 of the way with apple cider vinegar. Add 5 drops of Rosemary and 5 drops of Cedarwood essential oils. Fill remaining bottle with water. 

To use: Pump conditioner on hair after shampooing and leave in for 1-2 minutes and then rinse. 

Blue Tansy Facial Scrub
In a small container mix 1/2 cup of almond meal and 1/2 cup of oat flour. Add 7 drops of Blue Tansy essential oil (or any oil of your choice for skin, although Blue Tansy smells the best and is my favorite). Massage well to incorporate oil into flours. 

To use: Use approximately 2 tsp of scrub and add a small amount of water to form a paste the consistency of baby cereal. Rub on face to exfoliate for a minute and then rinse well. 

Lavender Shave Gel
In a mixing bowl, combine 1/4 cup of olive oil, 1/4 of aloe vera gel and 6 drops of Lavender essential oil. Whisk until uniformly combined. Using a funnel, pour into 4 oz glass pump bottle.
