DIY Skin Syrum

Being out in the sun too long can be harsh on your skin. Moisturizing is key to maintaining healthy looking glow, and for those with sensitive skin, a gentle face serum with Helichrysum can make all the difference!

If you are just not a DIYer but would still love an option for keeping your skin feeling and looking its best this summer, try the Sandalwood Moisture Cream. It is seriously luxurious and lasts a really loooong time. I use it year round and LOVE it!

Stay Cool

Summer sports, summer festivals, summer day at the zoo = hot, hot, hot! Hands down, this is our very favorite summertime friend when we’re stuck in the heat! When you apply peppermint eo to your skin, it creates a lovely cooling sensation.

Our daughter overheats very easily and has used peppermint MANY times to keep her feeling cool. Here’s a simple DIY recipe to help you enjoy a cooling mist anywhere.

Root Beer Lip Balm

Don’t forget those lips! They can be especially susceptible to getting dry and chapped in the sunshine.

Say goodbye to sun-chapped lips and pucker up with the sweet scent of an old-fashioned root beer float with this easy lip balm recipe!

Don’t have time to whip up a batch? Just grab one of YL’s lip balms. They have three different kinds to choose from on a regular basis – Lavender, Grapefruit, or Cinnamint. Also watch for Vanillamint (my favorite) which is available seasonally.

Mineral Sunscreen Lotion

Yep, we all want to stay nice and cool and fresh looking in the hot weather. A nasty sunburn can leave you feeling miserable even after you come inside. But protecting yourself from the sun’s rays shouldn’t involve exposing yourself to toxic sunscreen ingredients.
