Rosemary essential oil is known since ancient times as a stimulant of the nervous system & memory. In aromatherapy, rosemary boosts concentration & positive thinking. That’s why ancient Greeks used to put rosemary on their hair for better concentration.
The essential oil from rosemary has a strong, woody aroma. It is highly regarded for its toning & refreshing properties for hair, leaving it smooth and shiny. 
It protects against dandruff & hair loss (acts as a stimulant of hair follicles in case of premature baldness while fighting dandruff).

Face toner is basically a water-based & an in-between skin-care step, used after washing your face but before moisturizing it. It is typically designed to rebalance skin after washing with soaps and cleansers.
Thankfully, using toner is so easy that makes it convenient for multiple use during the day. Ways of using facial toners
1. Prior make-up or/and after demake-up to stimulate & refresh your skin.
2. Prior sun exposure & before you apply your sunscreen.
3. After sun exposure for freshness, revitalization & skin repair.
4. For face & body use after your shower or after physical exercise.
How to apply your face toner
Close your eyes and spritz immediately on clean skin or on a small amount of cotton ball and then gently swipe it over your entire face, neck, chest or any other area that needs hydration.You can also wet your hands with toner and pat it gently on your skin, too.

With autumn just around the corner, there’s no better time to restore any damage to your skin due to sun exposure during summer holidays.
Holidays are definitely full of fun times! However, they tend to take their toll on your skin. During summer season skin tends to get dehydrated basically because of extended exposure to UV. 
Before we say bye-bye to summer days, let your skin take some rest & prepare it for the upcoming season! Can you reclaim your pre-holiday glow? Of course, yes! Check out the following tips on how to handle skin when summer holidays are over.
1. Cleanse
At this season of the year take the time to soothe and nourish your skin. You need to give your skin proper hydration, especially after holidays. Prefer products full of antioxidant-rich ingredients like turmeric and vitamin C to help calm, clean and brighten your complexion. Also some products that contain Calendula extract, Lavender or Chamomile essential oil can make wonders to your skin as they are calming, anti-inflammatory & skin repairing ingredients.
3. Serum
Look for high-quality serum to repair skin damage. After the holidays, your skin needs all the help it can get. Use a serum to hydrate and protect your skin. Serums deliver a more dose of hydration, anti-ageing benefits & speed repair because they are lighter and contain a higher concentration of ingredients. A serum as it reaches deeper into the skin, does more serious work at repairing and rejuvenating the skin than a regular moisturizer does. It contains antioxidants to protect the skin from further damage & it has brightening ingredients to restore your skin’s radiance. It has anti-aging ingredients to help ward off the signs of aging. Their use is simple, just pump a small amount into your palm and smooth gently over your entire face &neck. Use along or combined with your moisturizing face cream for an extra boost.
4. Moisturize
Apply moisturizer after you wash your face or take a shower so that your skin can effectively absorb the moisture. Moisturizing regularly will keep your skin soft & young-looking! Look for a revitalizing moisturizer to fight dryness, nourish your skin, and replenish and lock in moisture.
5. SPF
Spf stands for sun protection factor & essentially refers to the amount of protection a product offers against the sun’s damaging rays. But, you may wonder:”Why do I need to wear sunscreen all year round, even in the cloudy winter days”? Well, except for protection against skin cancer, sunscreens are the best & most effective anti-ager when it comes to prevent premature wrinkles.
3 Extra Useful Tips
❤ Indulge in long & relaxing baths.
Another way to detoxify your skin is to take a bath. Customize your bath by adding in water a cup of baking soda & Epsom salts. You can also add Ginger essential oil(10 drops) to your bath water. Lie in your bath for about 15-20 mins. After your bath, wrap a blanket around your body or a towel around your head to stimulate your body to perspire more and release more toxins. ❤ Allow your skin to breathe. Does your skin look dry after the holidays? It is time to pay more attention to your skin. Skin care experts say that one of the kindest things you can do for your skin post-holiday is to let it breathe. Stop putting on heavy make-up. If you can get away with just a dab of lipstick, then do so. ❤ Wash your make-up brushes. If you didn’t have enough time to clean your make-up brushes prior or duringholidays, now is the best time to do it. If you don’t wash your make-up brushes, they may still have fractions of old eye shadow, blush, or foundation. They may keep bacteria. When you put on make-up with these brushes, you are risking skin inflammation or irritation. How to do it: Put some facial cleanser in warm water. Use this mixture to wash your brushes with & thoroughly work the cleansing solution through the bristles with your fingers. Then, rinse the brushes with running water. Use a clean towel to absorb most of the moisture & leave them to air-dry completely.

As being in the middle of the summer, we are all counting down the days for holidays! We are just longing for the time of absolute relaxation lying on the beach all day long! However, preventing sunburns & sun damage becomes increasingly important.
Sometimes we have difficulty in finding the right balance between the time we spend in the sun absorbing some vitamin D & healthy living. Many people avoid or forget to apply thick layers of sunscreen on most of the body multiple times throughout the day. Although skin cancer & vitamin D deficiency are health issues with important increase in recent decades, lack of sun exposure can cause other health problems. Here follow some smart tips to help you protect your skin naturally & find the balance between carefree fun under the sun & healthy living! 
Avoid Sunscreen with Chemical UV Filters. Use Sunscreen with Mineral Filters
One of the most concerning chemical filters is oxybenzone, which is found in a majority of non-mineral sunscreens and many cosmetics. It can cause allergic reactions, cell damage and may disrupt hormone levels within the body. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) and zinc oxide (ZnO) are mineral UV filters that physically block or deflect the UV rays from the skin. Ensure Healthy Levels of Vitamin D If you are trying to naturally increase your vitamin D levels with the sun, short periods of sun exposure are ideal. Keep in mind that your skin has a limit. Overexposure to the sun doesn’t increase your vitamin D production and can result in sun damage. 
Healthy Diet: Eat Foods That Offer Sun Protection
Not only choosing the right sunscreen helps you to avoid sunburns. It may sound you a little bit strange but it’s true! Your diet plays a major role in your skin protection from harmful sunlight & boosts vitamin D. Nutrition works as a sunscreen that protects you from the sun inside-out. Eat foods that are naturally rich in it vitamin D. Prefer fatty fish like tuna, mackerel & salmon; egg yolks; beef liver; and cheese. Also include in your diet food full of Omega-3 as they help prevent skin damages. Cod liver oil can be taken as a supplement and naturally contains very large amounts of vitamin D. Other foods that are commonly supplemented with vitamin D, including orange juice, are dairy products and soy milk.
Extra Sun-block Tips
Wearing a wide-brimmed sunhat and sunglasses is a great way to avoid sun damage on the face. If you are concerned about overexposure, wearing long sleeves is also a great option. Darker fabrics are more effective in keeping the rays off, although warm during the hot summer days. 
In case of any sun irritation or skin dehydration, it's is recommedned to have with you a body moisturizer.I recommend you Bloomey After Sun Soothing & Moisturizing Body Butter.
Based on the healing properties of Aloe Vera, it is what your skin really needs during summer time.The rosewater, panthenol & aloe vera gel synergy can really rejuvenate your skin, provide a natural after sun treatment & sun burn relief. Lavender & tea-tree essential oils are also added to boost the soothing effect and give skin a calming sense.
Keep on enjoying the sunny days!

We live in a world where most of skin care products that we use on a daily basis are actually full of the most toxic chemicals. This also applies to personal care and especially for deodorants.
There is a lot of debate about deodorants and every day studies confirm that continuous exposure to toxic chemicals in personal hygiene products, such as antiperspirants, may be related to allergic reactions, Alzheimer’s, and even breast cancer in women. This may come as no surprise considering the fact that most of commercial deodorants are made up of aluminum chlorohydrate, as well as up to 20 other toxic chemicals. 
Let’s showcase below some reasons why we should switch to natural personal care product.
1. They are free of aluminum This is a significant advantage. Many safe to use deodorants rely on baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and plant-based ingredients to absorb sweat, which is a better alternative to aluminum. 2. They aren’t labeled as antiperspirants Most organic deodorant may act to absorb the fluids, but they don’t clog the pores from secreting it as many mass production antiperspirants do. But, how is this a good thing? Our bodies are actually designed in such a way that they need to expel sweat in order to cool down or to excrete toxins. So basically, sweating is kind of a body detoxification. 3. Organic deodorants improve your underarms’ health Some people get disappointed when they sometimes sense an odor when they switch to a natural formula. Although, the product is not to blame, as it usually takes a week or two for your body to adjust to the deodorant. During that time, depending on your body chemistry, you might experience higher sweating and some odor. This is actually a sign that your body detoxifies itself. 4. Natural deodorants don’t have synthetic fragrances Most people like deodorants that have a certain scent which prevails over the smell of sweat. Most of these fragrances originate from artificial fragrances that are a combination of hundreds and sometimes even thousands of chemical elements, often associated with a risk of health harm. Organic deodorants that work effectively use safe essential oils to defeat the bad odor. 
5. Organic deodorant (either sticks or roll-on) can be as effective as mass produced antiperspirants
Instead of aluminum and parabens, natural body care products use a mix of essential oils, baking soda, coconut oil and cornstarch. While soda and starch change the pH of your skin to make it hard for bacteria to thrive, oils act as antibacterial agents and provide pleasant scent. 6. Safe deodorants open up your skin pores Keeping your pores unclogged is good for skin health. 7. Natural and organic body care products help for balanced lymph nodes Balanced lymph nodes are essential as they decrease the risk of breast cancer in women. 8. Organic deodorants could reduce potential risk of breast tumor in women Antiperspirant chemicals penetrate into the skin through small abrasions and get stuck within the body. Given the underarm is close to the lymph node and breasts, if antiperspirants were to contribute to toxins accumulation that would increase the risk of becoming your cells cancerous. 
9. Nursing women reduce chemicals passed on to their baby’s milk
Nursing mothers would want to provide their infant clean milk, free of chemicals. Natural solutions help keep artificial ingredients at arm’s length. 10. A natural deodorant can help you keep your hormone in balance That’s because they’re paraben-free, they have estrogenic qualities. These chemicals can cause a disturbance in your hormone levels because estrogen gets absorbed through the skin. 11. Avoid further liver damage As aluminum allegedly could have downside effects on liver. More specifically, if someone already has a liver condition, it is highly recommended they consult their doctor before using conventional antiperspirants. 12. Protect the environment Buying organic deodorants means you oppose massive manufacturing that has a significant carbon footprint and poisons the environment.
Now that you know what’s bad about mass produced/commercial antiperspirants and what the benefits of using organic deodorants are, why not switching to all-natural personal care?

How we store soap bars after use, plays a significant role in the product’s freshness & makes it last longer. Soap bars should be kept dry after use, ideally on a soap base with holes and away from heat.
Recently, I have discovered a very simple and natural holder! 
Turn your loofah bar into a soap pad! You can either use the remaining one from your loofah soap bar or buy one. You can easily find it in stores with organic products or natural cosmetics. Thanks to its holes, it allows water to drain and air to circulate, keeping your bar soaps away from muck & hydration!
It can be easily cleaned by simply holding it under running water and giving it a few squeezes. 
Think natural!
