Skin Care<\/a>\u00a0in the summertime can be just as much of a challenge as other times of the year. Not only do we need to replenish the moisture, we need to keep it there. Typically your skin has enough sebum to keep the moisture in and your skin nice and soft. During the summer months we are exposed to many elements that can remove or limit the amount of our natural oils our body has available.<\/p>\n

Sunlight is very important to our health. It helps our bodies function properly by stimulating our metabolism, hormonal systems and of course to make Vitamin D, just to name a few of its many pluses.<\/p>\n

Over exposure and getting a sunburn is not good and can actually do a lot of damage to your skin. Sunburn can cause mild redness, all the way to blisters. Repeated sunburns can lead to scarring, discolorations, wrinkled skin as we age and worse yet, skin\u00a0Cancer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One way to protect your skin is to eat a very good diet high in Essential\u00a0Fatty Acids<\/a>\u00a0– you know\u00a0Omega 3<\/a>\u2019s. Please note that Essential\u00a0Fatty Acids<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Essential Oils<\/a>\u00a0are NOT the same!!<\/p>\n

Now on to other ways to protect your skin. A good\u00a0Carrier Oil<\/a>\u00a0for the summer months is\u00a0Jojoba<\/a>\u00a0. It is the liquid wax that is most like our skins natural oil – sebum. Therefore, applying this after cleaning your skin is very important.<\/p>\n

If you are a gardener or work outdoors, you know how many times your hands, knees, etc. get dirty in an hour and how many times you are washing your hands. (Okay, maybe you use gloves, unlike me that usually uses her bare hands!) Even if you do wear gloves your still have wear and tear on your skin. Applying a few drops to your clean hands before and after gardening will help preserve your skin.<\/p>\n

Essential Oils<\/a>\u00a0that may help to stimulate your bodies own production of sebum are\u00a0Geranium<\/a>\u00a0,\u00a0Lavender<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Sandalwood<\/a>. Adding a drop of two of each of these oils to your daily face or hand cream or lotion may be all you need to do.<\/p>\n

Jasmine<\/a>,\u00a0Neroli<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Rose<\/a>\u00a0Otto are great\u00a0Essential Oils<\/a>\u00a0for\u00a0Skin Care<\/a>. These are good for all types of skin but especially for mature and aging skin.<\/p>\n

Other oils good\u00a0Carrier Oils<\/a>\u00a0for your skin are\u00a0Hazelnut<\/a>\u00a0oil,\u00a0Sesame<\/a>\u00a0oil , Wheat germ oil and\u00a0Vitamin E<\/a>. The Wheat germ and\u00a0Vitamin E<\/a>\u00a0should be mixed with other\u00a0Carrier Oils<\/a>\u00a0as only minute amounts of these are needed.<\/p>\n

If you have spent too much time out in the sun and do get sunburned a quick and easy help is to simply mix 5-10 drops of\u00a0Lavender<\/a>\u00a0in to 1 ounce of\u00a0Aloe Vera<\/a>. Aloe is well known for its use with burns.\u00a0Lavender<\/a>\u00a0helps to lessen the pain and to quickly heal the skin.<\/p>\n

Remember to drink plenty of water during the summer. Hot, windy days evaporate the moisture from our skin quickly and so we need to replace the inner moisture often.<\/p>\n

After bathing and swimming be sure to apply a good moisturizing lotion or cream to lock in and hold your skin moisture.<\/p>\n

A good summertime blend<\/strong>\u00a0that is good to help your skin stimulate its own natural production of sebum. This blend can be used everyday. You only need a few drops for your entire face.<\/p>\n

Roman\u00a0Chamomile<\/a>\u00a0– 10 drops\u00a0Geranium<\/a>\u00a0– 10 drops\u00a0Lavender<\/a>\u00a0– 15 drops Mix in\u00a0Jojoba<\/a>\u00a0– 1 teaspoon\u00a0Hazelnut<\/a>\u00a0oil – 1 teaspoon\u00a0Evening Primrose<\/a>\u00a0or Rosehip seed oil oil – 1 teaspoon\u00a0Sunflower<\/a>\u00a0oil – 1 tablespoon<\/p>\n

Blend this well. Apply to face and exposed skin to help keep it from drying when exposed to the sun and wind. You will only need a few drops of this blend. If you feel there is too much\u00a0Essential Oils<\/a>\u00a0and it makes the scent too strong simply add another tablespoon of\u00a0Sunflower<\/a>\u00a0oil to dilute down, or cut the\u00a0Essential Oils<\/a>\u00a0amounts in half.<\/p>\n

Soothing Sun burn Bath<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a tub of cool water add\u00a0Lavender<\/a>– 8 drops Roman\u00a0Chamomile<\/a>\u00a0– 2 drops\u00a0Helichrysum<\/a>\u00a0– 2 drops\u00a0Peppermint<\/a>\u00a0– 1 drop<\/p>\n

Place the oils in the tub of cool water. Soak for fifteen to twenty minutes. Do not rub the burned areas. You can repeat this bath every few hours until the pain subsides. Add a few ice cubes to the water if you want to keep the water cool. Use a small cup to gently poor water over hard to soak areas.<\/p>\n
