Want silky smooth skin to compliment those luscious lips of yours? It is time to fall in love with these essential oils that contain properties to help leave you and your skin looking and feeling smoother.
Here are a few tips for softer skin. First, really hot showers can actually be damaging to skin! Although it may not seem as relaxing, it is better to use warm water, because when water is too hot it can strip our bodies of their natural oils and even cause slight burns. After showering, make sure to apply a rich body lotion or butter to help lock in moisture (see below for recipe). When going out for the day be sure to wear sunscreen—even when it does not look particularly sunny out, the sun’s rays can still get to you. And of course, remember to drink LOTS of water throughout the day, its one of your greatest weapons.
Another great ally for supple skin is essential and carrier oils, like the ones here.
