APPLYING MINDFULNESS TO PERSONAL CARE
If you’ve been looking for a way to clean up your personal care routine, to embrace the natural, and avoid harmful
chemicals, essential oils provide the perfect solution. Take a look at the following suggestions to see how you can
detox your personal care routine:
S TRY A NATURAL DEODORANT.
There is a lot of controversy about the potentially
harmful effects of antiperspirant ingredients on the
body. Many worry that the chemicals and
questionable ingredients used in deodorants may
absorb into the body through the skin. If you want
to avoid these chemical ingredients altogether,
consider trying dōTERRA® Natural Deodorant,
which uses ingredients like beeswax, coconut oil,
Shea butter, and essential oils to nourish the skin
and fight against body odor. Not only does this
formula utilize the pleasant aroma of essential
oils, but it is free of aluminum, parabens, artificial
colors, and fragrances.
S
DITCH THE CHEMICAL-RIDDEN
PERFUMES.
While they may smell nice, many perfume and
cologne formulas on the market are full of synthetic
chemicals. Instead of inhaling or absorbing these
chemicals every time you spritz, why not swap your
pricey perfumes for the naturally uplifting aroma of
essential oils? The oils in your bathroom cupboard
offer endless combinations of beautiful blends.
Get creative and mix your own signature scent!
S TRY DIY RECIPES.
A great way to limit the toxic load in your hygiene
routine is to make your own personal care mixtures at
home. In addition to the benefits of essential oils,
homemade products give you peace of mind about
what exactly you are putting on your body. Not to
mention, when you put together your own personal
care products, you’ll know exactly what you are
putting in your body. Visit the dōTERRA Product
Blog to see how easy it is to use essential oils to make
your own sugar scrubs, facial masks, soaps, creams,
mouth rinses, bath salts, and more.
S BE KIND TO YOUR SKIN.
Whether or not you have sensitive skin, you want to
be selective about the products you use. Many
products on the market contain harsh and potentially
damaging chemicals. dōTERRA offers plenty of
gentle cleansers, moisturizers, and toners infused with
the powerful properties of essential oils. Whatever
your individual skincare needs, dōTERRA offers a
specialized line to help you address your skincare
concerns, like HD Clear®, Veráge®, Essential Skin
Care, and dōTERRA SPA.
S GIVE YOUR HAIR A BREAK.
Between the harsh chemicals in hair products and the
relentless damage of coloring, drying, curling, and
straightening, sometimes your hair just needs a break.
Help fortify and smooth your frazzled strands by
using essential oils in your haircare routine. Every
product in the dōTERRA Salon Essentials® line is
infused with ingredients that help clean, hydrate, and
revitalize the hair. By swapping out your regular hair
care products and taking a little help from essential
oils, you can reduce some of the damage done by
coloring and styling while you enjoy the lovely smell
of essential oils on your hair.
