How aromatherapy works.

There are two ways in which is essential oils can be absorbed into the bloodstream.

1) Through the skin

Essential oils are absorbed into the body through the skin, by means of diffusion. As the skin is semi-permeable, the essential oils can be absorbed through the sweat pores and the hair follicle. Being fat soluble, the oil dissolves in sebum, produced by the sebaceous glands and passes into the dermis through the capillary network. They are then carried by the blood and lymphatic system throughout the body. This action is enhanced by massage. (more…)

Facial massage for a soothing effect.

Prepare a mixture of four drops of lavender and two drops of ylang-ylang with a light oil such as sweet almond, grapeseed or coconut.

Run a test on the skin of the hand before applying to the face. Give you a skin massagein a circle motion. Then rinse with plenty of water.

The other day I knew what a good body peeling is. I had already done one or two peel but with a Shower Gel, but this time I used one with sea salt, marine extracts and natural oils like almond and wheat. The whole experience was wonderful and you can not compare with the Shower Gel peelings.

Those who have used the shower gel exofiladores know that almost does not come with enough grains but with a exofliador where you can actually feel the salt on your hands is a different experience.

This was the way I did it: First I took a good bath with hot warm water. Then in the wet skin I applied the product and I massage in a circular movements . After I applied all the exoliador and wait a few minutes I rinse with lukewarm water.

The result? Wonderful, bright and soft skin as baby! is recommended 1 to 2 times a week a good peeling like this. Where you get this peeling? Well I use the exoliador called Geomar made in Italy. As I live in Germany I buy it at a store called Müller. For those who do not live here can get similar products at The Body Shop store or beauty specialty stores.

So go ahead and give yourself a good exfoliation, your body deserves it!
