Essential Oils For Beautifying All Of You

We have all experienced being in the presence of true beauty, haven't we? It's that person that walks by glowing from head to toe with a smile that can light up an entire room. So, what is it that makes that person shine so gloriously?

It's that inner beauty, that's what it is. When you nurture your entire being mind, body and soul, you have a tendency to radiate beauty that energizes an entire room. There are many ways to reveal this part of us, and we all have it. One way is through healthy food, good nutrition and staying active. Combining these methods with a holistic treatment can help in excavating that inner beauty.

Aromatherapy uses essential oils in many different ways, including caring for our physical appearances. Yes, taking care of the largest sensory organ of our body does play a tremendous role in achieving ultimate beauty. For example, geranium essential oil is used in aromatherapy for oily or dry skin extremes, eczema and mature skin and T-tree essential oil is used as a broad spectrum anti-microbial, astringent and for acne. However, beauty is more than skin deep.

Radiating beauty also means feeling good from inside. When one feels stressed, often times it will show in the way we carry ourselves, in our facial expressions and how we connect with others. Essential oils are well known for their ability to uplift the spirit and bring out that inner joy from within. Citrus essential oils are used extensively in aromatherapy for treating psycho-emotional issues, and many of them also have the ability to brighten up the skin.

What's great about aromatherapy is that it aims to balance the entire person. Yes, geranium essential oil is great for skin imbalances, but it is also great in calming the nerves, lymphatic drainage (detoxifying) and anxiety. T-tree essential oil is great for treating acne, but also possesses stimulating properties for those who are feeling weakened and tired. Adding these oils in an organic green clay mask or all natural cream will have you feeling and looking great.

This is how aromatherapy works. Not only does a person benefit from healthy, balanced skin, but there is also the effect of feeling well-balanced and nurtured. With the help of an aromatherapist, a customized blend can help bring out that glowing beauty in anyone. Don't you think it's your turn to light up the room?
