Let's prep you for the heatwave with fantastic herbal remedies that will keep you feeling fresh and fabulous all season long.
I know I learned that the hard way...
Aloe Vera Magic:
Ah, the evergreen superstar of summer skincare.
Don't be fooled by the aloe product you find on the pharmacy shelves. You'll be lucky if they contain any aloe vera at all!
The gel-like consistency is formed from synthetic polymers very similar to your regular hair gels. Other than a little cooling action (which you can get from water BTW) you're not likely getting any other benefits.
In your grocery store, you can find a beautiful aloe leaf for less than a price of a bottle of this gel!
The Aloe plant has incredible cooling properties that provide instant relief to sun-kissed or burned skin. Slice open a leaf and apply the gel directly to your skin for an instant soothing effect.
This soothing effect comes from its inherent anti-inflammatory quality which also stimulates rapid skin repair!
Pro tip: Store it in the fridge for an extra-refreshing treat!
Minty Freshness: 
Mint is not just for mojitos!
Its cooling sensation is a blessing during hot summer days.
Brew some mint tea, let it cool, add ice and sweeten to taste for a refreshing beverage!
Voilà, an instant burst of freshness!
Cucumber Coolness
We've all seen those classic spa images with cucumber slices over the eyes – there's a reason for that! Cucumbers are a natural coolant and a fabulous remedy for puffy eyes and tired skin. They also work wonders when added to your water, creating a refreshing drink that keeps you hydrated all day long.
Rose Hydration
Rose has the special ability to deliver moisture into the deeper layers of you skin improving the texture. It is a major ingredient in our alcohol-free toner!
Spritz it on your face to clarify and maintain your skin's natural pH balance.
Lavender Love
Lavender isn't just a delightful scent; it also has a powerful calming effect. Create your own lavender-infused oil by combining dried lavender with carrier oil (like almond oil). Use it as a body oil after a shower for a calming and cooling effect.
