Top 10 Essentials to save your Summer😎

Sunscreen products that aren't toxic!

Have you noticed all the buzz about sunscreen lately? It's supposed to protect us from skin cancer, but some of those ingredients might be doing more harm than good. It's a bit unsettling, right?

And let's not even get started on natural sunscreens. They can be tough to apply and pretty pricey.

But I’ve found a fantastic solution with doTERRA's Sun Care Line. After putting each product through its paces, I've gotta say, I'm impressed! Plus, it's affordable and gives me peace of mind knowing there’s nothing shady in the ingredients.

Here’s why doTERRA’s Sun Care Line is worth checking out:

Healthier Ingredients: Traditional sunscreens often contain chemicals like oxybenzone, which can disrupt hormones and cause other health issues. doTERRA's Sun Care Line uses non-nano zinc oxide, which is a safer mineral that sits on top of the skin to reflect UV rays without being absorbed into your body.

Eco-Friendly: These products are vegan-friendly, cruelty-free, and reef-safe. This means they’re not only good for you but also kind to marine life and ecosystems. Regular sunscreens can contribute to coral bleaching, but doTERRA’s formulas avoid those harmful ingredients.

Effective Protection: The mineral sunscreen dries sheer on all skin tones and is incredibly hydrating. It’s perfect for all skin types and ages. This means you get solid protection without the white cast or greasy feel.

Comprehensive Lineup: From lotions to sprays to restorative body sprays, there’s a product for every need. The daily moisturizer is a standout—it’s ideal under makeup or on its own for everyday protection.

No Harsh Chemicals: Say goodbye to oxybenzone, parabens, and phthalates. These formulas are clean, green, and powerful, providing peace of mind along with sun protection.

Switching to doTERRA's Sun Care Line is not just about better sun protection; it’s about embracing healthier, more sustainable choices for you and your family. Catch you in the sun!

Lavender

Planning a beach vacation? Don’t forget to pack this essential oil! It's a lifesaver after a bit too much sun, plus it helps you unwind and get a good night’s sleep.

Just rub a drop or two on the sun-kissed areas, the back of your neck, or pop it into your trusty travel diffuser. Speaking of which, I love doTERRA's Pilot diffuser. It's small, portable, and lasts up to 8 hours—perfect for any trip!

Lavender oil is also incredibly fantastic for those itchy moments in the garden. If you're like me and forget to cover your arms while picking zucchinis or cucumbers, you'll end up scratching all day. A quick rub of Lavender on itchy arms works wonders. It's such a relief, and no need for Benadryl! Personally, Benadryl knocks me out, so I steer clear of it whenever possible. Lavender to the rescue!

Catch you in the garden (or at the beach)!

Yarrow | POM

This is so freaking amazing for skin! I use it on my face all year round, for fading fine lines and wrinkles. It also evens out skin tone. But what I really want to focus on in educating you for an amazing summer is how you can combine this with Lavender and doTERRA's After Sun Spray.

Emily Wright made a video showing you the difference this combo can make. I've shared it below. And here's an explanation of the video so you get the back story:

"My daughter neglected to protect her skin before going out in the hot Mexico sun in April, and I was amazed at how the combination of plant-based ingredients like hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, red algae extract, Japanese green tea, arnica Montana flower and CPTG essential oils like Copaiba, Lavender, Frankincense and Helichrysum in a base of witch hazel rejuvenated my daughter’s skin overnight.

I love using the After Sun as a daily moisturizer year round. It leaves my skin feeling so soft and hydrated."

TerraShield

Let me tell you about this nifty little spray bottle of oil that’s been a game-changer for me. Just a quick spritz on your skin, and those pesky mosquitoes and bugs don’t stand a chance. Last summer, when the mosquitoes were relentless, I used this and didn’t get a single bite! 

But that’s not all—I've also got a non-spray version that I use in my garden. Whenever I spot some serious bug activity on my plants, I just rub a bit of this oil on the trouble spots. It works wonders!

Give it a try and enjoy a bug-free summer!

Deep Blue Stick + Copaiba

Planning to hit the trails this summer? Don’t forget to pack your Deep Blue Stick! This wonder stick is infused with Copaiba, making it a powerhouse for soothing sore muscles. Whether you're hiking, biking, or even just spending the day gardening, this stick has got your back. 

Here's why I love it:

• No Mess: Just apply it directly where you need it—no need to rub it in or wash your hands afterward.

• On-the-Go: Its convenient stick format makes it perfect for tossing in your backpack or beach bag.

How Our Family Uses It:

1. Post-Hike Relief: After a long hike (and yes, this includes Disneyland😎), I rub it on my calves, thighs, and feet to ease muscle tension.

2. Gardening: Spent hours weeding and planting? A quick swipe on my lower back does wonders.

3. Biking: Perfect for those sore knees and shoulders after a long ride.

4. Beach Volleyball: Great for soothing your arms and shoulders after a fun, yet intense game.

Deep Blue Stick is not just for athletes—any summer activity can leave you feeling sore, and this little stick is a lifesaver. Happy adventuring!

Breathe

Summer’s here, and so are all those wonderful outdoor adventures and vacations! But let’s be honest, sometimes the change in environment can bring on stuffy noses or allergies, especially if you’re staying somewhere new or visiting places with lots of pets. That’s where Breathe essential oil becomes your summer hero!

Here’s how you can use it to stay refreshed and comfortable during your summer fun:

1. Beach Days: After a long day at the beach, rub 1-2 drops over your chest to clear up any stuffiness from all that salty air.

2. Hiking Trips: Apply a drop on your sinuses before and after your hikes to keep your breathing easy and fresh.

3. Camping Nights: Massage a couple of drops on the bottoms of your feet before crawling into your sleeping bag for a restful night.

4. Road Trips: A drop on the back of your neck can help keep you feeling clear-headed and alert, especially if you're sensitive to new environments.

5. Hotel Stays: Pop a few drops into a travel diffuser to keep your hotel room air fresh and allergen-free.

Why I Love It:

• Versatile: Perfect for colds, allergies, or just needing a breath of fresh air while traveling.

• Pet-Friendly: Ideal for dealing with stuffiness around new furry friends you meet on your travels.

• Convenient: Easy to use, whether you’re on the go or relaxing at your vacation spot.

So, whether you're soaking up the sun, hitting the trails, or exploring new destinations, Breathe essential oil is your go-to companion for staying clear and comfortable. Keep it in your travel bag, and you'll be ready to enjoy every moment of your summer adventures!
