As Summer is upon us, it is time to take on the seasonal cleaning. Unlike what you think, we are talking about a Summer cleaning that involves your skin. Yes, you read that right!  

Winter and Spring can be quite rough on your face with the harsh wind, the extreme cold, then the sudden change in temperature/heat, and even the extra makeup (due to the lack of summer glow during both seasons). That being said, it is time to bring your skin back to life; give it a boost it needs to start off Summer: A good detox !

Welcome back! 

Now that your day is finished and your face tackled everything that came its way; it is time to reward it with a nice and relaxing night routine. We give the night routine a lot of importance because we believe it is it the chance of some “me-time”. We juggle so much in one day between family, work and school, so why not reward ourselves with some pampering? And what better way then to apply our favourite products whose smell we can’t get enough! 

As you know, hand sanitizers have increased in popularity recently. They are extremely useful in killing germs on the go. Plus, they can come in small and convenient packages that you can take along with you anywhere. One small pump and voila! You have got germ free hands!  However, with that being said, some hand sanitizers can actually be harsh on the skin. Also, as of right now, many of them are just no longer available in stores. Nonetheless, there are great alternatives that are easily accessible and much more beneficial in terms of skin care.This is why,  we, the Camomile Beauty team, have decided to share with you the perfect recipe to create your own hand sanitizer right at home. A simple, natural and cruelty free homemade version that also works!

Essential oils have many uses outside of aromatherapy. Many people use them to scent, disinfect and clean their homes. Essential oils are one of the best-smelling, naturally antibacterial options for homemade cleaning recipes. 

We all know that man-made cleaning products can be very toxic. Just one look at the warning labels can make you question the product itself. Making your own cleaning products may sound like a daunting process but you'll be surprised just how easy and fast it is. You can go green with your laundry routine, sanitize the kitchen and nix mold in the bathroom – all while making your house smell ‘clean’ – no scary fumes needed!  If you are looking for a safe and natural way to clean your home then this post is great for those wanting to dip their toes into green cleaning.

How Aromatherapy Works

The inhaled aroma from "essential" oils is widely believed to stimulate brain function. The oils may activate certain areas of your brain, like your limbic system, which plays a role in your emotions. They could also have an impact on your hypothalamus, which may respond to the oil by creating feel-good brain chemicals like serotonin. Essential oils can also be absorbed through the skin, where they travel through the bloodstream and can promote whole-body healing like joint and muscle pain. Some might say, this is a form of alternative medicine, and aromatherapy is gaining a lot of momentum especially with how people are opting for more natural homeopathic remedies.
