How To Keep Cool in the Summer

With Summer comes extreme heat! This is the moment we’ve all been waiting for, and so I want to share with you one of the EASIEST ways to help you stay cool!

It all comes back to one of my favourite essential oil discoveries... the cooling powers of peppermint oil!

DIY SUMMER COOLING SPRAY

aka Air Conditioning in a bottle ;)

What’s in this cooling spray?

Witch hazel: astringent that is cooling and great for skin

Distilled water: dilutes the witch hazel, so don’t have to use as much (saves money)

Peppermint essential oil: contains menthol which has powerful natural cooling properties

Lavender essential oil: soothing & calming for skin, plus smells great

Instructions:

STEP ONE: Pour 2 tablespoons distilled water & 2 tablespoons witch hazel into a small 2 oz spray bottle

STEP TWO: Add 4 drops each of peppermint and lavender essential oils

STEP THREE: Put on the spray top and shake well to combine

Here’s how to use it:

Spray on tired, achy feet to revive and refresh them
Spray on the back of neck and chest to cool down
While you can store this at room temperature, when you’re at home, I recommend keeping spray in the refrigerator for extra cooling power – it feels even better going on when you get the double hit of the cold spray plus the cooling powers of the witch hazel and peppermint.
Spray whenever you want to feel a little rejuvenated and refreshed! It definitely does the trick.
