In celebration of our new authentic beauty care line, we’re posting a series of blogs featuring the organic and wild-crafted ingredients in our products. The next ingredient we want to bring to you is Cypress. This uplifting essential oil is found in our Opulent Skin Drops. Keep reading to find out the many reasons why we love it!
Introducing – Cypress!
Cypress – Cypress Sempervirens Our Cypress Essential Oil is harvested via steam distillation from the mighty Cypress tree in France. The needles are harvested for the oil, and this oil is sharp and pungent in smell with a deep pine scent.
Why We Chose Cypress for Our Opulent Skin Drops:
- this evergreen-leaf essence tone skin.
- restores calm and is a help to those experiencing grief
- helps lift depression
- aids insomnia
- aids in lymph flow
- strengthens skin tissues
- benefits the circulatory system
- strengthens connective tissue
- makes a wonderful deodorant
Use Cypress On Your Body Brush!
Place 1 drop of cypress on your hand, then run your body brush bristles back and forth to pick up the oil. Then do your body brushing technique, spreading the oil all over your lovely skin! It’s just that easy!
You can also add other oils to create a homemade tonic for yourself. Oils that work well with Cypress and are also known to help ease lymph congestion are: Geranium, Grapefruit, Lemon, Rosemary and Juniper.
To make a blend, you would want a carrier oil such as apricot kernel oil, jojoba oil or almond oil. To one ounce of this oil add 5-10 drops of each of 3 different EO’s of your choice (from list above)
Add all of these to a dark blue or amber bottle and use one drop each time you do your body brushing!
