Aromatherapy
for Beauty and Skin Care
Beauty
is more than skin deep.
True
beauty is about inner health, happiness and radiance.
Since
the beginning of history humans have used the precious contributions of
the plant kingdom for health, hygiene, healing, beauty and pleasure.
| The
ancient Egyptians - experts in skin care, cosmetics, pharmacy and
perfumery - specialised in the use of essential oils for their emotional
as well as physical effects.
Recognising that beauty is inextricably linked with pleasure, health
and well-being, they knew that feeling good looks good.
Aromatherapy
is unique in offering much more than just a standard beauty product.
Essential oils contain cell regenerating agents that revitalise,
rejuvenate and renew the body's tissues.
They
add vitality not only to your body, but to your mind, psyche and
environment - and those around you also benefit.

Many
of Sunspirit's products are ideal for all round skin care. Specific essential
oils can be blended with a carrier oil or one of our Aloe products to
produce great natural moisturisers, toners, cleansers, treatments for
skin conditions and luxury all-over body and hair treatments.
You
can choose exactly what goes onto your skin and into your system according
to your changing daily requirements - invigorating or relaxing to suit
your mood, skin or body, and in whatever application you most enjoy.
Aromatherapy
allows you to enhance your natural vitality with nature's most precious
beauty accessories.
With this in mind, we have put together a selection of our most valuable
beauty recipes that have worked time and time again to produce skin which
radiates in natural beauty.
Note:
The recipes suggested for medical conditions are for gentle, temporary
and symptomatic relief. It is advisable that you consult a health care
professional if symptoms persist.
The
quantity of essential oils should be halved when using the following recipes
during pregnancy. The effectiveness of these recipes may be diminished
if products other than Sunspirit are used.
