When the winter months hit, it is easy to find yourself falling out of your healthy diet and lifestyle habits. The colder, shorter, gloomier days make some of our favorite fruits and vegetables go out of season, lower our motivation to go on that morning run, and leaves us dreaming of the warm summer months.
The effects of winter on your overall physical and mental well-being don’t have to stick around like snow on the mountains. The versatility of lavender and peppermint essential oils hold a vast array of benefits to get anyone through the winter blues.
Dry and Irritated Winter Skin:
It is commonly known outdoors, sharp winter air holds less moisture. While indoors, heating systems also dry out the air. Therefore, causing the skin to feel dry, irritated, and sometimes, even crack! Luckily, lavender essential oil can help restore collagen, allowing your skin to lock in its natural moisture and build a protective barrier between you and the cold climate. Additionally, the antifungal properties of lavender can help tame winter flare ups such as eczema and other skin related conditions that can cause discomfort from the dry winter air.
Our Body Butter is made from lavender essential oils, vitamin E oil, and Shea Butter, creating the perfect combination of antioxidant benefits and hydration. This combination will help restore your skin barrier naturally and increase overall elasticity.
If you’re looking for a product that brings benefits to all areas of your body, this is the one for you! After applying to your skin, rub a small amount of our Body Butter to the ends of your hair to lock in moisture and help repair damaged ends!
Building your Immune System:
Taking care of your health and wellness during the winter months goes deeper than your skin. Due to the colder and shorter days, your body has a reduced chance of receiving Vitamin D, which is an important element to maintaining a strong immune system. Additionally, the lower temperatures can also impact the rejuvenating properties of your cells and decrease immune response. These factors, along with an increased risk of exposure to the seasonal cold and flu, can leave a negative effect on your physical and mental well-being. Through precautionary measures, you can build up and even enhance your immune system when incorporating lavender and peppermint essential oils into your daily routine.
The Baby Bear Farm Lavender and Peppermint Spray, as well as the Sweet Dreams Pillow Mist are packed with anti-viral, anti-microbial, anti-bacterial, and antioxidant properties to help enhance your body’s natural immune system. The unique menthol and cooling effects of the peppermint oil can help support healthy breathing and reduce congestion.
