Whether you are male or female, you likely have some key elements to your health routine like exercise, good food, rest and regular medical and dental check-ups. Taking care of your skin probably isn’t a part of this important list—but it should be. Your skin is a living organ and a first line of defence against the outside world. Your skin protects you from environmental toxins and pathogens, gets rid of waste, regulates healthy body temperature and is ultimately the picture of health the world sees.
Men are often guiltier of neglecting healthy skin care than women. Maybe skin care isn’t considered manly enough, or perhaps men feel that beyond a good scrub and shave nothing else is needed. For women, the barrage of high-priced, celebrity-endorsed anti-aging products sold by powerhouse cosmetics companies contributes to the notion that skin care is a luxury for well-to-do women rather than an important aspect of a healthy everyday lifestyle.
One hundred percent pure and natural essential oils from a reputable company such as Aura Cacia provide a natural way to scent your own healthy skin care products. Masculine scents include cedarwood, frankincense, myrrh, and sandalwood, while female scents include geranium, jasmine, neroli, and rose. All citrus oils, eucalyptus, lavender, patchouli, and peppermint are neutral scents. Essential oils can be added to moisturizers, cleansers, toning and hydrating mists, and other skin care products.
