Instructions
Ingredients:
Coconut oil, Calendula infused EVOO, Aloe Vera Gel, Witch Hazel extract, Yarrow hydrosol, with essential oil synergy of cypress, grapefruit and geranium.
How to use:
**SHAKE WELL BEFORE EACH USE**, hydrosols, gel, and oil will separate.
Massage onto legs from foot upward with long upward strokes. Do circular motions around knees and hips. I prefer morning time to do this, evening is also good. Consistent use over a period of 3-6 months will give best results. This blend was formulated for legs, but will also get cooling and toning for body and arms.
Available for purchase:
2 oz glass bottle for $12.00
4 oz glass bottle for $22.00
Contact Bobbi to order.
Coconut oil is very cooling and a lovely oil for summertime as it also has an SPF of around 4. Coconut oil is a great emollient and also slightly occludes the skin thereby preventing transepidermal water loss — making it a great oil for dry skin (and dry damaged hair).
Calendula oil is also cooling and highly anti-inflammatory, a healing oil — very good at helping the skin heal, it is and one of the best oils for skin. Both coconut and calendula oils offer anti-bacterial and anti-viral benefits.
Witch hazel is cooling and toning – as is yarrow hydrosol. Yarrow is also a very healing plant.
The essential oil synergy supports the toning and circulation benefits of this body oil/gel. Cypress is astringent and toning to veins — and stimulating to the lymph system helping to improve lymphatic circulation and prevent swelling in the legs. Grapefruit is also a top choice for improving lymphatic circulation. Geranium is also slightly astringent and helpful in improving circulation around cellulite and healing the skin — it is good at reducing fungal or bacterial infections of the skin.
