AROMATHERAPY: SoBotanical
Opting for a diffuser this season? SoBotanical’s Fruitful aromatherapy blend hits just right. The blend of fruit oils (tangerine, lemon, and mango) creates a juicy, tropical atmosphere and those fresh notes of citrus and mango melange are guaranteed to put you in a good mood.

BODY BALM: PriyaMeansLove
You can smell the relief as PriyaMeansLove’s Mind/Body Relief Balm melts into the skin with its nourishing mango butter and cooling mint essential oils. The vitamins A, C, and E from the mango butter help hydrate and calm irritated skin while the mint’s properties are said to alleviate aches and pains, not to mention provide an overall cooling effect. This balm is perfect for a day spent too long in the sun.

ESSENCE: ierò Beauty
For a little pick-me-up, try the Moonkissed Serene Essence Replenishing Mist by ierò Beauty. An essence can help hydrate and restore the skin; this blend is rich with fan-fave ingredients, notably rosewater for ultimate refreshment and prickly pear extract for its anti-inflammatory proper- ties. But the addition of detoxifying grape seed extract and restorative pomegranate extract is what makes this summer mist
a must.
