Best Ways to Use Essential Oils for Summer

Summer is a great time to use essential oils. There are lots of fun ways to us oils effectively. Check out these interesting and powerful ways to use essential oils that you may have never heard of before.

Essential oils can be used outdoors, as foot care, on vacation (both in the car and out), at home if you’re not going on vacation, and in grilling recipes. I hope you enjoy all these great ideas of ways to use oils in the Summer.

Outdoors in Summer

First of all, although sun protection is talked about a lot, not very many sunscreens are beneficial for your skin. Since our skin absorbs what we put on it in 26 seconds, we need to make sure what we are putting on our families is safe but effective.

Mineral sunscreen with essential oils is the best sunscreen because it doesn’t contain harmful chemicals that you or your child could absorb. There are plenty of DIY recipes out there but if you don’t want to risk making it wrong, Young Living essential oils (the only brand we use) now has a mineral sunscreen available. You can get this at wholesale or retail, but wholesale is always better.

If you happen to forget to apply sunscreen or your DIY recipe didn’t work as well as you wanted, you can also get After Sun Spray with a wholesale.

If you enjoy fishing or boating, these oils can help you get your sea legs (along with ginger). I apply peppermint and ginger before going out and then every hour and have great results.

After cleaning fish, use lemon essential oil from Young Living to help get rid of odors.

Use Essential Oils on Vacation

Always take your essential oils on vacation! Use a car diffuser or even just a wooden clothespin in your car vents and add this oil combination. You’ll feel relaxed and everyone will be in a good mood!

In addition, vacation pit stops can be creepy, but with the Thieves line of products you can know that your family is protected. These are non-toxic alternatives that are still very powerful. Use them everywhere you go!

Have no fear, a diffuser with these oil combinations in them can help you feel like you are in a different place. Diffuse these at home or work to help you enjoy some time away even if you can’t go anywhere. Essential oils for summer can be used whether you travel far away or stay in your own backyard.
