9) Are you following us on social media?

Last, did you know we are on social media? We've been sharing more practical nontoxic living tips on social media.

Please follow us these platforms: Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. This past month, there were tips on the following: detox your yoga, detox your hotel room, detox your sunscreen, and soothe your sunburn. In the coming months, we'll be posting more frequent updates on the Innovators of Wellness event.

 

On my family's recent vacation to #Columbia, where even SPF 50 could not prevent #sunburns, I learned that certain #EssentialOils can effectively soothe sunburns. 1) My kids and I loved #peppermint oil so much that we depleted that bottle first. 2) #Lavendar oil was soothing but not as comforting as peppermint oil. 3) #TeaTree oil was the second most helpful oil for sunburns and itchy #MosquitoBites. Be sure to dilute your essential oils in a carrier oil, like #FractionatedCoconutOil, since they are powerful and can irritate skin. Also, do a test patch on your skin since we have different sensitivities. And research online the oil you will use for any other precautions you should take. Use 100% pure essential oils. Another potential bonus: These scents may deter #BugBites! #nontoxiclivingguide #nontoxicliving #sunburnt #peppermintoil #lavendaroil #teatreeoil
