Enessa Organic Aromatherapy Products

I have always wanted to understand a little more about aromatherapy, so I was excited to get the chance to try Enessa’s line of organic aromatherapy skin care products.  Aromatherapy is the art of using essential oils to enhance health, beauty and psychological well-being.  Essential oils are the concentrated extracts from plants, flowers, and herbs with unique scents that have an effect on mood and health.  If you have ever had an aromatherapy massage, you will remember the way that the distinct scents were used throughout the session to evoke specific feelings of relaxation.

Enessa creator Michelle Ornstein was inspired by her family’s experiences with natural medicine in Israel to create a spa and skin care line in the United States that used these ancient ideas about nature and essential oils for health and healing.  Ornstein believes that “essential oils penetrate into the bloodstream, detoxifying and balancing the entire body.”  I love the growth of natural skin care lines lately, so I am impressed with the concept of essential oils as the base for an organic line.

Enessa Bio-Exfoliant

I am a huge fan of organic exfoliants, so I was excited to try the Bio-Exfoliant.  It is made from Dead Sea salts, seaweed, and flaxseeds with essential oil of Lemon, which creates a fabulous combination of texture and fragrance.  The gritty muddy exfoliant looks and smells exactly like Dead Sea mud, which definitely feels natural and healing as you scrub it into your skin.  I like the idea of a combination of an exfoliant with a mud mask for removal of dead skin cells and mild moisturizer.  I will definitely be continuing to use this!

Enessa Facial Nourishment in Rosewood

Enessa has three different types of facial nourishments for three skin types: Normal to Dry, Normal to Oily, and Dry.  Each type uses a specific essential oil to treat the skin.  Natural oils are a great way to moisturize skin by mimicking the human body’s mechanism for moisturizing.  The Rosewood oil has a strong fragrance and only a slightly greasy feel.  I would recommend only using the tiniest amount everyday to stay moisturized.

I love the idea of incorporating aromatherapy elements into your everyday life.  The distinct scents and textures of the Enessa products instantly transported me to a spa!  You can find out more about Enessa’s aromatherapy skin care line and the benefits of a natural skin care routine online at Enessa.
