Aromatherapy Comforts Spa Accessories

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.

Great beauty product lines also live and die by this principle — and Ayurvedic treatments are the leader of the pack when it comes to individualized skin care. Ayurveda is a centuries-old philosophy that promotes a holistic approach to beauty — that means paying as much mind to your lotions and masks as you do your daily intake of water and veggies. According to its tenets, a skin care regime is most effective when it takes your dosha, the elements that make you you, into account. The creams and oils you use should differ, depending on whether you’re a dreamy “vata” (space and air), fierce “pitta” (fire and water) or easygoing “kapha” (water and earth).

Before you dismiss this as hippy-dippy mumbo jumbo, visit Bindi Ayurvedic Skin Care’s website, take its quick and fun skin/body type analysis and explore the range of products designed to soothe the rough patches you may develop as a passionate pitta or balance your restless and dry-skinned vata.

Bindi Basic Aroma Mist

A few interesting products include: Basic Aroma Mist, an ideal after-yoga toner that contains ratrani, a sensuously sweet-smelling essential oil; and chywangrans, a tonic made from edible herbs and fruits, which is rumored to be an anti-aging gift from the gods.

Yara’s Bliss, whose fantastic line of bath teas and soaps received a fond shout-out from me just a week ago, makes one of the more useful products I’ve stumbled upon this season: soft, therapeutic, squishy and delightful eye pillows.

Yara’s Cucumber Melon Eye Pillow is hand-sewn and filled with Jasmine rice, herbs and essential oils. The pretty plush cushion’s underside is lined in Bridal Satin. Pop one in the freezer and you’ve got an instant remedy for your migraine headache; slip one in the microwave for a few seconds and soothe your aching sinuses.

The next allergy-relief apparatus on my list is Yara’s Bliss Soothing Eye Mask, which can be used hot or cold to treat sinus pain, congestion and dark circles.

Candles are essential when you are trying to turn your bathroom into a relaxing oasis. When selecting candles fragrances, you can choose from relaxing scents like vanilla, invigorating citrus aromas or just pick a fragrance that you love.

Slatkin & Co. makes some great options. My favorites are Cinnamon Stick, Creamy Nutmeg and Spiced Cider. (Can you tell I’m thinking about the holidays?) Each of these candles are highly fragranced and burn up to 40 hours.

One scent that I really want to try is the Vanilla Caramel — two of my favorite things to eat!

You can choose now from over 20 scents from the Bath & Body Works website.

Since Halloween will be here before you know it, I might pick up the Pumpkin Patch and Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin scents!

Natural perfumes are made with natural ingredients like resins, absolutes, essential oils, and many times these are organic essential oils. These scents adapt to an individual’s chemistry. I can remember my first natural scent. It was a yellow rose essential oil fragrance that I bought before entering the 7th grade. It was a single note scent and very pretty. 

I like both types of scents. I don’t like to limit myself, but a natural scent is very unique and when wearing one, you sure aren’t going to smell like everybody else. If you are a natural fragrance fan, you might take a look at Black Pearl Botanicals. They carry single and combination scent products

A good place to start with the Signature Perfume Oil Sample Set. The fragrance notes are carried in a jojoba oil are available in a sample size for $14.95
