Here is a simple guide to which oils you might want to keep your cool with this summer! Hydrate your body with Citrus Oils!
We all know keeping hydrated is very important, especially during those hot summer days! Essential oils contain many minerals including electrolytes that keep our body hydrated! Citrus oils in particular contain electrolytes, which facilitate the uptake of minerals and help the cells of the body uptake, more Vitamin C. Plus, they taste great in our water!
Lemons, Lime, Wild Orange, Grapefruit are all among my personal favorites! Place a drop or two in your water. *Always use a glass or stainless steel water bottle when adding essential oils. Never use plastic.

Cool Summer Misting Spray!
You can also mix up a Cool Peppermint Misting Spray to help you beat the heat! Place a few drops in some distilled water with some lavender and mist to hydrate and cool the skin.
As with all “mint” oils be careful not to get it into your eyes. And if you do, use vegetable oil not water to ease the burn! And those with sensitive skin may want to dilute the peppermint first if placing it directly on the skin; or place a layer of fractionated coconut oil first then the peppermint.
