Protect Your Skin In Hostile Environments

I don’t know about you, but this time of year makes my skin so dry. I am sure this is especially true for those of you who live in colder climates where you find yourselves indoors for most of the day, and covered in many layers of clothes. Add to that the effects of artificial heat sources, and your skin is about as supple as your typical dried-out alligator basking in the Florida sun.

In addition to being rough and cracked, dried out skin is more prone to injury. For instance, paper cuts are much more common in the winter when dry skin is more sensitive to tears. Injuries aren’t the only concern with dry skin.  Without moisture, skin often appears pale, giving you a sallow and exhausted look. So on top of feeling rough, your skin is looking rough, too.

So, what can you do? If you really want to know how to combat this, I suggest you try some of doTERRA’s Citrus Bliss Lotion.

Infusing  doTERRA’s Citrus Bliss Essential Oil Blend with a powerful and highly-absorbent lotion provides you with a delightfully aromatic experience as it softens and hydrates your skin.

Don’t believe me? Check this out: Studies suggest that the antioxidant properties of vitamin C and its role in collagen synthesis make vitamin C a vital molecule for skin health.  It is believed that dietary and topical sources of vitamin C have beneficial effects on skin cells. Some studies have even shown that vitamin C may help prevent pre-maturing aging and may help repair sun-damaged skin.

DoTERRA’s Citrus Bliss Essential Oil Blend combines the powerful essences of Wild Orange, Lemon, Grapefruit, Mandarin, Bergamot, Tangerine, and Clementine with a hint of Vanilla Absolute.  Almost all of these components have very high concentrations of vitamin C. On top of that, everyone knows how uplifting citrusy scents are. We have all experienced the aroma of a recently-peeled orange, lemon,  or grapefruit. It is invigorating to the spirit. Using Citrus Bliss lotion allows you to experience the emotional and physical benefits of this vitamin-C-rich combination.


So, why not try doTERRA’s Citrus Bliss Lotion this winter as a means to improve the feel and appearance of your skin and possibly reverse the damaging effects of the sun. In addition to that, the energizing smell is sure to provide a lift to your mood on days when it appears the weather is trying to do nothing more than bring it down.
