Oh how I love essential oils, and this week’s balanced beauty product pick of the week is a petitgrain-infused winner.  Petitgrain, extracted from the leaves of orange trees, is known to both clear this skin and soothe your whole nervous system.  Celebrity makeup artist Chantal Moore explains all about this must-have for Summer skin.

From Chantal: ” This weeks product pick is Aesop Petitgrain Hydrating Body Gel. Just in time to save you from the ravages of the Summer sun and certain skin baring necessities- this light, soothing skin saver has your back ( or anything) if you overdue your sun exposure this season and get the dreaded sun burn, and it’s also great for bringing cooling, calming relief to sensitive skin after waxing and shaving. This gel formula contains witch hazel and aloe vera juice combining their skin soothing, hydrating, anti-oxidant properties with grapefruit and lemon peel for a refreshing citrus scent.  Aesop is an Australian skincare company that has been formulating their line with plant based ingredients for 25 years. This is a trusted brand- and Aesop Petitgrain Hydrating Body Gel is a product, that once tried, you won’t want to be without this Summer.”
