Why Stress Affects Both Your Skin and Mind
Stress doesn’t just live in your mind—it leaves its mark on your skin too. When you're stressed, your body produces excess cortisol, leading to inflammation, breakouts, and a weakened skin barrier. Incorporating facial oils into your skincare routine can help alleviate stress while nurturing your skin.
The Benefits of Using Facial Oils for Stress Relief
- Calms Your Skin: Ingredients like lavender and macadamia oil reduce redness and soothe irritation.
- Promotes Relaxation: Aromatherapy from essential oils like bergamot and frankincense eases anxiety and encourages calm.
- Boosts Hydration: Oils like avocado and pomegranate deeply moisturize and restore balance.
How to Create a Calming Routine with HotChi Oils
Step 1: Cleanse
Begin with a gentle cleanser to wash away the day’s impurities and prepare your skin for maximum absorption.
Step 2: Inhale
Hold your HotChi oil close and take a deep breath. Let the soothing aroma of essential oils like lavender and cedarwood calm your mind.
Step 3: Massage
Apply 2-3 drops of your chosen oil to your face. Use upward, circular motions to massage the oil into your skin, focusing on areas of tension like your jawline and temples.
Step 4: Relax
Take a few minutes to sit quietly, breathe deeply, and let the oils work their magic. This moment of mindfulness is just as important as the skincare itself.
