Product Of The Week:
You know I'm all about clean products that actually work, and my love for Primally Pure runs deep! They just launched a brand new product, and I couldn't wait to share it with you because it's not for your skin, but for your senses!
Say goodbye to boring showers and hello to a spa-like experience with their Bergamot + Eucalyptus Shower Steamer. ✨
It is packed with aromatic essential oils that are activated by the steam, releasing a stress-relieving blend of bergamot and eucalyptus. Deeply relax, detoxify, and decongest as you inhale the calming and invigorating scent.
Bergamot is a citrus fruit, primarily grown in southern Italy, that offers more than just a calming aroma:
1. Potential Mood Booster: Studies suggest bergamot oil may alleviate anxiety and depression symptoms. Its uplifting fragrance can be attributed to compounds like linalool, known for its calming effects on the nervous system.
2. Antibacterial and Antiseptic Properties: Certain components in bergamot oil possess antibacterial and antiseptic properties, potentially aiding in wound healing and managing minor skin concerns.
3. Immune System Support: Bergamot's potential antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties may contribute to a healthy immune system. However, it's not a substitute for a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.
Eucalyptus offers a similar spotlight to bergamot and boasts:
1.Respiratory Relief: Eucalyptus oil is widely known for its decongestant properties, helping clear nasal passages and airways. It can be particularly beneficial in managing symptoms of colds, coughs, and sinus congestion.
2. Antibacterial and Antiseptic Properties: Like bergamot, eucalyptus oil exhibits antibacterial and antiseptic properties, contributing to wound healing and potentially managing minor skin issues.
3. Pain Relief: Studies suggest eucalyptus oil may offer pain relief for headaches and muscle aches due to its anti-inflammatory properties.
4. Mental Clarity and Focus: Eucalyptus oil's invigorating aroma can stimulate the mind and improve focus, potentially enhancing cognitive function and alertness.
Living in an apartment in the city without a bathtub has definitely changed my self-care routine! But I'm excited to try Primally Pure's new Bergamot and Eucalyptus Shower Steamer. While it might not be the exact same as a luxurious bath, I'm curious to see if it offers similar relaxation and aromatherapy benefits. Have any of you tried shower steamers before? What are your thoughts?
