Hello Followers,

Sundays are too short, and they are thrown into the work week out of nowhere!

However, you just need to know how to spend your Sundays correctly.

Do not waste a second of them, and make sure you set yourself up for a successful week ahead!

You can relax and rest, but you also have to make sure you save up all the energy you need for a busy but fulfilling week ahead of you.

So, again do not underestimate the power of spices and herbs in promoting health.

Here is how you can use rosemary essential oil for its cosmetic benefits.

1. To make rosemary peppermint shampoo

Mix ½ cup of castile soap with ½ cup of water or coconut milk and stir.

Thereafter, add sixteen drops of rosemary and two drops of peppermint essential oils to the blend and, voila, you have yourself a highly effective and chemical-free hair tonic.

Unlike conventional shampoos that strip your hair of their natural oils, this homemade rosemary peppermint shampoo helps to add body to your hair, strengthen your hair follicles, and reduce dandruff.

Moreover, a good hair wash in the morning using this invigorating blend can work as the ultimate pick-me-up to kick-start your day.

2. To make a skin-restorative blend to combat wrinkles

Take equal parts of geranium, sandalwood, lavender, frankincense, rosemary, and lemon essential oils, and mix them well.

Dilute the concoction as needed and use it topically to banish wrinkles.

Along with all the other antioxidant-rich oils, rosemary helps promote skin cell regeneration and wards off the harmful free radicals that are at the base of premature skin aging.

3. To make eye serum

Combine almond oil with twelve drops each of rosemary and lavender essential oils and mix them well.

Empty the healing tonic into a roller bottle to apply it on puffy or red skin under the eyes.

Since lavender oil is a natural diuretic, it will help mitigate water retention under the eyes and diminish the appearance of eye bags.

Simultaneously, rosemary essential oil will put its strong anti-inflammatory agents, namely caffeic and rosmarinic acid, to good use and reduce the swollen puffiness.

Caution: Do not apply this blend on top of your eyelids as it can trickle or seep into your eyes and can cause irritation or more serious retinal damage.

Rosemary has potent antioxidant, antiseptic, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and disinfectant properties.

The plant is also reputed for containing an essential oil that can preserve and even enhance cognitive functioning, including memory.

Additionally, rosemary is one of the spices that contain the highest antioxidant properties, all of which can prove effective against fungi, bacteria, and cancer.
