Got Plants? Here’s How to Infuse Them Into Your Beauty Routine.

Harness the power of plant-based energy for your beauty regimen with Plant-Powered Beauty: The Essential Guide to Using Plant-Based Ingredients for Health, Wellness, and Personal Skincare, an inspo-packed book including over 50 easy-to-follow recipes to make plant-based skincare and beauty products. 

Delve in for tips and guidance from two aromatherapists and natural beauty experts—authors Amy Galper, the Co-Founder of New York Institute of Aromatic Studies, and Christina Daigneault, her former student. Together, they deliver a long-awaited resource for those who are ready to harness the power of plant-based energy to maintain their natural beauty and promote health and well-being.

They also show readers how to deconstruct beauty labels, parse ingredient lists, make informed decisions about the products they use, and better understand how their skin works. 

“I want to continue to educate and celebrate plants as well as use them for health and wellness purposes,” says Galper. “We can become better people by having a better sense of smell.” 

Want a sneak peek? Check out a few, key benefits of essential oils here:

>> Increase Productivity + Improve Focus.

Essential oils raise levels of norepinephrine, a brain chemical linked to executive decision-making and motivation.

>> Ditch the Stress.

Looking to banish stress and anxiety the natural way? Certain essential oils immediately induce the feeling of peace and relaxation, bringing a sense of calm to whatever challenges you might face. 

>> Expand Creativity.

Have the desire to create, but experiencing that all-too-familiar writer’s block? Aromatherapy can help get the creative juices flowing and increase clarity and vision. Even Leonardo da Vinci is thought to have used them to induce inspiration! 

>> Sleep Better.

Not getting enough shut-eye and feeling even more tired in the morning? Sleep deprivation can lead to a host of issues such as a weakened immune system, cognitive impairment, increased risk of accidents, and poor work performance. Select essential oils can help get you back to feeling energized and refreshed from a great night’s sleep.
