If you’re reading this, go ahead and give yourself a big pat on the back for surviving the ever-challenging “Spring Forward” time change! While we love the longer days that come with Daylight Savings Time, if we’re being honest we must admit that losing an hour of sleep and adjusting to a new routine definitely takes a toll! As if it weren’t enough to have our clocks conspiring against us, this time of year is notorious for another foe... the return of the dreaded seasonal allergies! IYKYK! Just thinking about it makes us want to sneeze! 

If you’re one of the fortunate few who sail through unaffected by the pollen saturated air, consider yourself blessed! According to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, approximately 81 MILLION people in the United States were diagnosed with seasonal allergic rhinitis (also known as “hay fever”) in 2021. That’s no small number! There’s a good chance that you or someone you know is part of this 81 million and, if so, you’re probably always on the hunt for ways to find a little relief!  

1. Limit Exposure 

This one may seem obvious, but if allergies are known to give you a run for your money, it may be a good idea to limit your exposure as much as possible. No, we’re not suggesting that you put yourself on house arrest and stay indoors from March until May, but we are suggesting being intentional with your time outside!  

Allergies can be worse during certain times of the day, particularly the morning and evening, as pollen levels tend to peak during these times. Given this fact, try planning to get your daily dose of sunshine during the middle of the day if possible!  

Pollen can also be especially troublesome on dry, windy days. Sometimes it’s better to just wait it out until after a rain to enjoy a little fresh air! 

2. Nasal Irrigation 

The saying "desperate times call for desperate measures” comes to mind with this one. Who doesn’t love the idea of pouring water into their nose in the name of combating seasonal allergies?! Sigh... It’s certainly not our most glamorous tip, but it may be one of our most effective ones! 

Using a saline solution as a nasal rinse can be a great (and inexpensive) way to give yourself the upper hand by rinsing your nasal passages of the pollen and irritants to help keep you sniffle-free! 

3. Essential Oils 

Here at Rinse, we LOVE our essential oils! There are so many oils that are amazing year-round, but during the Spring months we find ourselves especially drawn to our Aller-Ease essential oil blend!  

What’s Aller-Ease, you ask? It’s our fan-favorite blend of a variety of essential oils including pure lavender oil, lemon oil, and peppermint oil. As you can imagine, it smells GREAT but, even more than that, this unique blend of oils comes together to create a therapeutic aromatherapy experience that our customers love! 

Essential oils have a long history of being effective for helping with all sorts of everyday challenges and helping to promote wellbeing. The three oils included in this blend are known as some of the most common “titans” of essential oils, so you can be sure that they pack a punch when it comes to delivering natural benefits! 

You can take advantage of all the benefits of Aller-Ease in a variety of ways, but our favorite has to be with the Aller-Ease Essential Oil Roll-On! This handy roll-on comes packaged for optimal use and convenience! The blend includes Squalane Oil as a carrier oil, making it easily absorbable and ready for use on the skin! It also includes a rollerball applicator which makes using it a breeze! Simply roll the ball across the temples, forehead, and in between the eyebrows to apply and start enjoying all the benefits! Some customers even love to put a dab on the tip of their nose! 

Another great way to enjoy Aller-Ease is with our Certified Organic Pure Essential Oil! As with all of our pure essential oils, this one is made of the highest quality USDA approved oils so you can be sure that you’re getting a pure and natural aromatherapy experience! Try adding a few drops to your diffuser and enjoy! 

Aller-Ease is one of our most popular blends for a reason! Check out what our customers are saying! 

“I recently bought this product to try for my allergies. I was very happy with how well and how fast it worked for me. The roll on makes it easy to use.” - Kimberly A. 

“This helps calm my throat and cough against the miserable allergies I have!” - Katrina M. 

“I love this! I use this each evening before climbing in bed! It smells great and helps open up my sinuses.” - Jessica M. 

“Best Stuff! I have given this to so many friends & family, & they are amazed at how good it works, without any side effects!” - Beth A. 

4. Local Honey 

If you’re in the market for a tasty tip, this is it! There’s a long-held theory that many people swear by. Essentially, the theory is that by eating local honey you’re ingesting local allergens and thus helping your body build up immunity to them. While we admittedly have no idea if the theory holds true, we’re all for giving it a shot because who doesn’t love an excuse to eat a little honey!? 

5. Purify Indoor Air 

In your effort to fight back against seasonal allergies, don’t forget the importance of purifying the indoor air at home! This is often overlooked but can make a world of difference! There are all sorts of ways you can work to clean the air in your home, starting with the obvious... changing out your air filter! If you’re like us, this doesn’t get done as often as it should so take this as your reminder to go ahead and swap out your dirty filter for a clean one! 

It’s also super important to be diligent about keeping your space clean! As much fun as it is to feel a warm spring breeze blowing through your home, it’s a good idea to keep your windows shut to keep the pollen out. Even if you never crack a window, the tiny pollen particles are going to find their way in, so it’s a good idea to make time to dust and vacuum more regularly to help get rid of these pesky irritants. 

Another fantastic (and much more fun) option is to add some plants to your home! Not only are plants beautiful and cheerful to keep around, but they also can help to purify the air thanks to a process called “phytoremediation”. It’s a big word that essentially describes nature's way of helping to clean up our messes! Why not give your green thumb a try and add a few plants in your home to help clean the air and add a touch of joy!? 

It’s hard to pinpoint the exact cause of it, but it seems that many Americans are turning towards a more natural approach to wellness these days. In fact, a recent survey found that more than 40% of Americans report embracing a more natural lifestyle when it comes to everything from growing their own food to choosing more natural and holistic wellness remedies.

It’s an exciting trend to see people getting “back to nature” and rediscovering the amazing benefits of so many of nature’s gifts! We’re breaking down a few of our wellness favorites and giving you a gameplan for when you need a little boost! Read on to learn more about some of our wellness faves!

Frankincense

How could we start anywhere other than the “King of Oils”?! Frankincense is one of our favorite oils for so many reasons, not the least of which is its incredible wellness benefits! This ancient oil has been used for centuries for a wide range of purposes. It has incredible anti-inflammatory properties which can be helpful in reducing the inflammatory effects that come with feeling a little under the weather. A recent lab study even shows that Frankincense may have strong immunostimulant properties meaning it may help give you a little boost when your immune system is being put to the test! Some believe that it also has some expectorant properties and may help promote the clearing of nasal congestion allowing you to breathe a little easier. It’s a perfect option to try the next time you’re feeling crummy!

How to Use It:

• Frankincense Pure Essential Oil: Aromatherapy is the way to go here! Try putting a few drops into your diffuser and inhaling the woodsy, natural, spicy scent of Frankincense oil.

Eucalyptus

Another powerful oil with amazing wellness benefits is Eucalyptus oil. In fact, you may have used this oil in the past without even knowing it as many vapor rubs, chest rubs, and other over the counter cold and cough products actually include it as an ingredient! The key component in Eucalyptus oil is a compound known as eucalyptol or cineole. This powerful compound has been found to have potent antimicrobial properties. This, combined with the anti-inflammatory and expectorant properties of Eucalyptus oil make it a must-have in your wellness toolkit!

How to Use It:

• Eucalyptus Pure Essential Oil: This is another fantastic option for aromatherapy! Diffuse it alone or consider adding a few drops of Frankincense to give it an extra boost! This is also a great option for creating your own Eucalyptus rub by adding a few drops to your favorite lotion.
• Eucalyptus Shower Bomb: Our Eucalyptus Shower Bombs are also an excellent option for creating a warm, steamy, sinus-opening environment where you can soak up the benefits and breathe a little easier!
• Eucalyptus Essential Oil Roll-On: Take the wellness benefits of Eucalyptus with you everywhere you go with this handy roll-on! Many of our customers love keeping this on hand to help with sinuses and even allergies!

Peppermint

Peppermint is our absolute favorite go-to when we feel a headache coming on! This has been a popular choice among many when dealing with headaches or migraines because it contains menthol. We all know and love the minty scent and cool feeling associated with menthol, but did you know that it can actually help to ease tension in the muscles and soothe pain? It’s also great at helping to stimulate circulation which can increase blood flow and help to relieve symptoms associated with headaches. Best of all, using it couldn’t be easier and it’s minty scent smells fantastic!

How to Use It:

• Peppermint Essential Oil Roll-On: This is our favorite way to use peppermint oil for headaches! It’s easy to glide a few drops across your forehead or on your temples and let it work its magic! Try massaging it in as well to help soothe the muscles in your head and help them relax!

Thievery

We could go on for DAYS about our love for Thievery! This blend of cinnamon, clove, eucalyptus, rosemary, and lemon is the perfect combination to help you get well and stay well! We’ve already talked about the benefits of eucalyptus, but did you know that cinnamon oil also has a wide range of wellness-boosting properties including potential antifungal and antibacterial properties?!

While research is currently limited, many people swear by the amazing benefits of this unique blend of oils! Personally, we love the warm, uplifting scent that Thievery is known for. It’s perfect for daily use to step up your wellness game and to lift your spirits!

How to Use It: There are so many great ways to take advantage of the benefits of Thievery!

• Thievery Essential Oil Roll-On: This is definitely the most convenient way to take advantage of the benefits of Thievery! Carry this oil with you and apply a small amount on the temples or behind the ears to start reaping the benefits!
• Thievery Pure Essential Oil: As with many essential oils, this one is also great for diffusing! All it takes is a few drops to transform your space into a mini wellness retreat!
• Thievery Shower Bomb: The only thing that could make a nice, warm shower better is adding in a Thievery shower bomb to create your own personal aromatherapy spa!

Elderberry

Elderberry has absolutely been having its moment in recent years! With the trend towards natural wellness, many are discovering the potent (and delicious!) benefits of this amazing berry. It’s absolutely packed full of vitamins and antioxidants that can help to boost the immune system and promote wellness! It can be great for daily use to help your body keep unwanted germs at bay!

One of the most popular forms for taking elderberry is as a syrup. It’s easy to find many options in drug stores, but we recommend finding locally made batches that are minimally processed and don’t include a bunch of unrecognizable ingredients! We carry small batches of elderberry seasonally at our Monroe location so if you’re local, stop on by to check it out!  

Oregano

Last but not least, this list would not be complete if we didn’t mention one of our most recent favorites, Oregano oil! Yep, you read that right! This powerful oil has been on a nearly meteoric rise in popularity lately as many discover its incredible benefits. Packed with Vitamin K and antioxidants, many have been reaching for this oil as part of their wellness toolkit. Although studies are ongoing in order to verify the health benefits, based on anecdotal evidence, it seems there may be something to this oil!

We will forever remain impressed with the incredible wonders of nature and hope that you feel empowered to take a few steps forward on your natural wellness journey! As always, be sure to use any products only as suggested and be sure to consult a healthcare professional if you have any concerns or underlying health issues! Stay well, friends!

In our modern, fast-paced world, many of us have come to wear “busy” as a badge of honor. We are constantly rushing from one thing to another, trying to knock out our never-ending to-do lists and wishing we had more hours in our days. Oftentimes we end up stretching ourselves so thin that our health and wellbeing start to suffer. As if that wasn’t bad enough, one of the first things we tend to give up when we’re overly busy is sleep. In fact, according to the Sleep Foundation, more than one third of US adults get less than 7 hours of sleep per night.

Sure, we’ve all heard that sleep is important but, if you’re like many of us, figuring out how to actually achieve a healthy and practical sleep routine seems more difficult than getting a toddler to eat their vegetables! It’s enough to make many of us give up on the dream of good sleep but what if I told you that sleep is actually a major key in maximizing productivity as well as keeping our brains and bodies healthy, and that with some small changes and the help of a few natural products you could transform your sleep hygiene? Sounds pretty good, right? Read on to learn more!

As it turns out, there are really 3 components to a healthy sleep routine.

• Quantity of Sleep – How many hours are you spending in bed asleep? While the recommended amount of sleep we need changes over time depending on our age, total time asleep is extremely important to a healthy routine.
• Quality of Sleep – How much deep sleep are you getting? How much uninterrupted sleep are you getting? Studies show that quality of sleep may be even more important than quantity of sleep!
• Consistency of Schedule – Do you have consistent sleep and wake times? Our bodies were designed for consistent sleep schedules and produce hormones each day in preparation for sleeping and waking. Keeping a consistent schedule helps our body know when to start releasing these hormones.

Tips for Better Sleep:

Achieving a healthy sleep routine starts with figuring out exactly how much sleep you need. Having this information allows you to calculate what time you need to go to bed to get your desired amount of shut eye.

Since it can be difficult to transition from “on-the-go mode” to “sleep mode,” it can be extremely helpful to set a “wind-down” timer about 30 minutes prior to when you want to go to sleep. This timer signals that it’s time to turn off technology like phones and tv’s, opt for lamps rather than bright overhead lights, get into cozy pajamas, shower or bathe, brush teeth, start to cool your bedroom to create an ideal sleeping environment, etc.

This is a great time to start utilizing some natural products to help your body transition into a relaxed, restful state. Two of our favorite essential oils for this are Lavender and Frankincense.

Lavender

When it comes to boosting your sleep naturally, Lavender is one of the best and most popular choices to turn to! Chances are, just thinking about Lavender makes you feel a bit more calm, happy, and relaxed. Many of us have positive associations with this popular purple plant known for its sweet smell and soothing properties.

Lavender has been used for centuries as something of a natural medicine to help with a wide range of ailments from stomach aches to bug bites and so much more in between. Our ancestors knew the power of Lavender from experience, but in recent years it has been the subject of countless studies that have confirmed the science behind why it works so well.   

One of its most popular uses is for helping with sleep. It has long been known for its ability to help individuals relax and more easily fall into a peaceful slumber. This is largely thanks to its anxiolytic (anxiety reducing) and sedative properties. Recent studies suggest that inhaling lavender can help send calming signals to the brain thanks to a compound found in the essential oil called linalool. As lavender works to quiet the brain and nervous system, our bodies naturally transition into a more relaxed state, priming us to fall more easily asleep. Some studies even suggest that lavender may play a role in increasing the amount of deep sleep we get, which is critical for helping to heal and restore our bodies as well as enhance our immune systems.

There are so many fun, simple ways to start adding Lavender into your evening routine. Here are some of our favorites!

 Frankincense

Another fantastic essential oil known for helping to promote a good night’s sleep is Frankincense. This ancient oil is widely known as being one of the gifts brought to Jesus by the Wise Men, and its easy to see why it was such a highly valued commodity!

Frankincense comes from the resin of the Boswellia tree and has a unique scent. It contains warm, woodsy, and earthy tones with underlying hints citrus and spice. Nicknamed the “King of Oils,” Frankincense is known for an incredible range of benefits. Check out our Frankincense blog here to learn more!

Many people consider it to be a calming oil that helps to calm the mind and muscles, putting the body into a more relaxed state. The promotion of a state of calm, peace, and balance may help to promote better sleep in many individuals.

These natural essential oils are a great addition to any bedtime routine! Other simple, but effective, ways to help make sure you get your sleep schedule on track include avoiding caffeine after 3PM, utilizing blue light blocking glasses later in the day, trying out a sound machine, and making yourself a warm, relaxing bedtime tea!

Essential oils have become increasingly popular in recent years as many of us have begun looking for natural ways to enhance our health. As many of us are finding out, these age-old classics have been used throughout history for good reason… they work! It seems that when it comes to most common ailments, it’s safe to say, “there’s an oil for that!”. The popularity of oils like peppermint, lavender, and tea tree oil is unmistakable with people keeping these on hand for everything from headaches to bug bites to promoting a restful night’s sleep. However, there is one essential oil that has often been overlooked but is making a comeback. This oil is one that is so amazing it has been used for millennia, deemed “The King of Oils,” and is even mentioned in the Bible as one of the gifts given to Jesus at His birth! Yep, we’re talking about frankincense!

For many of us, our familiarity with frankincense begins and ends with the knowledge that it was one of the 3 gifts given to Jesus by the wise men, along with gold and myrrh. This fact alone should give us a major clue about just how valuable frankincense is. In those days, it was considered to be every bit as valuable as gold thanks its medicinal benefits. It was one of the most valued commodities in ancient times making it a fitting “gift for a King”. With all of these kingly references and a recent rejuvenated interest in frankincense, we thought it would be fun to dive in and tell you a little bit more about this legendary oil and exactly why it is so beloved!

Frankincense Origins

Frankincense is also known as “olibanum” and comes from the hardened sap (resin) of the Boswellia family of trees which is native to areas of Africa, India, and the Middle East. Boswellia trees have extremely thin bark which seep out resin when shallow cuts are made in the bark. The resin is then extracted from the tree and steamed in order to make the essential oil.

There are several different types of Frankincense including some of the most popular:

• Boswellia Frereana – Generally comes from the Middle East
• Boswellia Carterii – Generally comes from Somiland in Africa
• Boswellia Sacra/Serrata – Generally comes from India

The chemical compositions of each of these is slightly different, however our favorite, Boswellia Carterii contains 3 powerful chemical constituents:

• α-Pinene
• α-Thujene
• Limonene

Frankincense has been known to have wide-ranging benefits for everything from hair and skin care to stress relief and other health benefits. Many people keep it on them at all times thanks to its extreme versatility. While frankincense is great on its own, it is also known as a great “messenger oil,” helping to increase the effectiveness of other essential oils when used in tandem with them. In fact, there’s a popular phrase that exists in the essential oil world that says “When in doubt, use frankincense”. With so much “buzz” around this oil, let’s take a look at some of the fabulous benefits of frankincense!

Frankincense Benefits

Frankincense essential oil is thought to have a wide variety of therapeutic properties that are the result of the incredible chemical components that make up the oil including limonene and alpha pinene. Limonene is known for helping to uplift mood and energize while pinene is known as an excellent anti-inflammatory, making it wonderful for use on the skin. Thanks to the incredible chemical makeup of frankincense oil, it has benefits for everything from skin care to aromatherapy and more!

Frankincense for the Skin:

The anti-inflammatory properties of this unique oil don’t just hold promise for those suffering from inflammatory conditions, but they also are a major benefit to those dealing with a wide variety of skin concerns. Frankincense applied topically is something akin to liquid gold for your skin! It’s the best kept beauty secret that has been quietly handed down for centuries, yet so many have never heard of it!

In fact, it’s rumored that Cleopatra herself used it on her skin as part of her beauty regimen!

So, what makes it so great? In addition to its anti-inflammatory properties, frankincense also has astringent, antioxidant, antiseptic, and antibacterial properties making it ideal for using on the skin. It’s widely known as one of the best anti-aging oils available due to its ability to promote cell regeneration.

Several studies have shown promising results when it comes to helping with scars and stretch marks as well. It’s a wonderful choice if you deal with excess oil, splotchiness, or uneven skin tone as it may be able to help with:

• Oily Skin – Because it has astringent properties, it is fantastic for oily skin! It can help to regulate sebum production which helps to keep excess oil at bay!
• Acne – Many people suffer with acne at some point in their lives, and frankincense may be able to help! The astringent properties combined with the anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties have been found to help many who struggle with acne. Not only can it help to kill acne-causing bacteria, but many find that it also helps to make acne scars less noticeable!
• Fine Lines & Wrinkles – Known as one of the best anti-aging essential oils, frankincense has a reputation for helping to slow down fine lines and wrinkles! The astringent properties help to lift and tighten the skin, while it also works to help promote cell regeneration!
• Pores – Similar to how it may be able to help slow fine lines and wrinkles, many find that the astringent, skin-tightening properties help to reduce the appearance of large pores!
• Sun Spots, Age Spots, and Scars – Frankincense is known as an incredibly healing oil which can be super helpful for reducing the appearance of lots of skin issues from sun spots or age spots to scars!
• Dry Skin – Frankincense is great for helping to moisturize the skin! It can do wonders for dry hands and feet when a few drops are added to your daily lotion!

When using frankincense oil topically, it’s important to make sure that it’s blended with a high quality carrier oil. Our Frankincense Roll-On contains 100% pure Frankincense Essential Oil which is blended with our high quality Squalane Oil as the carrier oil. This easy-to-apply oil is perfect for keeping in your purse, pocket, or car!

Frankincense for Aromatherapy

The warm, earthy, and slightly spicy tones of frankincense are familiar, soothing, and super relaxing when used as part of aromatherapy. This oil can help to ease the mind and relieve stress which helping to elevate mood. It’s great for using on those busy days when life feels overwhelming and you need something to help ease your mind!    

Our Frankincense Essential Oil is USDA Organic Certified and is perfect for using in your diffuser for some aromatherapy or adding to lotions or other personal care products! The warm and uplifting aroma will make you wonder why you never tried this amazing oil before!

Follow along with these quick and easy steps to get the smoothest legs of your life!

7 Easy Steps To Your Best Shave Ever

Step 1: Step into the shower – but don’t turn the water on just yet!

Step 2: Use Rinse Body Buff on dry skin to gently, yet effectively scrub away dirt and dead skin cells. Body Buff is the Rinse version of a sugar scrub, but with an awesome twist of course! Not only does it come in a variety of heavenly scents, but it was created to have a slushie-like consistency. No one likes dipping their hand through a slimy vat of oil when using a body scrub and, luckily, you won’t have to with Body Buff!

We also made it with the absolute best, most moisturizing natural ingredients around! We’re all about nourishing the skin with truly good-for-you ingredients so this is packed full of natural moisturizers like shea butter, fractionated coconut oil, and sesame oil. The butters and oils contained in Body Buff actually transform into a lotion on the skin, making it perfect for not only getting in a good scrub, but also for use as a shaving lotion!

Step 3: Turn on the water and gently rinse off the body buff scrub. Don’t use soap for this step as the goal here is to get rid of the sugary exfoliating part but leave the lotion which will be needed for step 4!

Step 4: With lotion still on your legs from the Body Buff, go ahead and enjoy your razor effortlessly gliding over your legs as you shave them!

Step 5: Rinse off and reveal those gorgeous, stubble-free legs!

Step 6: The real work is done, but now is the time to optimize your results for the smoothest, longest-lasting shave yet! While still in the shower, apply some Body Conditioning Balm to your freshly shaved legs to give them an infusion of moisture! This incredible Conditioning Balm is full of skin-loving ingredients like Coconut Oil that absorb deep into the skin allowing for next-level nourishment!

Body Conditioning Balm is an extremely versatile product so feel free to use it while you’re in the shower and then rinse off, or use it on wet skin but don’t rinse off! It even works as a shave balm if you want some extra lotion to make your razor glide!

Step 7: You’re almost done, but you are not going to want to miss this step! To make your legs truly shine, finish off by giving them a spritz of Rinse Body Bliss Oil! You can either do this while still in the shower or once you are out of the shower and dried off! Body Bliss Oils are made with an epic blend of oils including squalane oil, grapeseed oil, and apricot kernel oil that absorb into the skin without leaving any greasy feeling! Using these oils is a way to treat yourself to luxurious legs! And did we mention these oils come in a ton of amazing scents?!

You’re proud of your progress, but still painfully aware that there’s still one major area of life that you have neglected to “clean up”.

We all know that keeping a clean home is important for keeping dirt, germs, and grime at bay, but did you know that studies have shown links between clean spaces and lower stress levels? It sounds like the old saying “a clean home is a happy home” may be true after all! If you’re looking for some natural ways to freshen up your home to keep it feeling fresh and clean, we’ve got some tips for you!

Improve Indoor Air Quality

It’s hard to make a home smell fresh when dirty air is circulating around! That’s why our first tip is to make sure you’re breathing in clean air in your home. There are a few simple steps that you can take to improve the quality of the air in your home.

• Check and/or Replace Air Filter – This is your reminder to check your air filters and replace them if needed! It’s easy to forget this step and you might be surprised at just how dirty air filters can get over time! We recommend setting a reminder in your phone for your preferred frequency so that you get an alert when it’s time to change them. If you really want to step up the quality of the air circulating in your home and add a pop of freshness, try adding a few drops of your favorite essential oil to the air filter!

• Open Windows – What could be better than a totally free and super easy way to freshen your air!? All it takes is opening a few windows to let fresh air circulate inside your home! We love opening our windows and enjoying fresh breezes, but we don’t recommend doing this during pollen season!

• Add Houseplants – Get a natural air purification system by adding some houseplants to your home. Having a few plants inside can add charm to any space and simultaneously may help improve your air quality.

Try Room Sprays/Linen Sprays

There’s a lot you can do to freshen up your home with a few simple room/linen sprays! Choosing a natural room spray allows you to safely freshen up any room in your home. We love room sprays because they allow you to customize exactly what type of environment you want to create and you can switch it up any time! Want to create a clean and clarifying space? Try our Lemongrass Refreshing Spray! Want to create a calm and relaxing space? Lavender Refreshing Spray is the answer! 

Our versatile room sprays also make fantastic linen sprays! Try adding a few spritzes to your towels before putting them away. They’re perfect for freshening up sheets and blankets, as well as pillow cases! If you want to relax before bed, try spraying a bit of lavender on your pillow to help you unwind and drift off to sleep!

Get Creative With Essential Oils

The number of ways you can use essential oils to freshen your home is limitless! Here are a few of our favorite tricks for using essential oils to create a fresh home! All of these are super simple and don’t require much more than a cotton ball or clothes pin!

• Place a few drops of your favorite essential oil onto a cotton ball and place it at the bottom of the trash can in your bathrooms. This is a great option for freshening up a space and will leave everyone wondering how you did it!
• Add to the fresh bathroom vibe by placing a few drops of essential oil on the inside of the cardboard tube on toilet paper. 
• Create your own natural cleaner by mixing equal parts water and vinegar, and then adding a splash of your favorite essential oil.
• Add a few drops of essential oil to the inside cardboard of tissue boxes in your home. The cardboard will soak up the scent and you’ll get a nice bit of fragrance with every tissue pulled!
• Another clever trick is to place a few drops of essential oil on a wooden clothes pin and then clip it to the back of an air vent. No one will know it’s there, but as air blows through your vent you will get to enjoy the fresh aroma!
• Try adding a drop or two of essential oil to your dryer balls when washing sheets for an extra pop of freshness!
• Our last tip isn’t super clever, but it is effective! If you really want to punch up the freshness in your home, try diffusing essential oils in a traditional diffuser.

Use Fresh Soaps in Bathrooms & Kitchen

Don’t underestimate the power of fresh soap! It’s a small but powerful way to help add to the freshness of your home, whether it be in the kitchen or the bathroom. Your guests will love the nice treat of washing up with fresh, natural soap! These are super easy to change out between seasons as well!

Cook Up Some Stovetop Potpourri

If you’re in the mood for a little DIY freshness, consider cooking up some stovetop potpourri! This is another option that is super flexible and allows you to easily create scents for each season. There are all kinds of recipes for stovetop potpourri’s that utilize fresh, natural ingredients that you probably already have around the house! You can use fresh fruits like lemons or oranges, cinnamon sticks, vanilla extract, and more. All you have to do is put some water in a pot, add your ingredients, and bring to a boil. Let the water boil for a few minutes and then reduce it to a simmer that you can keep going for as long as you want to release the aromas. Make sure to watch your water levels and refill as needed. As an added tip, you can save your ingredients in the refrigerator to reuse the next day!  

Natural skincare is a way of life for so many of us. We love to treat our face and skin to the amazing benefits of natural products, but at times it can be easy to forget that our feet deserve the same attention as our face. After all, they carry us around everywhere we go, every single day! It’s a tough job, and we think our feet deserve to be rewarded for all that they do!

 That’s why we have rounded up our favorite products to help you treat your feet! While heading out for a luxurious pedicure may be the ultimate way to treat your feet, we’ve got some amazing products that will help you to keep those toes in tip top shape between pedicures!

1. Peppofoot Stick

Is there really any other place to start than with Peppofoot? It’s a cult favorite and best seller for a reason! If you have ever suffered from rough, dry, cracked feet then you already know the discomfort (and embarrassment) that can cause. No one wants feet that feel like sandpaper! It’s uncomfortable, it’s not cute, but it is a common problem! We’ve been there and, just like many of you, we tried every product on the market in an attempt to find relief! So many foot lotions, creams, and balms make big promises, but fail to deliver. This is exactly why we created Peppofoot!

We can confidently say it is the BEST foot moisturizer around and it always delivers! Seriously, check out the reviews to see for yourself!

So what exactly is it? Peppofoot is a moisturizing foot balm made with high quality, all natural ingredients that work to penetrate the layers of skin and deeply moisturize the feet. The carefully chosen ingredients work together to help relieve the discomfort and embarrassment of dry, cracked feet. Peppofoot is packed with some incredibly moisturizing ingredients including Shea Butter, Apricot Kernel Oil, and Avocado Oil. It also contains natural Tea Tree Oil & Peppermint Oil as well as a small dash of Menthol. These ingredients combine to make it smell amazing and to give a soothing, cooling sensation that feels oh-so-good!

Best of all, it’s a foot balm stick. That means the application is quick, easy, and mess-free! Simply turn the twist up tube, glide along the feet, and then you are done! No more greasy hands!

2. Euca-Mint Loofah Soap

We’re going to go ahead and state the obvious here, but there’s no way to get healthy, pampered feet without making sure your feet are thoroughly cleansed! We all know we need clean feet, but finding the best products for the job can be a bit of a challenge!

Because the skin on our feet can be extremely rough, it’s a good idea to wash them with something that provides a little exfoliating power to help slough off thick, rough skin. As the name suggests, our Euca-Mint Loofah soap contains an entire loofah that allows you to take washing your feet to the next level. The loofah works to exfoliate the feet, while the Euca-Mint soap gently yet effectively cleanses the skin. Made with a blend of Eucalyptus and Peppermint Essential oils, it has an invigorating scent that will have you actually looking forward to washing your feet every day!

3. Peppofoot Polish

Once you’ve got those clean feet, it’s time to let them sparkle and shine with the help of Peppofoot Polish! This luxurious exfoliating foot scrub contains extremely fine granules of powdered pumice that gently work to exfoliate the skin on your feet. Unlike other foot scrubs that can be harsh and leave your skin scratched up, Peppofoot Polish offers a gentle and relaxing exfoliating experience that will leave you with soft, smooth skin (no scratches involved!).

In addition to exfoliating the feet, Peppofoot Polish simultaneously works to moisturize at the same time thanks to the addition of Shea Butter, Avocado Oil, and Apricot Kernel Oil. These natural ingredients work to help the feet lock in moisture as they are being exfoliated.

As with all Rinse products, you already know it smells amazing thanks to the addition of 100% natural Peppermint oil! It’s the perfect scrub to use between pedicures to help keep your feet soft and fresh!

4. Peppofoot Refreshing Spray

Pure luxury in a bottle! Peppofoot Refreshing Spray is our perfectly portable pick-me-up for your feet! Sometimes you just need a little something extra to soothe the feet and this cooling foot spray is just the ticket! This refreshing spray is made from a blend of 100% natural Tea Tree and Peppermint Essential Oils along with moisturizing oils such as Organic Coconut Oil, Organic Olive Oil, and Organic Jojoba Oil. It provides a refreshing and cooling sensation without leaving the feet feeling sticky or tacky. As a bonus, it works phenomenally as a linen spray, room spray, yoga mat spray, car spray, and more!

5. Pedi-To-Go

Everything you need in one kit to give yourself the luxury experience of a pedicure right at home! If you’re ready to go all-in on treating your feet, this is the kit for you! It comes complete with a Mini Peppofoot Stick, Peppofoot Refreshing Spray, and Peppofoot Polish so that you have everything you need to pamper your feet. It’s a fantastic starter kit to purchase for yourself if you’re ready to treat your feet! It also makes for an amazing, unique, and thoughtful gift for friends, family, teachers, nurses, or anyone who spends time on their feet!

When it comes to daily hygiene habits, many of us are completely on auto pilot. We have developed our routines over time and we go through the same motions every day without giving much conscious thought to what we are doing. We wake up in the morning and immediately jump into our routines. We hop out of bed and brush our teeth, shower, make coffee and get on about our day. Because we’re so used to doing the same thing every day, we can easily get in the habit of using the same products for our daily routines for years without even realizing it! That can be a great thing if we're already using high-quality products, but can be a bit concerning if we have blindly been using low-quality products that may do more harm than good!

This brings us to the question: When is the last time you gave much thought to the soap you’re using? Maybe you’re someone who has used the same soap for years, or maybe you’re someone who loves to peruse the aisles at the grocery store looking for fun new products to try. Either way, taking a moment to learn more about the wide world of soaps could prove to be extremely beneficial and a game changer for your skin!

Looking across the landscape of commercial soaps, there are a plethora of options lining grocery store shelves at any given moment. There are tons of brands with all sorts of pretty packaging and eye-catching names, but if you take a closer look you’ll realize that most of these “soaps” aren’t actually soap at all.

Commercial Soap vs. Natural Soap

As it turns out, many of the commercial soaps available today are actually detergents rather than soaps. These detergent-style “soap” products are mass produced and, as such, cost-effectiveness is the name of the game. The manufacturers do their best to drive down costs and make these "soaps" as inexpensive to produce as possible. In addition, many of the commercial soaps are stripped of their naturally occurring glycerin in the name of increased shelf stability. In place of the natural glycerin, they are stuffed with synthetic foaming agents meant to mimic the natural suds that would be produced by glycerin. Additionally, they are packed with artificially created perfumes and fragrances, as well as more synthetic chemicals and surfactants. While these man-made ingredients do work well at removing dirt, they come at a cost. Detergents are generally harsh and can strip the skin of its good natural oils leaving it dry and irritated. There are also questions surrounding the consequences of regulalry using these synthetic ingredients on the skin. We know that our skin is our largest organ and anything we put on it will get absorbed into the body. I don’t know about you, but we don’t love the idea of putting questionable ingredients on our skin.

In contrast to these detergents and artificial products, natural soap is made with high quality, natural ingredients that you can easily recognize. The ingredients come from sources derived from nature such as plant sources, minerals, and sometimes animal byproducts (honey or milk). The ingredients undergo a process called saponification which converts them into soap. These natural ingredients are not only safe and familiar, but they are also extremely effective. Natural soaps are able to clean your skin incredibly well without stripping it of it’s natural oils or causing irritation.

Why We LOVE Natural Soap

Here at Rinse, we are dedicated to making all natural soaps the old fashioned way, the same way grandma used to (with a few modern improvements like digital scales and refined ingredients!). There are so many incredible benefits of natural soap and we've listed a few of our favorites below!

High Quality Ingredients

Natural soaps are made from high quality ingredients that you can recognize and can feel good about. Ingredients like shea butter, cocoa butter, olive oil, coconut oil, essential oils, and natural color blend together incredibly well to make amazing natural soaps that safely and effectively cleanse skin. These ingredients are naturally moisturizing and leave your skin feeling hydrated!

Free of Chemicals and Harmful Toxins

Just as important as what goes into natural soap is what is left OUT of it. One of the best things about natural soap is that it is free of harsh chemicals and harmful toxins. Natural soaps don’t contain any synthetic preservatives, detergents, or artificial perfumes. It’s important that you can feel good about what you’re putting on your skin and natural soap allows you to do just that! You’ll never have to worry about any negative impacts on you or the environment from harmful toxins.

Gentle Yet Effective Cleansers

Cleaning your skin shouldn’t mean using harsh ingredients that cause irritation and strip it of its naturally occurring oils. Natural soaps have been found to be just as effective as commercial soaps when it comes to washing away dirt and germs. In fact, Janet Woodcock with the FDA has said “Consumers may think antibacterial washes are more effective at preventing the spread of germs, but we have no scientific evidence that they are any better than plain soap and water… In fact, some data suggests that antibacterial ingredients may do more harm than good over the long-term.”

Incredibly Moisturizing

As we mentioned earlier, natural soaps contain many naturally moisturizing ingredients from various plant oils and butters. Some of our favorite ingredients are shea butter, cocoa butter, and coconut oil. These easily recognizable ingredients are unbelievably nourishing to the skin. They infuse the skin with moisture and help your skin retain its good natural oils which helps to further moisturize skin and keep it healthy and glowing!

Full of Glycerin Goodness

The best byproduct of making natural soap has got to be glycerin! It's the key ingredient that gives natural soap its sudsy, bubbly goodness! It helps to wash away dirt and grime without being overly harsh. It also is an amazing humectant that ensures your skin keeps its good oils. It’s non-greasy which means its great for all skin types, including oily skin!

Environmentally Friendly

While the commercial packaging in stores may be shiny and eye catching, it’s also incredibly wasteful. Natural soap allows you to get all the goodness of an effective cleanser without any of the waste that comes from commercially packaged soap products.

Incredible Scents

Instead of using synthetic perfumes and fragrances, natural soaps are made with natural essential oils that not only provide benefits to the skin but they also smell absolutely incredible!

Limitless Varieties

One of the best things about natural soaps is that there are nearly unlimited options! Some natural soaps serve specific purposes, and some are more general purpose. They can also come in different forms, such as soap sticks which allow you to take your favorite soaps with you anywhere!

Most Popular Natural Soaps

We are really big fans of natural soap and have a wide variety of soaps available to choose from! It's hard to say which one is the best natural soap because they all have unique properties, but some of our best sellers are:

Dead Sea Mud Soap

This is our best selling soap and it’s easy to see why! It contains actual Dead Sea mud imported from Israel. This magical mud is known for its many skin-loving properties. It is incredibly purifying and is great at opening pores and pulling out impurities. It works great as a facial soap as well as a body soap. Many people with skin troubles including eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, and acne have found it to be helpful for dealing with these conditions.

Casteel Soap

This all natural soap is the perfect option for anyone who has extremely sensitive skin. Casteel soap is our most gentle soap as it is made of only one ingredient – saponified olive oil. It’s gentle enough for the most sensitive skin types and even is great for little ones. It’s also a fantastic choice for anyone who has a hard time with scented products. It’s loved by dermatologists and those with skin concerns across the spectrum from eczema to psoriasis!

This soap is the perfect luxurious exfoliator! It combines an invigorating blend of eucalyptus and peppermint essential oils and the soap is poured over a loofah for incredible exfoliating power. It’s excellent for the body and feet!

Tea Tree Soap Stick

As if natural soap wasn’t amazing enough, this soap levels up as it comes in the form of a soap stick! This soap is made with all natural tea tree oil and has an earthy, medicinal smell and is perfect for use as a facial or body soap. It’s great for those who deal with acne and blemish prone skin!

 Delightfully Decadent Natural Soaps

While specialty soaps are amazing for tackling tricky skin issues, we’ve also got tons of options that are just plain FUN! They’re a great way to treat yourself, and they make amazing gifts for those you love! We’ve got so many amazing scents that it’s hard to choose just a few to highlight, but we’ll do our best! Some of our favorite fun scents include:

Coco Kissed

This is one of our newest scents and we are OBSESSED! It has a warm beachy vibe with soft vanilla undertones. It's sweet scent is addicting and it's sure to be a new favorite!

Blue Citrus

Another new scent, this citrusy blend contains hints of orange, lemon, and grapefruit! The cheery scent is bright and fresh, and it may even remind you of your favorite volcano candle!

Lavender

When you need a little rest and relaxation, lavender soap is the way to go! Our soap is made with French Lavender Essential Oil and has lavender buds sprinkled on top for a little extra flair! Great for night time baths for you or your little ones!

If you’re looking for an elegant, lightly floral scent then look no further than our Calla Lily Soap! It features the clean scents of the beautifully elegant Calla Lily. It’s pure luxury for the skin and the senses!

Do you like to DIY? We love a good DIY project but usually it isn't the most relaxing of things. But you're in luck because our Powdered Facial Masks are both of those- DIY and relaxing!! Like we said in our 4 Simple Tips for Naturally Glowing Skin Blog, using a natural face mask is an excellent way to treat your skin and see some incredible benefits as a result! But we all have different skin types, which means we have different concerns and needs when it comes to a face mask. Luckily, our DIY masks give you the ability to customize them specifically for your skin type! But do you have dry skin in the winter, oily skin in the summer, & combo skin in between? I'm sure you don't want to buy masks for all of those different times. That's where our customizable Powdered Facial Masks come in handy. You can customize them not only to your skin type, but you can customize them for any season, any area, or any preference! Like the image below (our little cheat sheet for you), you can put one mixture on your oily areas, one on your dry areas, and the other everywhere else!

So now you know why they're amazing? But now here's how to use them:

Mix a little less than a capful of mask with water or your choice of liquid until it makes a paste. In a circular motion apply to the face avoiding the eyes. Allow to sit on the skin for up to 10 minutes (or longer if you have the time). Rinse away & apply moisturizer. Repeat each week or as needed.

Like our picture above shows, here's what we suggest you mix into your mask but it's always up to you!
Dry Skin: anything rich and creamy, such as cream, honey or extra virgin olive oil.

Normal/Combination Skin: water or milk.

Oily Skin: tomato juice, witch hazel or any slightly acidic fruit. 

Some other tips and tricks that we love about our masks?

Tip 1: if you take the mask (any mask but we love Cafe Mocha for this trick), and mix only a tad bit of water in it, it's an amazing exfoliator that isn't too rough!

Tip 2: Caffeine is said to help reduce cellulite and our Cafe Mocha Mask has caffeine in it. So take a handful with you in the shower and rub that Cafe Mocha Mask all over those areas with a bit of cellulite! Warning, this is messy! We're not saying it'll make your cellulite disappear but it's worth a shot ;)

Tip 3: Use the Yogurt Facial Mask after using a different Mask for a luxurious facial. 

Tip 4: Follow your powdered mask with Squalane Oil to moisturize and keep that glow!
