Synopsis:

The author of Skin
Cleanse returns with a comprehensive guide to the ultimate ingredient
for living an all-natural, plant-based lifestyle: essential oils.

In Just the
Essentials, Adina Grigore, owner and founder of the wildly popular all-natural skincare line SW
Basics, presents a 21st-century guide to these ancient oils. A former essential oils skeptic, Grigore offers a fresh, fun, and authoritative overview of what they are and how they
can be easily incorporated into anyone’s life. 
From plant-based medicine to
all-natural skincare to safer and cleaner household products to aromatherapy,
this handy and entertaining guide provides detailed advice for a wide array of
oils, safety guidelines, and a range of do-it-yourself recipes to get started.
Inside you'll discover such fun facts as:

• Tea tree oil is a powerful
  antibacterial that is proven to be as effective for treating acne as
  benzoyl peroxide; it also kills oral bacteria and is a life-saver for
  tooth infections.


• Cinnamon oil is a
  circulation-booster that helps to ease everyday aches and pains as well as
  headaches (even migraines).


• Peppermint oil is brimming with
  antimicrobial properties; peppermint oil can be used for everything from
  alleviating digestive problems to cleaning your kitchen counters.

With lists of the best
oils for beginners; instructions for diffusing and safe handling; and DIY
recipes from dish soap to toothpaste to facial masks, Just the
Essentials makes it easy and enjoyable to reap the many benefits of
these pure plant extracts.
