As all-natural aromatherapy visionaries we at AYRES Beauty make it our mission to create unique aromatherapy experiences for individuals who are passionate about life and do not compromise quality. We believe aromatherapy is a healing art that uses essential oils, derived from plants, to positively effect a person's physical, mental and emotional state. Essential oils can be extracted from a plant's blossom, fruit, leaf, steam, root and bark.
There are many ways to extract essential oils from plant materials, we use the process of steam distillation. Steam distillation uses steam from boiling water that sits underneath a vat filled with plant material. As the steam raises and passes through the plant material it causes the cell walls of the plant to break, releasing the plant's essence that is then collected by the steam. The water and essence then go through a condenser that cools and separates leaving two products: essential oil and hydrosol.
Aromatherapy is the practice of taking aromatic essential oils and plant extracts and massaging, soaking and bathing in them to fully experience and benefit from their healing properties. Essential Oils should not be placed directly on the skin and are better suited with carrier oils from coconut and jojoba, and natural humectants like glycerin that are found in our Shower Cream, Body Butter and Body Lotion products.
Here is a breakdown of the blended essential oils and their healing properties found in our signature collections: Midnight Tango, Pampas Sunrise and Patagonia.
Midnight Tango is our signature warm collection, this sensual floral blend awakens your senses with a rush of essential oils orange blossom, rosemary, and vanilla. Nan Martin, an aromatherapy guru, documents orange blossom to heal anxiety, bacterial infections and depression. Recent studies on Rosemary depict it's healing properties enhance memory and relax joint pain. Vanilla essential oil is extracted from fermented vanilla beans, and lowers blood pressure and high fever.
Pampas Sunrise is our citrus collection with essential oils of lemongrass and patchouli. Both aroma's have soothing, sedating and calming effects on the mind and skin.
Patagonia's inspiration of rejuvenating sea water promotes a feeling of serenity and freshness brought to the skin by essential oils of jasmine, lavender and rosemary. Jasmine is an aphrodisiac that makes one feel romantic, Rosemary also keeps the mind alert, and Lavender improves the circulation of blood in the body that leads to healthy glowing skin.
In order to get the full benefits of an all natural aromatherapy experience we recommend taking the time during your cleansing and moisturizing rituals to massage Midnight Tango's sensual Body Lotion, Pampas Sunrise's citrusy Body Butter, or Patagonia's calming Body Polish into the skin. Not only will your skin benefit from the healing properties of aromatherapy, but your mental state will as well.
