As we are easing out of the cold, dry winter, I am continually trying to add more moisture into my skin and hair. To add extra shine and moisture to dry strands, I apply one to two drops of dōTERRA Sandalwood to my wet hair. It is restoring and moisturizing to your strands and will leave you feeling like you just left the salon.
One of the top benefits of this oil is the ability to promote a smooth complexion and healthy looking skin. Add dōTERRA Sandalwood to your skincare routine to enjoy newly rejuvenated skin. Take advantage of the grounding benefits by diffusing Sandalwood at bedtime to promote a relaxing environment for a good night’s sleep.
