Summer Self-Care Rituals for Unpredictable Weather

In true British fashion, this summer has been a mix of heatwaves, storms, and sudden downpours - keeping us all on our toes.  Whether you're basking in the sunshine, dashing through rain showers, or just trying to stay cool and balanced, now’s the perfect time to refresh your self-care rituals.  In this post, I’m sharing some summer-friendly aromatherapy tips and product favourites to help you feel your best, whatever the weather.

Stay Cool and Uplifted with Summer Aromatherapy

My Summer Essential Oil Blend is a seasonal favourite, featuring cypress, bergamot, and patchouli. It’s grounding yet refreshing - ideal for the emotional highs and lows that often accompany unpredictable summer days.  Use it in a diffuser on muggy afternoons or add a few drops to a cool compress to lift your mood and bring a sense of balance.

Top Tip: Add a few drops to one of my travel-friendly aroma stones to enjoy the scent throughout the day - perfect for your desk, bedside, or handbag.

Shower, Soothe, Repeat

Baths might take a backseat in summer, but showers become a moment of ritual. My Lime & Black Pepper Hand and Body Wash is an energising favourite - vibrant, zesty, and enriched with aloe vera to soothe the skin. It’s SLS-free and gentle, making it perfect for daily use without drying out your skin in the heat.

Refresh with Cooling Hydrosols

Hydrosols are a summer essential in my book.

• Peppermint Hydrosol is ideal for cooling tired legs and feet, especially after long walks or days out in the sun. It can also be used as a refreshing aftersun spray or to help soothe insect bites and stings.

• Neroli Hydrosol is beautifully gentle and floral - a natural toner that can be used all over the face and body. It helps balance oil production, soothes sensitive skin, and its aromatic properties are known to relieve stress and promote relaxation.

Pro Tip: Keep a bottle in the fridge for an extra cooling boost after being out in the sun.

Show Your Feet Some Love

Sandals and barefoot garden wanders call for soft, happy feet.  My best-selling Foot Care Set includes everything you need to exfoliate, moisturise, and revive tired soles. It’s a seasonal must-have and perfect for pampering tired feet after a day out in the heat.

Tone, Moisturise & Massage

Skin still needs nourishment during summer - especially with sun exposure and outdoor time. My Tone & Moisturising Massage Oil with orange and geranium is light, beautifully scented, and absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy finish.  It pairs wonderfully with our wooden massager, making it easy to create a relaxing ritual at home.

This combo also complements the Maderotherapy treatments I offer in the treatment room - perfect if you're looking to firm and tone while relaxing deeply.
