Aroma Essentials : Sorbets

Many of us tend to neglect moisturizer in the summers and quite rightfully as they tend to make the skin clammy and increase the discomfort. But summer also means staying for extended periods in air-conditioned environments that dry's and dehydrates the skin. The trick to finding the perfect heat-friendly moisturizer is to look for products that are gel based which will help the skin stay hydrated and nourished without making the skin feel greasy or slick.
