Step Into Spring With Geranium Essential Oil
Did you know that there are over 700 varieties of geranium? You’ve likely encountered the vibrant, delicate flowers of the geranium plant at your local garden center, or even in your backyard. Geranium has been used for purely ornamental purposes for centuries. The earliest Geranium Essential Oil usage dates back to Ancient Egypt when it was used for its skin beautifying and wellness benefits.
When it comes to distillation, Pelagonium graveolens is the main Geranium commercially cultivated for essential oil, and what you’ll find bottled today. Geranium Essential Oil has an aroma that is described as strong, sweet, fresh, green, slightly citrus-minty, and spicy. When diluted, this oil is floral and rose-like in scent, which makes sense, considering rose and geranium share many similar attributes.

Dry Skin Versus Dehydrated Skin-What's The Difference?
You may be thinking, “wait, aren’t those terms- dry and dehydrated- basically the same thing?” Although we use the words dry and dehydrated interchangeably, and heck, they may even feel similar, they are not the same thing. 
Let’s explore the difference between dry and dehydrated skin, characteristics of each, and how to effectively treat and manage both. 

So...What Is The Difference?

In the simplest terms- Dry is a skin type, Dehydration is a skin condition. Skin type is what you’re born with (dry, oily, combination) and is classified as more permanent. Skin conditions can happen to anyone, can range from sticking around temporarily to more long-term, and can be caused by things such as environmental factors.
