Sweeten Up Your Beauty Routine With These Ten Vanilla Treats
Cupcakes, frosting, pudding—oh my! The smell of baked goods filling a kitchen is enough to make your mouth water, so why not wake up every morning with this confectionary aroma? Adding vanilla-infused products into your rotation can do wonders for a gloomy winter morning—and for your skin!
"Vanilla is used not only for its comforting and warming scent but also for its ability to help the skin retain moisture," explains Aromatherapy Associates founder Geraldine Howard. "It's very gentle and low on allergens."
Start with vanilla shower essentials and end your day with a candle. The only downside of these deliciously scented goodies is that you're left without a batter-filled bowl.
