7 AMAZING Things You Can Do With Essential Oils!
Hi guys, how are you doing? I hope you’re having a wonderful December. Today I thought I would switch it up, by talking about essential oils. If you guys know me, I’m actually a huge fan of them! I make my own body oils and use a diffuser to help me sleep and relieve stress. If you're someone who loves creating your own at-home beauty remedies, then you may already be familiar with essential oils and all of their different uses!
For those of you who don't know, essential oils are little bottles of concentrate are designed to add healing properties to you and your home using entirely natural ingredients. Not only do that, but they can also make your DIY beauty projects smell amazing too.
If you're not familiar with all the different ways to use essential oils, then this blog post might be perfect for you! Let’s get right into it.
Use Them To Enhance Your Bath
If you're not much of a creator then a great way to use your essential oils is to add them to your bath. This requires minimal effort as all you need to do is add a couple of drops to your bath and wait for the magic to happen. The heat will cause the scent to rise, filling your entire bathroom.
Create Your Own Bath Bombs
You can't beat a good bath bomb, especially when it's something you've created yourself. Using essential oils like lemon, orange and lavender can make your bath both look and feel incredible. With so many different healing properties associated with each essential oil, you can make a bath bomb for every occasion.
Make A Lavender Spray To Help You Sleep At Night
Making your own lavender spray couldn't be easier. All you need is a couple of drops of lavender oil, a spray bottle and a bit of water. This solution can be used to spray on your pillows at night, helping you fall asleep in a quick yet relaxed way. This also is much cheaper than using the This Works Deep Sleep Spray!
Make Your Own DIY Cleaner
If you love making your own beauty products, then cleaning products will be just as fun. Using an essential oil concentrate of your choice, simply mix with some oil eater and unscented all-purpose cleaner to make your own DIY cleaner. For easy use, use a spray bottle.
Use Them To Relieve a Cold And Flu
There are lots of different essential oils that are able to relieve a cold and flu, so if you're feeling under the weather be sure to stock up on orange, lemon and clove essential oils. I have to be biased and say that lemon is definitely my favorite!
Create Your Own Face Wash
Now, this is really similar to the cleaner. All you need to do is mix an unscented face wash with an essential oil of your choice to make something that smells and feels great. If you're feeling creative, you could even make some for your friends and family too!
Make Your Own Face Masks
Using essential oils, oats and hot water, making your own exfoliating face mask couldn't be easier. With the option to completely customize depending on which essential oil you use, this could provide you will hours of pampering fun. Again, this is a great project to turn into DIY gift making for your family.
