Why this worksEssential oils are concentrated plant extracts that can enhance your mood and promote relaxation. When used in your beauty routine, they can also provide delightful scents that uplift your spirits. The right oils can complement your skincare or haircare products, adding a sensory experience to your daily rituals.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Choose Your Essential Oils Select essential oils that resonate with you. Popular choices for spring include lavender for calmness, lemon for energy, and rosemary for focus. Always ensure they are 100% pure.
  2. Dilute Before Use Mix your chosen essential oil with a carrier oil, like jojoba or sweet almond oil, before applying to your skin. A general guideline is to use 1-2 drops of essential oil per teaspoon of carrier oil to avoid irritation.
  3. Incorporate into Skincare Add a few drops of your diluted essential oil blend to your moisturiser or serum. This not only enhances the scent but also can elevate your skincare experience. Start with a small amount to see how your skin reacts.
  4. Use in a Bath or Shower For a relaxing experience, add 5-10 drops of essential oil to your bathwater or place a few drops on your shower floor. The steam will help release the aromatic properties, creating a spa-like atmosphere at home.
  5. Create a Room Spray Mix water and a few drops of your favourite essential oil in a spray bottle for a refreshing room spray. This can help create a pleasant environment while keeping your space smelling delightful.

Where people go wrong

Common mistakes include using undiluted essential oils directly on the skin, which can cause irritation. Also, overloading your products with too many different oils can lead to overwhelming scents. Finally, not patch-testing new oils can lead to adverse reactions.

The pro moveExperiment with blending different essential oils for a custom scent that suits your mood.
