Why this worksAromatherapy uses essential oils to enhance your mood and wellbeing. In spring, the right scents can invigorate your senses and promote relaxation. Incorporating these oils into your body care routine not only nourishes your skin but also uplifts your spirit.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Choose Your Essential Oils Select uplifting scents like lemon, lavender, or eucalyptus. These oils can help you feel more energised and relaxed, making them perfect for springtime.
  2. Create an Aromatherapy Body Oil Mix a carrier oil, such as jojoba or sweet almond oil, with your chosen essential oils. A good starting ratio is 5-10 drops of essential oil per 30ml of carrier oil. Always patch-test on a small area to check for sensitivities.
  3. Incorporate into Your Shower Before stepping into the shower, apply your aromatherapy body oil to your skin. The steam from the shower will help release the essential oils’ fragrance, creating a calming environment.
  4. Moisturise After Showering After your shower, apply a natural body lotion or cream to lock in moisture. Look for products that complement your essential oil choice for a cohesive scent experience.

Where people go wrong

A common mistake is using too much essential oil, which can lead to irritation. Not patch-testing your mixture can also cause unexpected reactions. Lastly, skipping the moisturiser after showering can reduce the benefits of your aromatherapy routine.
