Besides smelling good, essential oils are chock full of healing properties. So, when you make a body spray using therapeutic-grade essential oils, then besides smelling good you get the added bonus of those oils' healing and aroma-therapeutic qualities. It's a win-win!
Today I'm sharing the recipes for a couple body sprays I tried at a Make-n-Take party. They both smell scrumptious.
Here's the base recipe (found here)...
- 8 oz distilled water in a spray bottle
- 1 TBSP witch hazel
- 20-30 drops essential oils (see examples below!)
To make it, just combine ingredients, seal the bottle tightly and give it a good shake. Remember to shake it before each use.
Comforting Spray
- Base Recipe (8 oz distilled water + 1 TBSP witch hazel)
- 6 drops cinnamon bark
- 8 drops orange
This smells like everything wonderfully yummy in the Fall and Winter. It's a deeper scent for the cooler months. Cinnamon Bark is warming and Orange is uplifting.
Energizing Spray
- Base Recipe (8 oz distilled water + 1 TBSP witch hazel)
- 15 drops grapefruit
- 5 drops lavender
This smells cheerful and uplifting. It's a lighter scent for the warmer months. Grapefruit is an anti-depressant and stimulant, while Lavender is soothing and calming.
