15 DIY Easy Essential Oil Spray Recipes That YOU Can Make!
Who doesn’t love a good body spray?
Even better when it is natural, homemade AND has the added benefits of Essential Oils!
Combined with the best quality Essential Oils, your homemade body spray will not only have you smelling amazing, it will also give you many more benefits as your body absorbs the amazing-ness of the Essential Oils added.
One of the best ways to use essential oils is by diffusing them into the air. Aromatic benefits help to uplift your mood, ease your mind, and provide a variety of solutions to everyday issues. Another way to take advantage of the aromatic benefits of oils is by wearing them as a natural fragrance. Purge your home of any synthetic fragrances and use a homemade essential oil perfume including all-natural ingredients instead.
You can blend any oils together to get the scent that you want. In particular, if you have a diffuser blend that you love, start there. It will probably smell different on your skin, but you can easily tweak it from there.
What are the best ingredients to use when making Essential Oil body sprays?
- Distilled or filtered water–tap water can work also, but certain minerals may alter the desired outcome.
- Vodka or witch hazel–Vodka acts as a preservative and helps keep the oil from settling at the bottom of the bottle, but either will do.
- Your favourite Essential Oils. Be sure they are pure and of the highest quality. I choose doTERRA and stand by their quality.
- Vegetable Glycerin–this is optional, but will help the scents last longer
- Small spray bottle, preferably glass like these
Here is have my favourite recipes to use. They are easy to make and last AGES as the oils act as a preservative. They also make great gifts!
