Homemade Essential Oils Body Spray

A summer scent is essential this time of year. Save the heavy fragrances for fall and try a body mist, which is a lighter way to wear a scent. This DIY body mist is made with three different essential oils—lavender, eucalyptus and jasmine—and aloe vera gel, which also helps soothe dry, chapped skin. Just mix and spritz for a refreshing scent all summer long.

BUT FIRST, A PATCH TEST

Before using any essential oils, first perform a patch test on your skin. . To do a patch test, mix 1 drop of essential oil in 1 tsp of plant-based carrier oil, such as olive oil or jojoba oil, and rub it on your inner elbow. Wait 30 – 60 minutes. If any undesired effects occur, immediately wash the area with warm water and a mild soap and do not use the essential oil on your body.

  • Small funnel
