How to use scented fragrance oils to keep cool this summer

There are a few ways you can use your summer fragrance oils to keep cool when the temperature rises. Why not try:

Making your own cooling spray

To make your own cooling spray that you can spritz onto your body to keep cool, follow the steps below:

1. Fill a 60ml glass spray bottle about ¾ full of distilled water.
2. Use witch hazel to fill the rest of the bottle.
3. Add 10-20 drops of your preferred fragrance oil(s).
4. Replace the top of the bottle and shake well.

Before using a fragrance oil for the first-time, it’s a good idea to complete a patch test to ensure it does not cause any irritation on your skin.

Add to cool bath water

Another option could be to beat the heat by jumping into a bath filled with nice cool water – with a few extra drops of a fragrance oil you love for the finishing touch:

1. Fill the bath as normal with cool water.
2. Mix 2 drops of fragrance oil for every 1 tablespoon of carrier oil.
3. Add to the water.
4. Step into the bath and enjoy the wonderful aroma.

Alternatively you can use essential oils to help with sleep on a hot night

Keeping cool in bed on a balmy summer’s night is a struggle for many, but you can use essential oils like lavender oil to help you drift off:

1. Add a few drops to a tissue or handkerchief and place it near your pillow.
2. Use the oils in a diffuser user or oil burner for 30-60 minutes before you go to bed to create a relaxing atmosphere.
