Nourishing Your Skin and Senses: Simple Essential Oil Embrace Sprays

By Maria Ricci

Oh my dear friends, could it be there’s a beautiful new way to use essential oils that’s right there waiting for you? Come sit with me for a moment — we’re going to create something simple and loving that will help you breathe easier and feel so wonderfully nurtured, body and soul.

Imagine making your very own personal aromatic mists that gently nourish your skin while wrapping your senses in the most comforting scents. Instead of rushing through the day, let’s slow down and create a little aromatic haven just for you. Go ahead and gather your amber glass spray bottles — here we go together.

To make your own special collection of Skin Embrace Sprays, you’ll need just a few things:

1. Small amber glass spray bottles

2. Water or unscented witch hazel

3. Your favorite calming, grounding, or supportive essential oils

Simple Instructions:

Add several drops of your chosen oils into the bottle, then top it off with water or witch hazel. Give it a gentle shake before each use. Lightly mist your skin — especially your neck, wrists, arms, or chest area — and let the natural goodness soak in. Your skin will drink up all those beautiful benefits while your nose and spirit are sweetly embraced by the lovely aromas.

Have fun with this! Mix and label your own special blends. You can even create different ones for each day of the week to keep your senses happy and refreshed (and say goodbye to that tired, stale feeling!). Slip a little bottle into your purse so it’s always there when you need a quick moment of peace during a busy day.

Some wonderful starter oils I recommend are Lemon, Wild Orange, Eucalyptus, Lavender, and Frankincense. Whenever life feels overwhelming, your nerves are a little frazzled, or you just need a moment of peace — that’s the perfect time to reach for your own Skin Embrace spray.

Whether you’re a hardworking dental technician on your feet all day or anyone else carrying the weight of daily responsibilities, I know how tiring it can be. That’s why I’m so grateful we have these precious essential oils to help care for ourselves through it all.

I personally purchase my oils through Revive.com because they offer some of the most effective and best-priced essential oils I’ve found. If you’ve already been enjoying quality oils, I’m so proud of you! It’s time to share this little gift with others. Everyone can use the bright cheer of citrus, the deep grounding of Frankincense, or the soft, calming hug of Lavender.

For those of you who want to learn even more about making lotions, balms, and all kinds of beautiful body products with essential oils, I warmly recommend a few helpful books:

The Aromatherapy Beauty Guide by Danielle Sade, Making Aromatherapy Creams & Lotions by Donna Maria, or Organic Body Care Recipes by Stephanie Tourles. You can easily find them on Amazon or your favorite bookstore.

Next time you reach for your bottle, let your skin soak up all that goodness and allow your senses to be wrapped in this loving aromatic embrace.
