Spritzers & Scrubs
Spritzers and Scrubs are so fun and there are a ton of different options so I'll just go over a few here. Obviously, aromatic spritzers (or sprays) can give you that therapeutic benefit of inhalation without a diffuser or if you're just in a hurry. Sometimes I'll spray around myself and take in a few breaths before I leave the house or I'll spray it in the car or I'll give it as a gift. If I'm traveling, I'll take an empty glass spray bottle with me and then I'll add my oil or synergy of oils into the bottle then add the water so I can smell it first and allow the EOs to combine more easily, as we discussed.
For Aromatic Spritzers, use glass or stainless steal sprays. Fill a 2-4 ounce bottle with water, then add 15-30 drops of your essential oil or synergy of EOs and shake, and be sure to shake every time before use b/c there is no dispersant in there. However, if you have vodka handy, that can make an excellent dispersant. Often times, I don't bother with the vodka and just know to shake every time, but that's up to you! Clearly milk won't keep and honey won't spray, so those aren't good dispersants as they are in a bath!
Now, onto scrubs! OMG there are so many options, but most are salt or sugar based. Both make great exfoliants and you can add carrier oil to the salts or the sugar, although I often leave out the carrier from the salts and let them just be dry with the EOs in there. Chopsticks BTW make great mixers if you're just making the salts or sugar scrubs right in the mason jar (wide mouth is my favorite for pouring), but others like tall jars or the ones that have the metal flip on a glass top that locks into place, old school style. Another option is plastic but PET plastic only as it will be less likely to break down but honestly, I'd use glass or stainless.
In a small glass or metal mixing bowl combine 2 cups of sea salt + 1/2 cup of unscented vegetable oil (almond, apricot, sunflower oil but YL's V-6, almond or fractionated coconut are are fine too!)
Add 7-25 drops of essential oil or synergy of essential oils; stir well (total drops based upon EOs used and the strength desired.)
Stir all ingredients until well combined. Enjoy in the bath or shower.
