Have Fun Making Your Own Aromatherapy Body Lotion!

Many pre-made aromatherapy body lotions are wonderful, but if you would like to create your own unique mix of essential oils that will give you the smell and benefits that you're looking for, try making your own aromatherapy body lotion.

How can you make lotion using Essential Oils?

If you know a lot about essential oils and have ideas about your favorites, creating a unique aromatherapy body lotion can be a wonderful way to get the benefits that you want without a long search.

Finding the Right Scent

When you are using essential oils, you need to check if they are pure or diluted. If pure, you can use much less. Also purchase some unscented lotion as a base for you to work from. Baby lotions often work very well.

It isn't hard to create your aromatherapy body lotion. Mix some of your unscented lotion with a few drops of essential oil. Keep the proportion at 10 percent oil, 90 percent lotion to prevent itchiness.

Make Sure to Use a Test Patch

When using any product with essential oils, always use a test patch before applying the aromatherapy body lotion everywhere. Leave the patch for 24 hours to check for any allergic reaction that you may have to the oils.
