Creating The Body Mist
Before you make the mist, you have to source your ingredients. When it comes to essential oils, try your best to choose high-quality options that are pure. Not only will these offer the most vibrant scents, but also the most aromatic health benefits. Although you can use regular water for the mist, we recommend that you use distilled water, as it helps maintain the spray’s purity. It also allows the natural oils to be more present and doesn’t interfere with any potential impurities. For the mist, you will need:
- Jasmine essential oil
- Orange blossom essential oil
- Witch hazel
- Distilled water
The Benefits Of Jasmine And Orange Blossom Essential Oils
Jasmine and orange blossom essential oils offer their own unique aromas and health benefits. Jasmine’s floral scent can help create a sense of tranquility, which is why aromatherapists use it to elevate mood and establish a calming space. Inhaling jasmine’s aroma may help alleviate feelings of stress and anxiety.Â
Orange blossom essential oil offers a zesty and cheerful fragrance, which complements jasmine’s scent in a harmonious way. Known to stimulate and refresh, orange blossom essential oil may help bring about feelings of positivity and joy. Together, jasmine and orange blossom create a balanced blend that can help promote emotional well-being. Use it throughout the day if necessary!
Before we provide the recipe, there is one thing to note about witch hazel. If you do not have it in your possession, you do not have to include it in the spray. Witch hazel helps the body mist last longer, though. It also acts as an astringent, exhibits anti-inflammatory properties, and can help maintain a healthy skin barrier.Â
Homemade Body Mist
Ingredients:
- 8 ounces distilled water
- 1 tablespoon witch hazel
- 10 drops jasmine essential oil
- 10 drops orange blossom essential oil
Instructions:
- Get an eight-ounce spray bottle (ideally glass) and pour about seven ounces of distilled water into the bottle. Add the witch hazel and stir to combine.
- You want to make sure that you leave enough room in the bottle because a small air gap can allow for proper mixing.
- Add the essential oils, screw on the top, and shake well to combine.
- Store the body mist in a cool, dark place because that will help maintain the fragrance and integrity of the spray.
