In today’s economy everyone is stressed out from family, love, work or lack there of and we need an outlet.  I am suggesting personal pampering because I believe aromatherapy relieves stress and it could many major health advantages as well.  I know an aromatherapy experience could be expensive and therefore I believe creating your own home spa could be just as pleasurable and affordable for you and your family.  Think about it, a relaxing home spa experience for yourself on your own time, no one telling you your 45 minutes are up or time to go.

Pampering Your Skin The Right Way

The skin is said to be the largest organ in our body. Unfortunately, like most things that are right under our noses, it is also the one organ that is usually taken for granted.

Here are three ways by which you can pamper your skin:

  1. A facial mask is a good way to make your skin tighter and hydrated. If you are suffering from acne, facial masks can help clean out your pores and exfoliate your skin.
  2. Another way to remove dead skin cells is by having a body scrub. The most popular type of body scrub is the sugar scrub. it helps makes the skin soft and smooth restoring its youthful shine.
  3. If you want to make your skin supple while losing a few inches off your waist, having a body wrap is a good option. Usually lasting for a little over than an hour, body wraps work by allowing your skin to sweat out harmful toxins while opening the pores to let in vitamins and minerals contained in the body wrap.

If you are worried about having to break your piggy bank, you can actually opt to buy your own essential spa tool kit and just do your own spa treatment within the comforts of your own home.

Essential Oils – How to Properly Handle One : Part 2

They should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and should be kept in amber, or any dark-colored, bottles with tight lid. This prevents oxidation as well as contamination from taking place thus, preventing oil deterioration. These oils should not be stored in plastic bottles or be capped with rubber lids as pure essential oils can dissolve plastic. Just like any other type of oil, they are affected, or degraded, by extreme temperatures. Keep in mind also that essential oils are highly flammable so it is a good idea to store them away from other materials that could easily catch fire as well as from children.

Citrus oils should not be kept more than 6 months. They have a tendency to go rancid over time. Patchouli oils and sandalwood, on the other hand, get better as time passes by. Once your essential oils have become cloudy, the consistency has thickened or they started giving off a rancid smell, you have to dispose it.

The Oils of Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy, being a widely utilized method for health treatments, uses essential oils to achieve the best effects on the body. These essential oils are derived from natural plant extracts, are concentrated, and are very effective in producing that healing effect on the body.

If you are quite new to this, and you want to enjoy aromatherapy at home, so that you can also partake of its benefits, you can have an aromatherapy massage. Always remember that you have to dilute the essential oil by using carrier oil before you can apply it directly onto the skin for a massage. Some well-known carrier oils are sweet almond oil, grapeseed oil, and also apricot kernel oil. Once you have already diluted the essential oil, you can just sit back and enjoy that aromatic massage that would relax your senses.

If you love candles, purchasing aromatherapy candles is also one way for you to enjoy aromatherapy at home. However, the essential oils would have a better effect on your body if it is not dispersed through a scented candle or soaps.
