Do you have a friend that shares about something they do for self-care and you’ve thought ‘I really should do that?…’ and then you don’t do anything about it?
Well it’s taken me a few years, but I’ve finally got on board with aromatic dressing.
Don’t know what aromatic dressing is?
It’s when you add essential oils to a toxin-free moisturizer or body oil and you apply this to your skin first thing in the morning. You can also use it at night too before you go to bed for relaxation. I do both so I can benefit from aromatherapy throughout the day and night.
I heard about aromatic dressing a few years ago from a friend who introduced me to essential oils.
The benefits of aromatic dressing are
• You can personalise your own scent every day
• It’s toxin free
• Can elevate your mood
• It has fantastic moisturizing benefits
This week I ordered my very first bottle of bettyquette ® (you may know it as Skin Boss) Body Oil in the Original Blend which is scent free and has been the perfect base for my aromatic dressing.
The oil is lightweight, made from natural products and absorbs into the skin straight away. I’ve only been using this oil combined with doTerra Lavender essential oil for the past week and my arms are smooth and there are no dry elbows in sight. Not to mention I’ve smelled delicious (if I say so myself!) Ha!
I have used the Day and Night oils from bettyquette® and have found them pleasant on my skin. I haven’t purchased these recently as my skin regime of choice is Trilogy and I keep getting oils with all my purchases. With my last purchase, I received a multiple oil pack set, which I’m working my way through.
But back to the aromatic dressing, you can add whatever essential oils you like to tailor your scent.
My favourites combined together are
Lavender and Patchouli
Geranium and Patchouli
Lavender and Roman Chamomile (at night)
I usually pump 2-3 spurts of bettyquette® and add 1-3 drops of my essential oils and this is enough to apply to my arms and décolletage. Some people mix their oils in a bowl, but I prefer to keep all the product on my hand to spread it further.
If you’re not into adding essential oils, you can also buy bettyquette® in the Coconut (temporarily out of stock) and Citrus blends.
If you want to give aromatic dressing a go with your essential oils, bettyquette® Body Oil in the original blend will work beautifully for you.
