We’ve all heard about the benefits of essential oils and aromatherapy. Scents can calm us down, bring back memories, and boost our mood. With the sheer number of essential oils out there, it can be tough to choose which oils to incorporate into your daily life. Fear not! We’ve done the heavy lifting for you (feel free to thank us later). Keep this infographic full of essential oil tips around when shopping for a new scent to fit your skincare, healthcare, or personal needs!
How To Use Essential Oils
Once you’ve gotten your hands on the essential oil of your choice, there are several ways to start reaping its benefits.
A Diffuser
A diffuser is arguably the easiest and most effective way to use essential oils. This machine steadily fills a room with an aroma, allowing you to take advantage of everything the oil has to offer. When we want to boost our energy, we choose peppermint oil, and when we need to destress, we turn to lavender.
A Spray
Many essential oils come in a spray bottle. We love spritzing our pillows with lavender before bed and spraying our roots with sandalwood oil if we start seeing dandruff. Think of it as nature’s multi-purpose perfume.
Baths
Raise your hand if you treat yourself to a bath every now and then. We definitely do! Take your bath to the next level with a few drops of your favorite essential oils. We’ve especially been loving clove oil for its anti-inflammatory properties.
Just a Quick Sniff
Sometimes, a little goes along way. Simply smelling your scent of choice can improve your mood and help you start your day off right!

Amazing infographic!
Great post! I did have a question though that I am hoping you can answer. Can you use essential oils everyday? I mom was asking me and I’m trying to find out for her. Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated.
Hi Maisha! Thank you so much for your kind words. We love essential oils, and they can be great for skin – whether you’re using a diffuser or directly applying them. As all skin conditions and types are different, when introducing an alternative skincare method into a daily regiment – we highly suggest you speak with your doctor. While it may be beneficial for your mother, it’s best to be safe! If she finds out any information you’d care to share with us please do! We’d love to hear what the doctor says! Best wishes.
