It’s 17th of February, and this day is noted as International Perfume Day. Well, we have a day for everything these days, and perfumes should not be left alone.
So, this International Perfume Day, let’s explore the world of perfumes, the DIY way.
Why Make Homemade Body Spray?
There are many reasons for making your own Homemade Body Spray, but we will list down only the most important ones here, apart from the obvious therapeutic benefits,
A. Smells amazing
B. Cooling
C. Cleansing
D. Skin rejuvenating
E. Supports mood
F. Much more!
This is a perfect way to not only smell good, but also know that you are using chemical free, non-toxic ingredients on your skin! Plus, you can customize the fragrance according to your likings!
Let’s get started!
Since there are tons of permutations and combinations that you can use to create your own unique fragrance, we will do this recipe a little differently. We will first list out the basic method of creating your own body spray, and then we will list out the different combination of essential oils that you can use (of course, you are free to experiment with your own unique fragrance too).
