How to Make DIY Body Oils for Spring | Natural Skincare with Essential Oils

After a cold, long winter, our skin can feel dry, dull and in need of renewal. There’s no better time than Spring to refresh your bodycare routine with lightweight body oils that help hydrate, smooth and restore your skin’s natural glow. 

At ECO. Modern Essentials, we love using our three versatile carrier oils, Jojoba, Sweet Almond, and Fractionated Coconut Oil, as the base for nourishing DIY blends. Incorporating natural essential oils with these not only locks in moisture and strengthens your skin’s barrier, but also offers aromatherapy benefits to uplift your mood, ease stress, and help you embrace the vibrant energy of a new season. Simply combine a few drops of essential oil with your favourite carrier oil in a bottle or rollerball, and apply to the skin, massaging it in after a shower or whenever your skin needs a refresh.
