YOU NEED:
Eucalyptus Essential Oil
You probably know Eucalyptus best as the scent you smell at a spa. It’s often used in steam rooms to add an invigorating, herbal aroma to an otherwise steamy (and sweaty!) room.
Eucalyptus is one of our most popular essential oils—for plenty of reasons. Its ultra-fresh scent is great to diffuse in the mornings or when you’re feeling under the weather; having a bottle of Eucalyptus lying around the house means you can enjoy a mini spa moment whenever you want.

How we use it
- Morning shower: add 3 drops of Eucalyptus to the palm of your hands while in the shower. Rub your hands together and allow the aroma to release, creating a small moment of luxury.
- Foot soak: combine 8 drops of Eucalyptus with 8 drops of Sweet Orange in a foot bath after a long day. Soak feet for 10 minutes.
-
Make up brush cleanser: add 10 drops of Eucalyptus to a 1/2 cup of water and a 1/2 cup of white vinegar and use it to clean your makeup brushes naturally. Simply rinse, wipe, and leave to dry overnight. We recommend doing this once every two weeks.
Blends well with
