Scented Body Oils

Sunday, August 12, 2007Perfume Articles

There is nothing more luxurious than a bath, unless it is a bath with scented body oils. Scented body oils rely on the principles of aromatherapy and natural ingredients, without adding alcohol. They are often made with base carrier oil, like almond or sunflower oil, infused with herbal essential oils and fragrances. They are used to treat different problems from dry skin to itchy scalps. They can come in invigorating scents as a pick-me-up or in calming scents when you need some stress-relief. They not only work on the body, but some people even use them for their hair too.

If you want a soothing bath, you can try to get some scented body oils for the bath that soothe the nerves. Chamomile, lavender, and jasmine scent are all known to soothe jangled nerves. The fragrance of jasmine is also said to have aphrodisiac qualities. Whether you want to relax after a stressful day or set the mood for a sensual night, scented bath oils can do the trick naturally and subtly.

Other scented bath oils may have more invigorating scents. You might have some with rosemary, which also makes a great hair tonic. Rosemary is said to stimulate circulation and improve mental awareness. Citrus and mints can also stimulate the energies and make you feel refreshed. If you are not sure what scented oil is right for which use, read the herbs that are being used and research them.

Other ways to use scented body oils is to use them in place of hand lotions. They are usually light and the skin soaks them up quickly. They can relieve dryness all over the body, even the face. If you have a partner, you can also use them as massage oils to help relieve stress or spark that special mood.
