If you tend to be overwhelmed by the powerful scents of some perfumes, consider a body splash. A body splash is similar to a perfume, however the scent is much lighter and its formula actually can be beneficial to your skin.
To save money, you can even opt to make your own body splash. It’s quite easy to do and you can experiment until you find a mixture that works perfectly for you. Over the course of a year, making your own body splash can possibly save you hundreds of dollars.
Even if you are too intimidated to make your own perfume, you should definitely try making your own body splash. It’s easier to make body splash than perfume and the trial and error is cheaper.
The first thing you need to get is an empty spray bottle. You can purchase a new spray bottle or use an empty spray bottle you have laying around. If you are using a spray bottle that has been used previously, be sure to wash it out completely with warm water.
The next step is to decide what type of base you want to utilize. You need to use some sort of alcohol in the body splash. It’s recommended to either use witch hazel or pure vodka (No, you aren’t going to drink it!). Witch hazel is advised for those who have sensitive skin and who are prone to breakouts.
Once you pick the type of base you want to utilize, you need to figure out what type of scent you want to include in your body spray. Use essential oils and fragrance oils as the scent. You can find these oils in an amazing array of scents ranging from jasmine to pine to orange. A great place to order essential oils is oils4life.co.uk. You can pick one specific scent or you can mix and match a few scents to get the combination you prefer.
The final step is to mix the body splash by combining 1/4 cup of the alcohol, with a 1/2 cup of distilled water and three drops of scented oils you have selected. Once you mix the concoction, it will be ready to use! When you come out of the shower, spray yourself with the body spray and let it dry. Experiment with the mixture you use until you get it exactly right.
