How to use fragrance in your personal care routine with essential oils and perfumes:

Methods:
• Choose soaps with citrus scents. These are fresh and refreshing at the same time, leaving you more awakened and smelling as sweet as a citrus orchard. You can use citrus scented soaps in the shower, bath or when washing your hands.Lemon, orange, mandarin, grapefruit and lime are all delightful scents.
• Rely on herbs for a clean and healthy fragrance. Herbs such as rosemary, thyme and basil are both fresh smelling and invigorating. They are also cleansing and some herbs even have medicinal purposes.Add herbs, fresh or dried (in a sachet), to a steaming hot bath, to release their herby flavor. Allow them to float and wait for them to release the scent into the water. Then hop in and have a good, long soak.
• Add perfume to steam for a wonderful waft of scent. Try a few drops of lemon or floral perfume or essential oil to the floor of your shower. Turn on the shower to warm up the scent, then take a shower in lukewarm water. The perfume will slowly release its fragrance and create delightfully scented steam.
• Use perfume for a fragrant rubdown. Choose your favorite perfume and put two to three drops of it onto your towel before bathing or showering. Leave the towel on the heated towel rack or radiator until it warms up a little. After bathing or showering, give yourself a vigorous rubdown with the warmed, scented towel. The warm towel will feel cozy and soothing and the fragrance will be left on your skin, subtle but lovely.
• Use a range of scented products to layer the scents. Start your bath with scented body oil. Then use scented soap of the same scent. After the bath, use body lotion of the same scent and finish up with either eau de toilette or cologne in the same scent. This allows you to layer the scents up, in the same family of fragrances.
• Steam your skin with fragrance. Use a vaporizer to which you have added your favorite essential oil. Lean your head over the vaporizer, placing a towel over your head, and allow the scent to soak into your skin.
• Use scented lip balm. A lovely lip balm will keep your lips in good condition and add fragrance and a delicious taste at the same time. Some choices include honey and cinnamon, peach, strawberry and vanilla.
• Keep your breath fresh with scented products. Not only will you have clean teeth and fresh breath, it'll also smell sweet. Use toothpaste and mouthwash that have minty flavors, such as peppermint or spearmint.

How to try a perfume

How to try a perfume: • Try a fragrance quiz. Sometimes, visiting the perfume counter can be overwhelming. To help you narrow down what you might like, try taking an online fragrance-finder quiz. That way, you'll have a place to start when you get to the store. You can find a fragrance quiz by doing a simple search, but many major perfume websites also have them. You can also test out samples that come in magazines or ask people you know what their scent is if you like it. • Skip applying fragrances before you go shopping. When you go to the store, you want a blank canvas, so to speak. Skip putting on any perfume that morning so it won't compete. Also, skip other items you use with strong scents, such as lotions and body washes. • Spray it on a card. The first step to testing a perfume is spraying it on a card. Smell it when you first spray it, but also try smelling it again in about 5 minutes, once it's had time to dry and settle. If you like it both times, you...

How to make your own fruit lip balm using essential oils: • Put together a double boiler. Fill a saucepan with 1 to 2 inches (2.54 to 5.08 centimeters) of water, then put a heat-safe bowl on top. Make sure that the bottom of the bowl is not touching the water. • Add the coconut oil and beeswax (if desired) into the bowl. The beeswax will help give the lip balm a firmer texture and make it less gooey. If you end up using the beeswax, try to get it in flake or pellet form. This will help it melt quicker and easier. If you can't get beeswax in either form, shave it using a cheese grater. • Heat the coconut oil and beeswax over medium-high heat until they melt. Stir them from time to time. This will ensure that they melt evenly. Both ingredients will turn clear once they melt. • Remove the bowl from the saucepan, and stir in the vitamin E oil. The vitamin E oil will help make your lips nice and soft. • Stir in your flavor oil until the texture is smooth and the color is eve...
