Bath
​What better way to relax after a long day at work than to indulge in a hot bath. Premix 20ml of sweet almond oil with 10 drops of your choice of essential oils and pour half of the amount into the bathtub (the balance can be used to moisturise skin after towelling dry).
Let the benefits of the essential oils absorb into your skin while the fragrance works to uplift your spirit.
