It’s a difficult task to keep skin looking and feeling great. Thankfully, essential oils are here to help you heal and then maintain healthy, beautiful skin. These all natural remedies are not only just as effective (if not, more) but safer than standard, man-made skin care products. Also, they can be much cheaper, saving you money and time. With consistent use, your skin will be visibly healthier, leading to smoother, more beautiful skin.
4 Essential Oils for Skin Care
Lavender: Lavender oil is likely the most well-known essential oil for skin care. Lavender is perfect for healing damaged skin, such as burns, cuts, and scrapes, promoting your body’s natural healing process. Lavender works down at the cellular level, making it extremely effective. And since it works cellularly, it also increases your antioxidant production to fight free radicals, which are the main cause of various diseases. So, use our Lavender-Infused Eucalyptus Oil ShowerMist oil to heal and maintain your skin.
Frankincense: Frankincense oil is a mini-miracle worker. Frankincense improves the appearance of your skin all around. This includes reducing wrinkles, blemishes, and acne, healing damage caused by the sun, and restoring pigmentation to areas of discoloration. It also can restore a more youthful look by increasing collagen production to add more volume to cheeks and removing scars, stretch marks, and much more. If you want to remove blemishes of almost any sort, then pick up some frankincense.
Tea Tree: Tea tree oil has been known to relieve several skin conditions including psoriasis and eczema. Tea tree oil is a great cleanser, ridding the pores of any toxins and buildup, making it perfect for treating acne and similar skin conditions. Additionally, tea tree oil can heal cuts and scrapes similar to lavender oil. If you struggle with toxins and keeping your skin clear, then tea tree oil is for you.
Pomegranate Seed: Pomegrante seed oil is great for healing and preventing damage to your skin, especially from the sun. It contains bioflavonoids which are a natural SPF, making it a natural sunblock. It also contains elements that heal sunburns and quicken the healing process. Pomegranate oil is also used for anti-aging purposes, thus, making a serum out of it will tighten skin and promote a youthful vibrancy.
Nature’s solutions to common skin problems are by far the most effective and can cover a wide range of issues. Start using essential oils today on a consistent basis and you will find a younger looking you in the mirror.

With the growing number of diagnoses and the pervasiveness of the disease in our culture, cancer often touches the lives of almost everyone directly or indirectly at some point in time. As cancer research has grown, a light has shown on the power of essential oils to deter or even defeat cancer. Whether from studies or the testimonies of several people on the healing they’ve experienced, it’s undoubted that essential oils could work for anyone with cancer.
Each essential oil brings different health benefits and cancer-fighting properties to the table. Take a look below at what each oil can do.
Essential Oils That Fight Cancer
Lavender Oil: Lavender is one of the most popular essential oils for its myriad benefits, but recent studies have also shown it to be advantageous to cancer patients.
Lavender can directly affect certain cancer cells, ranging from preventing their spread or killing them outright. It also improves immune system efficacy, which is severely depleted when a patient is undergoing chemotherapy. Lavender is also a pain reliever, allowing patients to take fewer medications that often cause adverse side effects.
Citrus Oil: Citrus, especially when it includes orange or lemon oil, has been known to halt the growth of cancer cells, especially in that of cervical cancers. Orange oil possesses d-limonene, a phytochemical largely known for its anticancer effects. Citrus oil also provides relief from pain and anxiety and several of the side effects commonly associated with chemotherapy.
Peppermint Oil: Peppermint oil has lots of research and studies behind it supporting its potency against cancer. Like citrus oils, it also has limonene in it, making it effective against many cancers. Most notably, peppermint has been known to kill leukemia cancer cells. Menthol has also been widely studied and found to kill prostate cancer cells.
Eucalyptus Oil: Eucalyptus oil is full of phytochemicals that are known to help treat cancer, particularly alpha-pinene and beta-pinene. These two phytochemicals have been under wide study and have proven to provide anticancer effects. Eucalyptus also has been proven to be very toxic to lymphoma cancer cells.
Prevention is the Best Cancer Treatment
Since there are several behaviors that can increase cancer risk, prevention is the best medicine. Essential oils eliminate free radicals, which can cause damage to cells, and are full of antioxidants. Oxidation can also cause damaging mutations in cells and lead to tumors. Essential oils can also decrease other possible cancer risks.
If you want to start preventing and decreasing your risk of cancer, then check out our line of several Eucalyptus-based ShowerMists. Each of the essential oils listed above is infused in our Eucalyptus ShowerMists, allowing you to experience the potency of two strong essential oils.

Everyone knows that living a healthy life involves exercise and workouts. Activity keeps our body in good shape to not only function properly but also look its best.
But exercise requires hard work, and that work can cause you to feel uncomfortable. So how can you improve your exercise while minimizing the repercussions afterward? One word: aromatherapy.
Aromatherapy is the perfect balance between natural medicine that doesn’t cause adverse side effects and effectiveness. The essential oils provided by nature possess potent properties to enhance your exercise and help you better enjoy the results instead of the consequences.
Aromatherapy in Exercise Preparation
Just like stretching and warming up are crucial in exercise prep to get the most out of your workout, essential oils can be another vital part of the process. There are several benefits that aromatherapy can provide in your exercise preparation:
- Energize
- Improve circulation
- Open air ways
- Injury prevention
- Eliminate soreness
Some good prep oils are rosemary, peppermint, and Eucalyptus. Eucalyptus oil is the best because of its comprehensive uses, providing all the above and more.
We recommend using our Eucalyptus Oil ShowerMist and diluting it with a carrier oil (e.g. almond or jojoba). Add 10-30 drops (or 1-2 spritzes) of the ShowerMist into the carrier oil to create the proper mixture. Apply it to the muscles you intend on exerting, around the neck, and on the chest to improve circulation and open up your air ways.
Aromatherapy During Exercise
While you’re exercising, you’ll need something to maintain good performance as your body fatigues. Maintaining proper circulation and reinvigorating your body will help you do that.
Lemon and orange oil energize with their citrus scents and are also known to help improve circulation. Our Citrus-Infused Eucalyptus ShowerMist will energize, keep circulation up, and allow more oxygen intake so you can focus on your workout, not your exhaustion. Apply it using the same recipe as above.
Post-Workout Aromatherapy
With post-workout aromatherapy, soreness and stiffness can be a thing of the past. The best oils to combat muscle pain and tension are Lavender, Eucalyptus, and Teatree oil.
We recommend Lavender since it’s soothing and shortens the recovery time for your muscles. Using a similar mixture as noted above, massage our Lavender-Infused Eucalyptus ShowerMist onto the muscles that are likely to be sore as soon as possible after your workout.
Using these oils will prevent injuries, relax your body, and boost your immune system.
Make Aromatherapy Part of Your Routine
You don’t have to let muscle stiffness and pain slow you down anymore. Aromatherapy will enhance your workouts and exercise routine, driving your body to achieve goals faster without the side effects.

Whether or not you like crafting, sometimes you just feel you need to try a DIY project of own. But looking at the breadth of aromatherapy projects you can make yourself can seem daunting as you get sucked into a Google or Pinterest Black hole. So here are some great DIY Aromatherapy ideas you can use today. For these ideas, we recommend using our Citrus Infused Eucalyptus ShowerMist.
Even though most of the time our ShowerMist is used in showers (of course), EuroSpa ShowerMist’s can actually be used as a room spray. Sometimes here at EuroSpa, someone will come into the office who is a heavy smoker or has sprayed just a little too much cologne on that day. After they leave, I will use the bottle of Citrus Infused ShowerMist that stays on my desk. Just a couple of spritzes in the air and in just a few minutes, the smell is gone and you are left with the refreshing scent of Citrus and Eucalyptus!
If you have a teenager or a man in your house, no matter how well they try, their shoes can sometimes be just smelly! To help get rid of that smell, spray the Citrus Infused ShowerMist on the inside of the shoes and let them sit overnight. The first thing you will notice is the smell will start dissipating. By the morning, the shoes smell better and the ShowerMist should help keep the smell in the shoes from coming back as strong as Eucalyptus is a natural odor eater. I personally use it all the time to keep my sandals smelling great since as a California girl, I pretty much live in them!
Do you love to use scrubs in the shower but can’t afford some of those amazing looking products that you see on BuzzFeed? Try pairing our Citrus Infused ShowerMist with our Mint Infused ShowerMist, mix in some Epsom salts and a carrier oil such as almond oil. The Mint Infused ShowerMist will add a cooling effect to the mixture to help relieve aches and pains while the Citrus Infused ShowerMist will invigorate you and open your sinuses!
Tired of how dry Purell and other alcohol based sanitizers can make your hands feel? Mix some aloe vera gel together with the Citrus Infused ShowerMist for your own version of a hand sanitizer. Not only will your hands no longer be dry because of the aloe vera, but the Citrus Infused ShowerMist will not dry out your hands either!
And finally, my personal favorite as we have used it many times in our household. Sometimes no matter how well you clean or what you pour down the drain, your garbage disposal smells. And that smell can spread throughout the house fast! Try spraying the Citrus Infused ShowerMist down the drain and let it sit for at least 15 minutes before you run water down the drain. Suddenly the smell will be gone and your whole house will smell like oranges. I personally have used this multiple times in different houses and works so quickly you will be surprised!
