6 Simple Ways to Incorporate Essential Oils into Your Everyday Routine

Essential oils are one of the most natural ways to support your physical and emotional well-being. These plant-based oils are known for their therapeutic properties, helping with everything from stress relief to sleep improvement, and we use them in many of our Corinne Taylor products.

All of us need time to relax, unwind, and give ourselves some TLC. Essential Oils can be fantastic tools to support your overall wellbeing and improve your self-care routine. Whether you’re new to essential oils or looking to integrate them more into your routine, here are six easy ways to experience their benefits daily.

1. In the Bath/Shower

Swap your artificial bath products for ones infused with essential oils. Opt for blends designed to energise you in the morning or help you relax at night. They’re gentler on your skin and offer mental benefits too. Why not look at our range of Himalayan Bath Salts, they’re a great example of how to use essential oils for ultimate relaxation.

2. Home Fragrance

Whether you want to create an uplifting atmosphere or a calmer energy for stress relief, you can create the perfect mood with essential oils. Use a room mist, natural soy candle, or diffuser to bring uplifting or calming scents into your home. Essential oils like Lavender and Frankincense promote relaxation, while Rose Geranium and Patchouli can bring comfort, joy and balance. Our Room, Pillow & Linen Mists are a great example of how to use essential oils to freshen your home, while benefiting from the emotional support these oils help promote.

3. Natural Cleaning Products

Essential oils are fantastic to use to clean your home. They are natural, safe, non-toxic, and smell beautiful. You can make your own cleaning products using essential oils very easily - one of our favourites is a multi-purpose cleaning spray made with white vinegar and Lemon essential oil. It gives a clean, citrusy scent without any of the heavy chemicals or fragrances.

Do remember that dilution is key, and take into account your personal sensitivity to essential oils, and your surfaces compatibility with these ingredients before using.

4. Supporting Physical Health

Essential oils are not just useful for aiding balance in your emotions. They can also provide physical health benefits, such as promoting skin healing, reducing muscle pain, or supporting respiratory health. One simple way to incorporate essential oils into your wellness habits is by using them to help soothe aches or clear your airways. Our Aches and Pains Bath Salts were designed with this in mind!

5. As a Perfume Blend

Perfume rollers with essential oil blends are a wonderful alternative to synthetic perfumes, and can also provide a great benefit to the body and mind. You can purchase ready made blends, or create your own with your favourite oils that offer the therapeutic benefits that you need. 

6. Stress Relief & Anxiety Management

Stress and anxiety can adversely affect our physical and mental wellbeing. Try incorporating products containing essential oils for anxiety into your self-care routine. A blend of Lavender, Frankincense, Patchouli, and Chamomile essential oils – as found in our Calm Body Balm - can help to bring a moment of calm to your day, especially if you struggle with stress or tension.
