Aromatherapy Beauty Products to Turn Your Space Into an At-Home Spa

When you're ready to wind down, grab one of these relaxing picks.

Aromatherapy uses essential oils and plant extracts to improve your well-being, including your physical and mental health. I love using products with essential oils because they often smell amazing, are soothing on my sensitive skin, and help me relax, especially as we continue to navigate living in a global pandemic. Every day, I wake up and turn on my essential oil diffuser ($25, Urban Outfitters) and put in a few drops of one of my favorite oils ($11, Thrive Market). (My go-to oils are lavender, vanilla, and eucalyptus.) Then, I use my favorite aromatherapy beauty products, including hand lotion, perfume, and lipstick. Here are my top picks to try for yourself.

Lipstick

Keep your lips nourished while you lead virtual meetings. (Or have a video happy hour with your girlfriends.) This long-lasting lipstick features flower waxes and honeys to keep your pout moisturized. It's available in 24 shades of berries and pinks to flatter a variety of skin tones.

Buy It: Blooming Bold Lipstick ($20, Origins)

Body Cleanser and Body Lotion

After sudsing up with this gel, the only thing that will get you out of the shower is knowing you have a body lotion that smells just as amazing. The cleanser is gentle but effective at cleaning your skin, and the creamy lotion locks in moisture. Both are safe for sensitive skin and must-haves in the dry winter months.

Buy It: C.O. Bigelow Eucalyptus Body Lotion and Cleanser Set ($28, Net-A-Porter)

Eye Serum

It's never too early (or too late) to start an anti-aging regimen. This serum firms and tightens skin to reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles. It also firms the skin, reduces inflammation, and brightens the under eye. The formula features Frankincense for a slight woodsy scent.

Buy It: Aromatherapy Associates Hydrating Firming Eye Serum ($70, Saks Fifth Avenue)

Perfumes

I love this set because it allows you to try seven perfumes, including rose amber, grapefruit, lime, and vanilla woods, all for a great price. They're all made with ethically-sourced, fair trade, and organic essential oils, and a spritz of any of the light scents is the perfect pick-me-up as you're working from home all day.

Buy It: The 7 Virtues Peace Blend Perfume Set ($29, Sephora)

Hand Sanitizer

For me, a bottle of hand sanitizer is always within arm's reach. Thanks to aloe vera, this spray sanitizer has a soothing scent, and it won't dry out your hands. It's fast-absorbing, and one package has more than 500 sprays.

Buy It: Power Mist Aloe Vera ($12, Touchland)

Lip Balm

Dry, cracked lips will be a thing of the past with the help of a moisturizing lip balm. The handmade item features a super smooth (not sticky) formula that glides over your lips. Plus, with a purchase of this balm, you're supporting the small business Simple Traditions that has a perfect 5-star rating with nearly 10,00 sales.

Buy It: Geranium and Lavender Lip Balm ($4, Etsy)

Scented Candle

Ever since I started working from home, I've been burning candles during the day and night to make me feel better. (Yes, I've gone through quite a few.) This hand-poured option is cruelty-free, smells delicious, and is super affordable. Vanilla is my favorite, but it also comes in a Black Currant option and a Cedar and Suede version.

Buy It: Lavender and Vanilla Scented Candle ($6, Public Goods)

After using my hand sanitizer, I always lather up with hand lotion; dry skin and cracked knuckles are the worst. This product is made with eight essential oils plus shea butter to keep your skin super soft. It also works well as body lotion if you have any excess.

Buy It: NEOM Great Day Hand & Body Lotion ($25, Nordstrom)
