Most individuals have heard how essential oils can be used to reduce stress. Most skin care professionals are likely familiar with oils, such as lavender and eucalyptus to promote calming and relaxation benefits that soothe and ease tension. Many are already familiar with these aromatic scents andyou may have already used some of them.Perhaps these oils have been used in bathing products like bath salts, in body scrubs, skin care products, on clients’ facial towels, or while massaging. Personally, I love using essential oils in all of my treatments. I also love to educate on the many beneficial uses of essential oils and the powerhouse impact they can have in our lives on a daily basis.
