How do I use DIY facial at home in a diffuser?

Add Geranium 3 · Frankincense 2 drops to 200–300 ml of water. In a room under 15 m², use 1–2 drops less; in a room over 25 m², add 1 more drop of the main oil.

What can I use instead of geranium?

Swap geranium for lavender or ylang ylang — same floral family. The blend will shift a little: lavender is floral-herbal, clean and soothing.

When is the best time to use DIY facial at home?

Use it at the end of the day, on weekends, while reading or right after a shower — whenever you want everything to slow down a beat.

DIY facial at home · Geranium, Frankincense blend

Steam, cleanse, a gentle massage: a home spa made by you. Geranium leads with a fresh, lightly sweet green-rose scent, and frankincense comes along with a warm resin base and a hint of lemon. The two notes capture the feel of a skincare room, clean and soothing. Use them through a diffuser in the room; don't drip the essential oils directly onto your skin or into facial steam water.

How it unfolds

As it settles. Geranium (green and rosy, fresh and balanced) forms the body of the scent and stays longest in the room.

What remains. Frankincense (resinous with a light lemony note, deep and still) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.
