How do I use zero-dollar home spa in a diffuser?

Add Peppermint 2 · Rosemary 2 · Lavender 1 · Bergamot 1 · Sweet Orange 1 · Ylang Ylang 1 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 peppermint?

Swap peppermint for spearmint — same minty family. The blend will shift a little: spearmint is sweet and cool, softer than peppermint, with a hint of chewing gum.

When is the best time to use zero-dollar home spa?

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.

Zero-dollar home spa · Peppermint, Rosemary, Lavender blend

Six essential oils for a home spa session without leaving the house. Peppermint and rosemary open wide awake, cool and green; lavender, bergamot and sweet orange join in to make the scent rounder and fresher, then ylang-ylang leaves a little sweet flower at the end. Good for self-care sessions that last a full hour. If you'd rather lean relaxing than alert, drop one drop of peppermint and add one drop of lavender.

How it unfolds

On opening. Peppermint (cool, sharp and clean); rosemary (cool, green, herbal and invigorating); bergamot (light citrus with a floral edge, Earl Grey style); sweet orange (ripe, sweet, cheerful and round) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing); ylang ylang (rich, creamy, tropical and sweetly floral) form the body of the scent and stay longest in the room.

What remains. With no woody or resin base note, this blend fades fairly quickly — switch it on again after 1–2 hours to keep the room scented.
