Using a burner or a diffuser to infuse the room with a lovely aroma, our recipients can completely relax themselves and enjoy the following spa treatment more. Moreover, the scents can also help with relaxation and lifting the spirit. The most common essential oils used in spa are mostly rosemary, bergamot, lemon, orange and eucalyptus. Citrus essential oils are best for lifting spirits and dealing with depression.

3.     Helps the Skin Texture

Interestingly, essential oilshave the properties that can help improve the skin texture and condition. They are thus often used in skin masks and other skin care products, such as Helichrysum, Lavender, and Frankincense.

Oils, like peppermint, ginger, and sandal wood are useful in facilitating blood flow and improving poor blood circulation by toning the blood vessels. Therefore, our therapists tend to use essential oils to enhance the effectiveness of the spa treatment.

It is important to remember that essential oils have to be used with carrier oils during the spa sessions,because they are too strong to apply directly on the skin alone.
