Sweet Dreams Aromatherapy Bath Oil
Soothing, sleep-inducing bath recipe for insomnia
with lavender aromatherapy oil
Deep, rich and sensuous, this aromatherapy bath oil is one of my favorites.
It calms your nerves, relaxes your muscles and quiets your mind so you can fall into a deep, peaceful sleep.
Not only that, but these essential oils are especially good for repairing the skin and reducing wrinkles (Bonus! I'm all over that!)
If you don't have time for a bath, simply massage some of the lavender aromatherapy oil into your face and torso before sliding into bed - you'll get the same luxurious effect!

borage oil or
sea buckthorn oil to a base of
sweet almond oil or
jojoba oil for dry or maturing skin.
