Five Summer DIY Sprays
These are quick and easy!
Summer is here and there are a few oily DIYs that are going to come in very handy this season. I love these recipes because they are easy to make and they use oils that you likely already have in your home. Coming up below, instructions to make your very own:
Cool Down spray
After Sun spray
Bug Repellent spray
Healthy Hair spray
Tummy Tamer spray
If I had to pick two oils that are very popular for summer, they would be Lavender and Peppermint. It’s a great idea to keep a full bottle, or an extra bottle of these oils around, as there are many uses for them … like in these sprays!
See the recipes below, and adapt to suit your own needs.
Where to get supplies:
Spray bottles: Voyageur Soap & Candle, Cosmo Packaging, Oil Life, and Amazon all have good options.
Fractionated Coconut Oil: the doTERRA one is lovely, and the same supplier where you get your bottles will also have fractionated coconut oil.
Witch Hazel: your local health food store.
Essential Oils: I always recommend doTERRA (purchase here)
My personal favourite spray would have to be the Cool Down spray, I have already refilled mine and made one for a friend. Have fun creating your own sprays!

PRO TIP: keep this spray in your fridge, it will be even more cooling when applied to your skin.
PRO TIP: this spray works well on kids as well, when their little shoulders get a bit too sun-kissed.
PRO TIP: this could also be made as a water spray with witch hazel, but if you are applying to the skin, coconut oil leads to better absorption and staying power with these oils.
PRO TIP: spray onto hands while hair is damp, and use hands to work through your ends up to the roots.
PRO TIP: let your friends and family know you have this spray - you never know who’s going to need it and they will be grateful if you share.
