DIY Calming Lotion Bars with Essential Oils

DIY calming lotion bars with essential oils help you take the time you need to destress and relax. Stress can have a detrimental impact on your health, and it’s good to keep it in check.

These DIY calming lotion bars help you to do just that, while making your skin super soft to the touch!* Before we divulge all the details on how to make them, here’s some of the properties of the essential oils we chose for these fabulous bars:

Roman Chamomile: Relaxes nerves; reduces stress; diminishes PMS; and curtails aches and pains.* Also a great antidote for skin impurities, such as rashes, eczema, and inflammation.*

French Lavender: Relaxing, calming, and balances energy.* The scent soothes the mind and helps with stress and anxiety.* Lavender essential oil is largely known for its insomnia-relieving properties, but it also combats inflammation, physical wounds, headaches, and aches and pains.*
