Drop therapy or soap therapy. Part I

This new aromatic therapy made it into the scene around 1995. It came up in such a simple way as pouring a drop of lavender on soap and make foam of this blend. That is right, as simple as this.

This can be applied on your face, hair, and body, always with the simple concept: Applying on a neutral or vegetal soap two or three drops of scents and proceed to the body application.

For hair, you can use scents of chamomile, rosemary or cranesbills; for your face you can apply chamomile, sandalwood or lavender; and for the rest of the bod6 you are free to choose.

If you are in those hard days full of work and /or academic assignments that produce to you a lot of stress and energy worn-out, then you will need rosemary scent to give you strength. In addition, to avoid that something or someone gets you out of your nerves, a good choice will be lavender or sandalwood.

But be careful on the scents you are going to use for the parts of your body with sensitive skin like the face (some scents may be too aggressive); it is recommendable to use smooth scents as lavender, chamomile, jasmine, rose, sandalwood, etc.

If you are doubtful about this, you can make a little anti-allergy test that consists of:
Mixing 10 drops of an essential oil you do not know you are allergic to and 1 drop of the suspicious scent on a sensitive area as the internal part of the forearm. Cover this part with a neutral band-aid. Check it every two hours and if in 24 to 48 hours, you do not notice any irritation, you can be sure that scent will not give any problem.

However, if you want to be 100% sure you can repeat the test after a week.

Try not to use citric scents or other photosensitive scents to avoid any eventual spots on the face skin or any uncovered parts of the body, in case of a later sun exposure.
