Get ready for spring
Temperatures are rising and the days are getting longer: spring is just around the corner. The change of season is a good time to give yourself a little time. Gotes suggests four essential oils to go with it.
Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia)
A must at home. Its relaxing scent, rich in linalool and linalyl acetate, is perfect for unwinding at the end of the day and preparing for rest. A drop in your night cream, or a few drops in a massage with vegetable oil, turn your routine into a moment of calm.
Good weather invites you outdoors: always protect yourself with sunscreen. Afterwards, a vegetable oil with a drop of lavender helps moisturise and soften the skin.

Eucalyptus radiata
Its fresh, balsamic scent is ideal for clearing the air. Add a few drops to the diffuser in the morning and enjoy a pleasant feeling of freshness at home.

Petitgrain bigarade
Obtained by steam distillation of the leaves of the bitter orange tree. Its green, slightly floral scent is perfect for slowing down and creating a serene atmosphere on busy days.

Ylang ylang
Spring is the season of flowers, and ylang ylang is an invitation to open your senses. Its floral, warm and enveloping scent is perfect for a relaxing massage or for scenting your home.

Remember to always dilute essential oils before applying them to the skin.
