Why You Should Use Body Mists

Benefits and When to Use Body Mists for Personal Care

Body mists are lighter than perfumes to avoid being overpowering. Because your nose adjusts to bath & body scents quickly, you might accidentally apply too much perfume during the day. Body mists are great for when you want to enjoy your scent again during the day without it becoming too strong for others. Perfumes aren't ideal for more than one application in a day due to their high concentration.

After taking a shower or bath, you can spritz the mist all over your body. It's important to use body mist on your skin not your clothing like you would with other bath and body products. However, if something in your closet has lost its fresh smell from sitting there a while, you can also spritz it.

Body mists are easy to bring with you on the go for touch-ups because many mists come in bottles that don't break or leak easily. Perfume bottles are often best left at home, depending on their design.

Personal Care

Scents have an effect on our mood and well-being. You could use a body mist that has relaxation-inducing scents in its formula to help you fall asleep easier at night. Spray your bed sheets and pillow with the mist for a good night's rest. Just make sure the body mist is ideal for sleep. You wouldn't want to use an energizing or stimulating scent. Jasmine, lavender and bergamot are examples of scents that help you get a better night of sleep.

Happiness

Rose and other floral scents can help you feel happy. Smelling them in the morning sets you up for a more delightful day. Some research has found that floral scents increase your concentration and speed up your learning as well. Spritzing a floral body mist before and during work may help your productivity. Studies on rose scents have found that they reduce stress too.

Confidence

When you need a confidence boost for an important presentation, a job interview or any other situation that has you feeling nervous, scents like jasmine, ylang ylang, rosemary and vanilla are helpful. Citrus smells also increase confidence. Lemon, in particular, can actually create a more positive first impression on the person with whom you're interacting.

Sexy

Are you looking to spend an intimate evening with your partner? The aromas you choose can set the tone. Strawberry, vanilla, cinnamon, pumpkin pie and jasmine are arousing scents. They can help you and your partner relax and feel more stimulated. Some of these scents even increase blood flow for assisting in arousal.

Energy

Peppermint, cinnamon, lemon, orange and rosemary are good scents to use when you need more energy. They also improve your focus. If you have trouble waking up in the morning, lemon and rosemary are especially helpful in waking up your brain.


Curb Cravings for Junk Food

Vanilla and citrus help curb appetite after you have eaten. If you were to smell them before eating, however, they wouldn't have the same effect.

Now that you have a better idea of how scents affect your mood and physiology, you can see why a variety of scents is so essential. You can use them to enhance or change your mood to enjoy a better life. There are scents to address any type of feeling you want to create or enhance. Have fun experimenting to see what works best for you in different situations.
