What is aromatherapy?

Have you ever taken in a scent, and it immediately felt better? Certain smells can make you feel comforted and safe such as the smell of baking, clean laundry or freshly cut grass.

Certain scents, ingredients and oils do more than just smell beautiful. They also have many medicinal properties. According to Aromatherapy Associates, aromatherapy is the "power of aroma, through essential oils to improve your wellbeing therapy."

"Used in ancient cultures for thousands of years, the term aromatherapy was named by a French perfumer and chemist René-Maurice Gattefossé in 1937."

Aromatherapyis now thought of as both an art and a science. In recent years, aromatherapy has gained more recognition in the fields of science and medicine to help with anxiety, wellbeing and general health.

Cons: The smarter box is limited edition
Review: "I suffer with sensitive skin so I was a bit dubious about whether this would be ok for my dry eczema-prone skin, but this left my skin feeling lovely and soft. No irritation at all. It smells gorgeous, almost a marine scent, which I adore. You don't have to use very much and you get a really decent sized bottle - when I've used bath oils before they've come in a tiny bottle that barely lasts one bath. The bottle is glass which I was pleasantly surprised by, and I love the gold packaging. The glass bottle makes it feel that bit more luxury, and the blue oil is such a lovely colour I've left it on display on the side of my bath. The price may not fall under luxury but the product itself certainly made me feel like a VIP."

How to make a luxury bath at home?

1 Create a relaxing ambience with candles, music and whatever you think will help you relax.

2 Start with bath salts and bubble bath - Epsom salts are a fantastic way to help soothe your aching muscles and a bubble bath will help create beautiful bubbles for you to delve into.

3 Add in some essential oils - Many bath oils come with a blend of natural oils to help smooth your skin. However, you can go that extra mile and add other oils such as rose or peppermint if you are looking to add some medicinal properties.

4 Put on a face mask - Now is a good time to put on a face mask as you will be relaxing for at least twenty minutes.

5 Moisturise and use body butter when you get out - Lock in the moisture when you get out of the bath to ensure you are extra smooth and hydrated.
