Making of Homemade Body Splash

• Alcohol is essential for a body splash to preserve the fragrance. One can use pure vodka. Those who have sensitive skin can go in for witch hazel. For fragrance one can go in for prefabricated fragrance oil. The oil should be alcohol soluble. A better alternative to synthetic fragrance is essential oil. These herbal extracts can be blended according to your preferences. For example, jasmine and rose can be blended for a floral scent. Orange and ginger oils can be blended for an energizing effect. For a relaxing scent, one can blend scent, sandalwood and pine.
• Combine one-half cup of vodka or witch hazel and a cup of distilled water. Add not more than six drops of essential or fragrance oils. After covering the container, shake it well for at least 30 seconds, so that the oil gets distributed completely. Attach a nozzel and a personalized label to jar
• After bath, spray the body splash all over the body. One need not rub it in, as the alcohol will help in the evaporation of the excessive moisture within a minute or two. Once dry, moisturize as usual and then dress up. One may want to reapply the splash as it does not remain very long. Perfumes, on the other hand last longer.
