น้ำมันหอมระเหยแท้กลิ่นตะไคร้หอม (Citronella)

Citronella essential oil is derived from various species of citronella grass (Cymbopogon nardus and Cymbopogon winterianus). It is best known for its strong, lemony scent and its use as a natural insect repellent. While it may not be a typical choice for beauty and spa treatments due to its distinctive aroma, it does have some potential benefits and uses:

Benefits for Beauty and Spa:

Insect Repellent: Citronella oil is commonly used as a natural insect repellent. Its strong scent can help keep mosquitoes and other biting insects at bay during outdoor spa activities.

How to Use Citronella Essential Oil in Beauty and Spa:

Insect Repellent: Dilute citronella essential oil with a carrier oil (such as coconut or jojoba oil) and apply it to exposed skin before outdoor spa activities.

You can also create a natural insect repellent spray by mixing citronella oil with water and a small amount of alcohol or witch hazel in a spray bottle. Shake well before using.
Outdoor Spa Atmosphere: If you're hosting an outdoor spa event, you can diffuse citronella essential oil to help keep insects away from the spa area.

Use a diffuser or place a few drops on cotton balls and strategically place them around the spa space.

DIY Candles or Incense: You can create your own citronella candles or incense for outdoor spa sessions. Blend citronella essential oil with melted wax for candles or mix it with a combustible base for incense sticks or cones. These can add a natural insect-repelling element to your spa setup.

Room Freshener: Citronella oil can be used to create a natural room freshener or spray to freshen up indoor spa spaces. Combine it with water and a few drops of other pleasant essential oils like lavender or lemon for a more appealing aroma.

It's essential to be cautious when using citronella oil on the skin, as some individuals may be sensitive to it. Always perform a patch test before applying it to a larger area of skin. Additionally, citronella essential oil has a potent aroma that some people may find overwhelming, so consider the preferences of your spa clients when incorporating it into your spa treatments.

While citronella oil may not have as wide a range of beauty and spa benefits as some other essential oils, it can still serve a valuable purpose in creating a comfortable outdoor spa environment by keeping insects away.
