Winter Cheer Blend ~ A Cheery Sort w/ Witch Hazel!
{and SO much more!}
One of the many benefits of essential oils is their ability to heal mind, body and spirit. In the face of Winter, we need our oils on all levels ~ to strengthen our immunity, brighten our spirits and soothe our wintery dry skin!
I created this versatile and bright blend to freshen and revive air space on bleak and dreary days.
I added witch hazel for the option treating yourself to a skin restorative during the day! One quick spritz to your face or neck to wake up and brighten your mood and skin or...
-Improve scars or stretch marks.
-Be an effective diaper rash spray.
-A natural deodorant!
-Soothe and heal bug bites faster.
-Sanitize hands too!
Adding Witch Hazel is a little stroke of genius, I love it's all purpose properties. It's right up there with essential oils on my list of must haves!
How to blend your "All Purpose" Winter Cheer...for your space, your face or diffuser
In a 2oz glass bottle, add essential oils and top the bottle off with alcohol free Witch Hazel. Give the bottle a gentle shake before using. Bonus, the Winter Cheer blend is lovely in the diffuser too (minus the WH).
3 drops Geranium
balance ~ tissue regenerative ~ anti-bacterial ~ anti-depressant
6 drops Lavender
tissue restorative ~ calming ~ lessens anxiety ~ anti-microbial
2 drops Wild Orange
anti-depressant ~ digestive ~ emotional balance ~ anti-septic
In Summary...
Witch hazel is one of those simple, natural products that work beautifully in tandem with essential oils. Combining the two will brighten, soften, tone and sanitize.

Made up this blend today & am LOVING IT! Thanks Rebecca! You rock!
I just made this, great recipe, thanks!
that's the next purchase I have to make. Witch Hazel...Amazon here I come..so excited to continue learning :) Thank you
Have you found anywhere to buy pure witch hazel without alcohol or other additives? Does it even exist? Why does drug store witch hazel always have alcohol in it??
Most health food stores carry alcohol free witch hazel as does Amazon - I've linked to my favorite brand above :)
I'm sorry, I wasn't clear with my question. I love Thayer's, but it is a witch hazel *toner* which contains other ingredients. I'm looking for pure witch hazel with no alcohol or any other ingredients at all. Any idea where I might find it? Thanks.
Debi, perhaps you're looking for Witch Hazel extract. One option is Mountain Rose Herbs online :)
I have been spritzing this blend (in witch hazel) on my face before I go to bed at night and it is really helping to clear up my acne! I have a history of acne and had previously used your Rosacea blend to help with the redness I have from acne scars. My skin had been OK for a while but recently I had a breakout of spots on my chin and round my jaw line. This is really helping to calm it all down. Two things to be cheery about!
I'd love to see more acne treatments on the blog if possible. I love reading all your other posts as well :) Thank you!!
