Whats the difference between decorative oil and bath oil?
I was advised to apply decorative oil directly to my body after showering, but it looks just like bath oil that you pour into the bath water? How to use decorative oil exactly?
Decorative Oil and Bath Oil are made totally differently!!
Decorative Oil is made to smell from a candle burner.
Bath Oil is made to soak into you body and make you feel better.
Who ever advised you, was not thinking about your health!
The ONLY OIL that you can use for BOTH decorative and body is ESSENTIAL OIL. A little goes a long way!! You can pick up essential oils at health stores or you local spa. I know that GNC, the Body Shop and the Body Works stores carry essential oils. Before you get to "creative" with the smells of the essential oils, read up on the effects that these oils have. Some are photo sensitive, strong smelling, and some may cause an allergic reaction.
Here is a list of different essential oils that are used in bath and body recipes.
Choose an essential oil that suits your skin requirements you can always substitute essential oil ingredients for ones that are more suitable, more affordable or simply to one that you may already have.

It is always wise to consult a qualified aroma therapist before using essential oils. Pure essential oils are concentrated, it is not necessary to use large amounts of oil.
Always dilute the oils to 5% or less with a carrier oil before applying to the skin.
Keep the oils away from children and from eyes and mouth.
Do not use the oils if pregnant, epileptic or suffering from high blood pressure.
The following is a basic guide.
Massage: Dilute 5 or 6 drops of essential oil to 100 ml of carrier oil.
