16 DIY Beauty Gift Ideas with Essential Oils

This is my go-to lip balm recipe that I know you will love! I used to sell these little puppies and had repeat customers for years.

This lip balm is different than lots of other DIY recipes you might find on the great big web....it's made without coconut oil (shocking, I know!) and uses a combination of several luscious natural oils and butters.

It's easy to customize this with your favorite essential oils too.

Scroll to the bottom for cute packaging ideas too!

These solid lotion bars make a great homemade gift idea, and are so easy to customize using your favorite essential oils!

These little handheld lotions are super concentrated and nourishing, so a little goes a long way.

Lotion bars make a great DIY natural gift when paired with a reusable metal tin (and they're zero waste too!).

Speaking of lotion bars, this chocolate version is delectable and smells so good you might be tempted to eat it. The addition of cocoa powder and essential oils gives this a sweet, chocolatey scent perfect for the choc-o-holic in your life.

One of my favorite beauty DIY recipes, homemade cuticle oil is so easy to make YET works so wonderfully.

It's crazy how quickly this comes together, and it is so nourishing.

This cuticle oil strengthens nails and softens cuticles, packing a double duty punch of natural goodness for your fingers.

Lemon, rosemary and lavender essential oils all help strengthen and soften (and smell ahhh-mazing).

More body scrubs, because they really do make great DIY gifts! This Himalayan salt scrub is probably my favorite body scrub. It is a combination of pink Himalayan and dead sea salt, with nourishing oils and essential oils to boot.

5 different scent choices are included in this recipe as well (margarita is my FAV).

I especially love to pair a salt scrub with something like a lotion bar for a great homemade nourishing combo. Use the same scents in both recipes and you've got a great homemade gift set.

OK, one more scrub option, this one for the coffee lovers. Coffee scrub is great for skin and has that wake-you-up coffee smell most of us love.

There are 3 versions here - for body, face and lips, so pick your favorite and whip it up for the coffee addict in your life.

Now for a few DIY recipes for the men in your life.

First up, for the bearded guy in your life, try this woodsy beard oil. It's for men that like to smell like a tree (like my husband).

It's bearded man tested and approved, and SO easy to make.

Pair this with the next recipe for a duo every bearded man will love.

You might wondering why a bearded guy would need BOTH a beard balm and a beard oil. According to my very bearded husband, they both serve very different purposes and are necessary.

The beard balm acts as more of a styling product, while the beard oil is to soften and moisturize.

This beard balm has a slightly firmer texture than other balms to give more hold for unruly beard hair.

And, of course, its loaded with woodsy essential oils and makes your guy smell like a tree.

For the guys without facial hair, try this homemade aftershave recipe. It's made with soothing aloe vera and great for giving post-shave skin that baby-soft feel.

Create an entire spa day gift set using these ideas and recipes. You can easily make tons of amazing DIY spa day recipes that will make an amazing and thoughtful homemade gift.

Essential oils add that spa-like feeling to your products and really make your spa-day gift stand out!
