If you are like most people, face masks have become a way of life whether you like it or not. 

Many people may be feeling anxious or claustrophobic when having to wear a face mask for long periods of time.  Or maybe you don’t like to smell your own bad breathe.   

One way you can make your mask a little more bearable is by using an all natural spray made with essential oils.   

Essential Oils have emotional benefits and can be very calming to help with the irritation and stress of wearing a face mask.

Supplies for your Face Mask Spray

1 oz Spray Bottles

The first thing you’ll need to do is pick up a few sprayers for your face mask spray.  The recipes in this article call for a 1 oz spray bottle.  I like to grab a pack of sprayers from our good friend Amazon so that I have several for around the house and in my purse.

I adore these pretty little frosted glass spray bottles that come in either silver or gold.*

Or you can pick up a pack of these basic glass spray bottles that come complete with labels, funnels, pipets and a wire brush for cleaning.

Mini Funnels

Mini Funnels like these make getting your witch hazel, water, or carrier oil into your container much easier.

These funnels are a must have for anyone doing any kind of DIY projects with essential oils and you’ll be able to use them over and over.

Witch Hazel

You’ll need some Witch Hazel to use as the liquid in your spray bottle.  This is how the essential oils will be sprayed out onto your face mask.  Choose an unscented, natural Witch Hazel like THIS ONE that is alcohol-free.  

This Witch Hazel is perfect for anyone with sensitive skin.

Next, Add Essential Oils to Your Face Mask

Now that you have a face mask that you like, you will want to add a pleasant smelling essential oil spray to it before you put it on. 

Benefits of Using Essential Oils on your Face Mask

There is a direct pathway from your nose right into the olfactory system of the brain.  Our mood is instantly affected when we smell an essential oil.  This makes adding an essential oil to your mask a perfect way to help stay calm, focused, and in a good mood!

Breathing in an essential oil will also help mask the smell of your breathe!!  Bonus!

Which Essential Oils to Use in your Face Mask Spray

 There are several essential oils you can choose from.  Here’s a quick list of some of my recommendations and the benefits of each of these oils.*

• Wild Orange – smells fantastic and can calm emotions and is energizing at the same time
• Breathe – Opens up airways and is very calming especially if you are struggling with anxiousness about wearing a mask
• Eucalyptus – opens up your lungs and airways as well as the mind
• Lavender – very calming and soothing
• Lemon – bright, clean scent.  Great for your immune system

DIY Face Mask Essential Oil Spray Recipes

Here are some fun DIY Face Mask sprays you can whip up in a spray bottle and throw it in your purse so you have it handy.

Facemask Refresher Spray recipe option

This mask spray recipe calls for a 2 oz spray bottle.  This set of three comes with a mini funnel and at the time of this writing was the lowest price they had ever been in 30 days.

Add 10 drops of each oil and top it off with witch hazel (you could use water in a pinch)

This is a good option if you don’t have time to wash your mask before wearing it again.

These Recipes call for a 1 oz spray bottle.. If you prefer using a 2 oz spray bottle, just double the number of drops.

Directions to make Your face mask essential oil spray

How to Use Your Face Mask Essential Oil Spray

Once you have your face mask spray ready to go, it’s very simple to use it. 

Give the inside of your spray one or two spritzes, and that’s it!  If you have sensitive skin, you may want to spray the outside of your mask instead of the inside so that the essential oils don’t make contact with your skin.

Final thoughts on using a Mask Spray

While using a mask isn’t our first choice, we can make it easier to bear by using a pleasing essential oil spray.  

Choose a spray for your needs, or even make one of each and keep them in a cosmetics bag in your purse.  You can pull one out and use it as needed.  

Just be sure to wash your hands or spray with OnGuard Hand Sanitizer so that you aren’t getting germs on your mask.
