Mood Boosting Scents

Did you know that getting yourself out of a funk could be as easy as taking an inhale? Well it is true! The area of our brain that processes smell is linked with the area that processes emotion, and so smelling something good can actually boost your mood. However, not all smells have this affect, so the following is an outline of some smells that are pleasant to the nose and your spirit!

Peppermint: This scent is said to stimulate the part of your brain that controls wakefulness and so a good whiff of this can have you feeling more alert on sluggish day. Beauty Tip: Peppermint also possesses amazing antibacterial properties - we use it in our Beta Mask.

Lavender: If you want the opposite affect of peppermint, lavender is the choice for you as it has been proven to calm the brain and offer serenity in a busy world. Beauty Tip: Lavender is used in our TranspHuse Night Serum to calm the senses before bedtime.

Citrus: The bright,uplifting scent of citrus fruits are commonly associated with happy memories and can easily brighten your day.
Beauty Tip: Wake-up with a smile on your face by using our C-Peel first thing in the morning, it's gentle exfoliation and uplifting orange scent will send you sailing into your day.
