Do you have a man in your life that enjoys using essential oils in his everyday life? Or maybe you know a guy who isn’t quite ready to jump in. Personal care recipes are a great way to introduce men to essential oils. Dive right into an oily lifestyle with the 6 Best Essential Oil Recipes for Men. 

Best Essential Oil Recipes for men

Most men like to smell nice and look well-groomed. From showering to shaving, and then cleansing and moisturizing, there are a lot of steps in a man’s grooming routine. My husband often takes longer to get ready than I do. To avoid harsh chemicals, he switched over to homemade essential oil recipes for his grooming needs. 

My man is more likely to reach for a woodsy tree oil than a floral. His absolute favorite is Cedarwood. Some scents are floral and sweet but there are plenty of essential oils with rich, rugged aromas that men enjoy.
