DIY Body Wipes with Lavender and Geranium
There’s something so dreamy about the pairing of lavender and geranium…it’s soft, floral, and grounding all at once. It’s one of those scent combinations that feels like a little exhale for your nervous system—and your skin loves it just as much.
If you’re anything like me and crave simple, natural ways to feel refreshed throughout the day, these DIY body wipes are a must-have. They’re perfect for warm summer days, post-workout moments, road trips—or slipping into your bag when you're heading out for a festival weekend.
Think sun on your shoulders, music in the air, and that effortless, boho flow…these wipes keep you feeling fresh and glowing without interrupting the moment. And the best part? Geranium naturally helps repel bugs, so you get a light, floral shield that smells beautiful—nothing like those harsh, chemical repellents.
I also love using them as a gentle facial refresher—like a botanical toner you can take anywhere.
🌸 What You’ll Need
Keep it simple and intentional:
- 3 tablespoons witch hazel
- 5 drops lavender essential oil
- 3 drops geranium essential oil
- Cloth or disposable face towels
🌿How to Make Them
In a small glass jar, combine your witch hazel and essential oils. Give it a gentle swirl to blend everything together.
Add in your wipes—this can be soft, clean fabric pieces (cut up flour sack towels are inexpensive and great for this purpose) for a more sustainable option or even those thick paper/cloth face towels you can buy that are meant to be single use. Let them soak up all that beautiful, botanical goodness.
✨ How to Use
Keep your wipes nearby for little moments of refresh throughout the day—after being out in the sun, dancing under the stars, or anytime you want to feel clean, calm, and lightly scented with those soft floral notes.
This is one of those small rituals that feels like self-care without needing extra time…just a simple, grounding pause in your day.
🌿 A Little Festival Tip
If you’re festival-bound, tuck these into a woven pouch or a small tin in your bag—they’ll be your go-to for staying fresh, dewy, and comfortably bug-free from sunrise to sunset.
Or store them in a pretty glass jar at home to turn something functional into something intentional and beautiful—because those small details matter.
