Selena Gomez never fails to surprise me. She is one of the biggest beauty moguls on the planet currently and even she has a beauty secret that you’d never think Selena would ever care about. Apparently, the star has an affinity for aromatherapy and she specifically loves 2 essential oils that she uses all the time.
It’s no wonder now that Selena Gomez is mostly always calm and kind-hearted. The essential oils she indulges in promote those exact feelings and do so much more. Read on to find out how Selena uses essential oils to unwind and her favourite picks.
Selena Gomez Talks Aromatherapy & Essential Oils
In an interview, Selena said, “I love having the same aroma in every room because it makes you feel like you’re at home, no matter where you are. I have two humidifiers, and I mix eucalyptus and lavender oil for every room I come into—even my bus. I’m also about lighting, so everything has to feel very cozy and warm. I love to set the mood; that‘s kind of my thing.”
Being on the road constantly can get kind of stressful, and Selena has found that aromatherapy helps her deal with that. She mentioned that the oils she uses while travelling and touring are what smells like home so I bet she uses them in her casa to unwind as well. And the best part is that essential oils have tons of health benefits.

Selena typically diffuses her essential oils through a humidifier. You can simply fill the humidifier with the recommended amount of water and then add a few drops each, of eucalyptus essential oil and lavender essential oil to the water. Power on and the aromas will be diffused across the room.
