InstaNatural lemon and peppermint essential oil REVIEW

I have been testing out some essential oils I received from instanatural complimentary through brandbacker for testing purposes in exchange for my honest opinions and reviews. you can check them out here on their website and on amazon!

I received a 4 oz bottle of their lemon and peppermint  essential oil. They are 100% pure and natural.
I love that it comes in a dark glass bottle. I wont have to worry about harmful chemicals leeching into my oils. 

These two essential oils retail for $19.97 each. They also have a sleek looking diffuser I've had my eye on!

I Googled the uses for these oils and I have found so many. My bottles are already half empty!!

                      Uses for the lemon essential oil
1. In case you leave your laundry in the washer too long, add a few drops of the lemon essential oil
so it wont get that nasty smell.
2.Clean hands- if you get grease on your hands add a couple of drops with your soap to remove it.
3.Natural Disinfectant- add 40 drops lemon essential oil and 20 drops tea tree oil to a 16 oz spray bottle, fill with water and a little vinegar.
4.Face Wash-mix lemon oil with baking soda and honey for a natural acne free face wash.
5.Improves mood- diffusing lemon essential oil in the air can lift your mood and fight depression

                     Uses for the peppermint essential oil
1. Sooth motion sickness-massage several drops of the peppermint essential oil on your wrists or abdomen or inhale to soothe motion sickness or nausea.
2. Curb appetite-  inhaling peppermint essential oil is said to help curb your appetite by triggering a sense of fullness.
3. Improve your shampoo- add 2-3 drops of peppermint essential oil to your shampoo and conditioner to stimulate the scalp and wakeup.
4.Reduce allergies- diffusing peppermint oil along with clove and eucalyptus oil can reduce your symptoms.
5.Repelling mice- place a few drops of peppermint essential oil on a cotton ball and place under your cabinets or where the mice are coming in from to repel them.

There are so many uses for these oils it was hard to pick only 5 each! I'm going to get the diffuser for my house I just love the scent of the lemon! what I have been doing is placing a few drops in my kitchen sink then running hot water over it and it fills my house with a wonderful lemon scent!

You can purchase these on amazon or their website I love them both so I really cannot pick a favorite.
