Essential oils may do a little more than smell good. According to research studies, they may also have positive effects on your health including improved sleep, better quality of life, and even provide relief from anxiety and depression.

An investigation on the effects of aromatherapy revealed that lemon oil may even boost your mood. Mayo Clinic experts have even suggested using essential oil for mental fatigue, and to help cope with restlessness and anxiety.

So, with today being Mental Health Awareness Day, we decided to round up all the beauty products that make us feel as good as they smell in the gallery below.
