How to get soft, silky skin & pamper yourself!

February 21, 2009 · 1 Comment

Okay this was an idea from a good friend of mine Ravena, she is like the Queen of cooking and beauty products with ingredients from around the home.  If you have kids wait until they’re tucked in for the night and you can relax…

Scrumptious Sugar Scrub

Ingredients

        Ingredients:

  • 1/2 c Sugar
  • 6+ drops of your fav essential oil (I used orange because I love the smell tbh but it also helps you sleep).  Check out a list of essential oils & their healing benefits here to help find something suitable for you.
  • Approx 3 T of carrier oil (your local chemist or even supermarket should have some good ones like apricot etc I used sweet almond.

Oil into sugar.

  1. Put 2-3 tablespoons of your carrier oil into half a cup of sugar and give it a good mix (you don’t want it to be too oily just enough to join the sugar together but when you pick it up it’s not going to fall apart in your hands) add more if you feel you need to.
    Essential oil into sugar and oil mix.
  2. Then add your 6+ drops of essential oil and mix in until you know it’s gone right through the ingredients.
    Yummy Scrub!
  3. Now you’re scrub is ready to be used!

Use the scrub like any other exfoliator you would buy however when you wash this one off, it’s best to jump straight into a hot deep bath with a cool drink to soak & relax!  You’ll feel the results straight away!

Note: If you wanna pamper a loved one this is perfect for a quick & easy foot/ hand rub with their favourite oils and they will love it too!   Also, you don’t have to use it all, if there’s any left over you can put it in the fridge and it can be used again the next day :o )
