August is almost to a close... and marks the waning cycle of the summer season...a time for you to breathe out the busy and often hectic days of summer...and begin to create quiet...relaxing...and nurturing rituals or traditions to pamper yourself...and those you care about.
Making your own bath and self-care products is easy...and very affordable...and you have quality control.
Be sure you purchase only pure essential oils...and remember that a few drops of an essential oil goes a long way. Use clean and dry recycled bottles and jars to store your hand blended bath and spa products in...but remember setting them out in your bathroom does make for a pretty display. And when you need a last minute gift to give...hand blended products make for a thoughtful and welcomed gift to someone.
Below is a wonderful and soothing body exfoliating scrub...you can apply this with your hands...or fill up a clean...old sock...tie off with a ribbon...and use it to scrub with.
This product will exfoliate dead skin from your body...leaving your skin soft and glowing. Soak in your bath for a few minutes to soften skin and relax...then begin to massage this product...using a circular motion on your body...but avoid your face area.
EXFOLIATING BODY SCRUB
1 tablespoon sea salt
2 tablespoons plain yogurt
1 tablespoon thick honey
2-3 drops of sweet marjoram...rose...or juniper essential oil
Mix in a small glass bowl...use immediately.
Enjoy,
Victoria
