Recipe for Body Scrub
June 12, 2009
I have been making natural recipes off and on for about five years just experimenting. It has recently come to my attention that my recipes are actually pretty successful. I have tried all of them on myself and have learned the correct amount of what ingredients to use by trial and fire.
*3/4 cup of sesame seed oil
**1 cup of sea salt, preferrably baleine
***6 drops of essential oil(s)
* denotes footnote
1) Take a good sized bowl and mix the oil and salt together well. Let sit for five minutes to let the salt absorb the oil.
2) Add essential oil(s) and combine well.
3) To store, keep mixture in an enclosed jar in a cool, dry place.
4) When using, apply to dry skin before a shower in circular motions. Sit near a shower to quit from making a mess. Remember not to use if you have any cuts or scratches.
5) Take a warm bath or shower to remove.
* any type of natural oil can be used. For example, extra virgin olive oil, grapeseed oil, etc.
**sugar can be substituted and it is also gentler on the skin.
***to use oils, remember to match the oil to the mood you want and to divide them evenly if using more than one. For example, Lavender is used for calm. Cloves are used for stimulation, same as cinnamon. Lemongrass or orange oil can be used for a refreshing experience.
