Hey lovelies. Do you schedule time for your selfcare or are you like me who squeezes it in whenever I can. As a mum sometimes that is what you have to do. I love taking a moment for myself after I have done the dishes or after I’ve put the kids to bed. Using this scrub on your hands and body is a lovely way to take care of yourself and your skin.
I really enjoy making my own (DIY) natural beauty and home cleaning products. The more I think about it the more I remember watching my Mum making her own natural beauty products when I was growing up.
For the last couple of years I’ve been working on reducing and eliminating our toxic load. That is chemicals and toxins that are in our home. Most of these come in products that we use and put on our bodies or that are in products that we use to clean our homes. By making my own products I know what is contained in them #nonasties.
I have also recorded a video below to show you how to make this scrub.
BENEFITS OF THE ESSENTIAL OILS
Green Mandarin - Is the oil of pure potential. It has uplifting, refreshing, cleansing and calming properties.
Grapefruit - Is the oil of honouring the body. It has antioxidant, antiseptic and anti-toxin properties.
Wild Orange - Is the oil of abundance. It has energising, antiseptic, antidepressant properties.
YOU WILL NEED:
1/2 heaped cup of raw cane sugar
1/2 cup melted and cooled coconut oil
10 - 15 drops dóterra citrus essential oils (I used green mandarin, wild orange and grapefruit)
Mix everything together in a bowl or jug and place into a glass jar to store.
TO USE: Use on wet skin and rub in circular motions on hands or from the feet upwards. Rinse off with warm water.
Your skin will be super soft, look, feel and smell amazing.
N.B - Coconut oil will solidify in cooler climates, simply scoop out scrub and as you r rub between your hands your body heat will melt the oil.
In warmer clients you may need to add extra sugar to create the desired consistency.
