Body scrubs are as good for you as body brushing, and give us a yummy way to nourish our skin! If you're not too sure about using salt, sugar is gentler and won't sting if you've scratched yourself. If you want to make it gentler add some fine oatmeal to the mix.
Rose & Lavender Salt Scrub
There really are no hard and fast rules with this one. Em loves to cover her salt scrub with oil, this really depends on preference. These recipes are easily mixed up to suit whoever is making it, feel free to switch up the amounts or types of oils, salts or even dried flowers. Some people choose to use fresh flowers or even the contents of their favourite herb tea teabags, it's all a matter of preference. Once you get into the hang of it you'll see what we mean.
155g sea salt
A big handful of dried rose petals (enough to mix in with the salts, so they're dotted around the place)
125ml sweet almond oil or any other cold-pressed carrier oil
10 drops lavender oil
5 drops rose oil
Mix the salt and the rose petals together and put them into a jar.
Add the essential oils drop by drop, close the lid, and shake it up to distribute the oils.
Open the jar and pour the sweet almond oil over the salt. Seal the jar and shake again.
This will keep for up to 3 months.
This is just what I need, thanks Layla.

Do you think I could swap chamomile teabags for the rose petals?
ReplyDeleteThanks layla. I'm going to try this with some ylang ylang.
ReplyDeleteHi Elizabeth, thank you so much for stopping by!You could definitely switch up chamomile teabags for the rose petals, aim for approximately 50 grams and you can always boost the chamomile factor by adding a few drops of chamomile essential oil to the mix
ReplyDeleteand anonymous I applaud your daring spirit! let us know how it went :)
Much love,
Layla
